I love tumblr bc this is the only place where you can have full fledged breakdowns on the dash and then rb pretty pictures 2 seconds later and no one cares. This is literally every other Tuesday on this website
idk if any more words are needed since itās penned so perfectly
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned āforeverā into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like⦠if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, itās a āfailedā business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you donāt actually want to keep doing that, youāre a āfailedā writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, itās a āfailedā marriage.
The only acceptable āwin conditionā is āyou keep doing that thing foreverā. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a ārealā friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a āphaseā - or, alternatively, a āpityā that you donāt do that thing any more. A fandom is ādyingā because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And itās okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success⦠I donāt think thatās doing us any good at all.
gotta learn how to change :/)
āIf you canāt do anything about it then let it go. Donāt be a prisoner to things you canāt change.ā
