Exactly How Are People Supposed To End A Conversation? I Just Ended A Zoom Call By Saying “welp. Looks

me *talking to literally anyone*: it’s not that i hate you, it’s just that i hate everyone and you happen to fall into that group

Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy both have said "you are what you love", and it's such a strange lyric to me.

Taylor Swift said it in "Daylight", where she sings

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

Not the things I hate

Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of

Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

I, I just think that

You are what you love

Fall Out Boy has it in the middle of their song "Save Rock at Roll"

You are what you love

Not who loves you

In a world full of the word 'yes'

I'm here to scream

I think this lyric is so wierd. I didn't understand it the first time I heard it (on the FOB song, circa 2014). I'd defined so much of my existence around being loved by other people. I thought that was what normal people wanted. Why wouldn't they? Being loved by others is a fulfilling high. An emotional rush or endorphins. The ultimate goal. Right?

But these songs both reject that attitude. They both touch the story of someone who "trouble seems to follow". This is a person who has been in the dark and has now found the light. For FOB, I think the "light" comes from music, hence the chorus and title "Save Rock and Roll". But for Swift, the "light" comes from loving someone whose love for her is "golden".

That seems like character growth for both, but not completely. FOB went on hiatus for a number of reasons, but musical differences were a part of it. They nearly broke up because of the music, but they got back together because of it too. Swift was hurt by who she loved in the past, and became jaded as a result. But this new "golden" love could prove to be just as flawed over time.

So we are what we love. Swift is a romantic. FOB are musicians. Despite how those things have hurt them in the past, they can't help it. It's who they are. It doesn't matter if those things fade away for a time, they'll always find their way back. It took me 7 years to figure that out.

You are what you love, too. So what are you?

i only interact with like 10 blogs here then leave and watch from the sidelines

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

the point of “gender is a social construct” isn’t that gender is meaningless, it’s that we should be allowed to decide what it means

Here is a fun purple folie wallpaper that i just edited

I had to run to my school because I needed to give my homework to the principal before 4:45pm. When I was running back, my gym teacher appeared and asked me to meet her kids. Then my sister appeared and told me I was in trouble because I didn’t turn in my homework by 4:45.

i thought it was just me

the feminine urge to create a new playlist for every fictional couple i read about

we love them and will support them always but omfg look at these idiots! pHIL STOP SWALLOWING GLUE!!! omg dAniEL yOu dOnT neEd to bE iNcreDibly dEep and MeaNinGfuL alL the TiMe

love how the entire fandom collectively is like “this is dan and phil. they’re idiots, we hate them. but i have watched every single upload and will continue to do so for the rest of time.” like. ive never seen another fandom do that.

So many TV shows/movies depict the Epi Pen as a total solution for anaphylaxis...it's not. The Epi Pen gives you 30 minutes to get to a hospital where they can save your life. TV makes it look like you just have to use the Epi Pen and then the crisis is over. Do people without allergies or a loved one with allergies know that an Epi Pen only buys you time? The more I see this on TV the more I worry...

**Maybe you should reblog this because I'm actually worried that most people don't know.

READ THE EPI PEN INSTRUCTIONS TOO!

-Don't cover the back end (blue) of the Epi Pen with your thumb.

-Make sure the Epi Pen clicks when you inject it in the thigh AND hold it down for several seconds.
