I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Magical girl transformations are literally never not hype. I’m never sick of them, idk how many times I see them or how much episode time they take up or if they make any sense at all they are always awesome. I don’t even have to give a shit about the characters or the show I see a magical girl transformation and my brain just goes

i need to remember that recovery is not linear. there will be good days, there will be bad bad bad days, and there might even be some really bad days. but these bumps in the road do not mean you’re not getting better. they do not mean all the progress you made is gone. so please, if you are having a bad day remember this feeling wont last forever. i know it seems like it will, but if you can just hold on for a little bit longer, you’ll soon see again all you have been working for.
me to me: we’re going to survive this, because the world is full of love. you have so much love inside you, and even more will find its way to you.
one day you're going to have to live for youself, so why not now? just say fuck it and do what makes you happy.
life is weird because one minute you're 13 wondering if you'll ever see the age of 18 and the next you're 28 and excited to go shopping for lamps
