Sometimes I Want To Text My Friends Happy Things, But Then I Wonder If They’re Feeling Like Being Happy,

No I am definitely not writing a character that’s aromantic so that I can have someone to project on, why would anyone think that that’s a ridiculous notion

Music is powerful because it hurts. It actually, very physically hurts. It feels like a thick balloon is inflating behind your chest and it's spreading to your stomach and arms and fingers and you want to curl into yourself as if that will stop it from growing but it continues on. The nostalgia will only ever be nostalgia. The weekly visits with a friend are now barely even a text every few months. The fandom you dedicated your life to is barely even a passing thought anymore. The ideas that ran through your head now gather dust as a forgotten word document. Life is better, sure, but life used to have them. Why couldn't life be better and still keep them?

This would have never happened if you hadn’t listened to that music. But oh how beautiful those memories are, and there's a smile on your face despite the balloon threatening to pop if you listen a moment longer.

I know I said “good 4 u” was at my ex best friend, but I don’t really associate it with her, because my little brother introduced me to it in the same hour that I started reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo and I always think of Kaz and Inej because of it. Good times.

One of my fears is that I'll one day become famous through writing novels, but one well-meaning person is going to try and cancel me for plagiarizing the story idea from online, and then I will have to prove my innocence by revealing both my Wattpad and my Tumblr accounts

I had a dream that I started dating this girl because she said so and then someone who was very homophobic tried to kill us by throwing some type of gas into the hallway we were in, and the school wasn’t doing anything about it, so I tracked this person down and threatened them because I was not about to let a SINGLE BEING hurt my girl

I don’t always like my older brother but uhhh shout out to my older brother for NOT getting mad when I’m not able to concentrate on his long rants. I will zone out all the time and I’ll suddenly cut him off with “Wait I’m sorry, I zoned out. Can you go back? The last thing I remember you saying was [thing]” and he’ll go back and explain what he said again. I’m sorry, Big Bro, that probably frustrates you, but thank you for putting up with me so far.

Aro story time

So my friend who I am not interested in asked me to prom and I didn’t want to hurt his feelings so I said yes. Prom happened, it was okay, kind of awkward, but I found some of my friends at the dance and hung out with them. Doorstep time, he confessed that he had feelings for me, and in an attempt to reject him kindly, I think I accidentally led him on. Because I told him, “You know I identify as aromantic, so I could never like you back in that way,” and then I got worried about his response so I said, “but I’ve always said I could see myself marrying a best friend.” And then we hugged and I kissed him on the cheek, but I don’t even see him as a best friend?? And I still don’t know what to do about that even a year later because he moved away for work and he comes back in like a week but I don’t want to talk to him really because I'm scared he’ll ask me on a date help

@crepus Yes that is exactly it!

I see your "Kaveh gets hurt and Alhaitham is forced to face his feelings and confesses before it's too late", but I raise you: "Alhaitham gets hurt and confesses because he's too out of it to have the filter that's usually keeping him from complimenting Kaveh at every turn"

Kinda wish I had a future to look forward to aside from the game I’m playing, but alas.

For like a year in junior high, I asked people to call me Dustin, which is not my name. I don’t really remember why I wanted them to call me Dustin but I think it was because my favorite character at the time was named Dustin and I thought he was the coolest dude ever because he had a motorcycle. And then in high school I had to work with this girl on a project and she called me Dustin, and it unlocked memories I had long since forgotten. And I remembered that just now because they took most of the Power Rangers series off Netflix.
