Me: *catches Myself Being Judgmental* Me To Me: I Did Not Raise U This Way

i think it is very important to remember that you can like dark academia and dumb rom coms. you can read sappho and the hunger games. you can like libraries and tailgates. you can listen to mozart and taylor swift. you can admire monet and fan art from a show you watch. you can like cottagecore and like to party. you can watch obscure foreign films and the office. what is life without variety. stop stopping yourselves bc it doesn’t match your aesthetic.

Okay listen if you are a baby queer and you don't feel loved, supported, or validated: you are the very precious grandchildren of the Stonewall rioters, the bright children of hope after the AIDS epidemic. You are the little siblings of ex-gay therapy survivors. You were fought for, and wanted, and loved. Everyone who came before you is so very happy that you are here.

y'all people who hate beige/brown and think it's boring have no love for the humble dirt

i want to be this person when i become a history teacher

i LOVE how unapologetically eccentric academics are they’re just on another level all the time... the head of my university’s history department ends every one of her emails with her ‘potato quote of the week’. i want to have that energy <3

a gen z mood is nobody, even your friends having any idea what your personality is actually like and feeling deeply, profoundly lonely because of it

“Be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask someone if they are okay twice if they say they are, but look like they aren’t. Be the kind of person who smiles at people even if they don’t smile back. Be the kind of person you wished for when no one was there for you.”

— Nikita Gill (Be That Kind of Person)
