Take Me To The Forest And Leave Me There Tbh

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

Can we please sit together and create? I want to make you mushroom earrings and weave flower crowns while you make ladybug tattoos on my hands with sketchpens. Let's giggle and play around while sitting on a checkered picnic mat. You can cut up fresh oranges and I will take out a dozen chocolates from my backpack. Oh please, let's sit together and create.

the earth's crispy crust allows we humans to trot our tender little hooves all over it without being scorched by magma

If homosexuality is a sin, then why is my Spotify wrapped full of fucking bangers???

I’m not sure how I feel about this information.

i am currently very devastated thinking about phil being the big spoon :(

i’m gay, i’m tired and i have soft hair; what more do you want from me?

Sometimes I imagine foetus dan meeting phil for the first time and falling in love almost immediately but being really scared about it but it’s okay bc phil is patient and kind and understands him better than he knows himself

Then I imagine foetus phil meeting this boy that he has an overwhelming need to love and protect and for the first time ever someone fully understands Phil and his quirks and he makes him feel so accepted and confident and strong

Then I remember that this actually happened, these boys are real and gay and in love I’m gonna fucking throw myself out of a window now

stay alive.

Not because your mother will cry at your loss but because the sun will come out tomorrow and you will not be there to appreciate it. Stay alive because the path will go somewhere exciting and you will not be able to experience it.

Stay alive because your favourite band might release a new song. Or your favourite series might be renewed for a new season. Stay alive because there are twenty thousand more series to hold you in your gloomy days.

Stay alive.

Not because your father will blame himself his whole life but you have a whole world out there for you to see. Because your coffee mug is sitting there waiting to be filled.

Stay alive because your older self is waiting for you to grow up as a wonderful person your father may not be. Stay alive because all the rights are waiting for you to fix them because nobody but you can do it.

Stay alive because the moon is there for you. The stars in the darkest of night need you to look up and admire them.

stay alive.

Not because your siblings will hold your clothes and remember you but your clothes need you to remove their emptiness. The next burger you are going to eat is waiting for you out there. Stay alive because a part of the air around you is reserved only for you to breathe.

Stay alive because a spot in front of the Eiffel Tower where you are standing needs to be in your album. Your streets are waiting for you to come for a walk with headphones on. Your favourite songs are waiting for you to give them that unmatchable attention.

stay alive.

Not because your lover will lose his/her half, but because of those roses in the garden waiting with love to be plucked for love. For that unwritten parchment that wants to be painted with your affection even if no one ever reads it.

Stay alive for the imaginations you have before your sleep and for the dance under the sky you want. For the days you laughed at your own jokes and the days you could not love yourself more.

Stay alive for your bedroom because it will never be the same without you. For the winds because they will never touch any skin in the same way. For the sky because no one will go crazier as you do seeing it changing colours. For the moon and the stars, you see so adoringly that they shine a little brightly for you. For all the songs who you have given a place in your heart. For all your favourite series you carry with you. For all the clothes you wear daily. For the rays of sun you love on your face and for the life that beats within you.

Stay alive for you.

Generation Z

Generation Z was born with the tragedy of 9/11 shadowing our birth certificates. A warning signal of what’s to come in the rest of our lives.

Because we grew up going to class with four— yes, four— of our classmates raising their hands and having scars on their arms being exposed. No one says anything because it’s too common for the guidance counselor to deal with, so everyone adverts their eyes instead.

We have, time and time again, gone to class only to hide under our desks for four hours not being sure whether the alarm blaring in or ears is a drill or not. Texting your parents worried because nobody knows what’s going on, and all you can do is hope that this is one of the dozens of drills you have each month and not one of the hundreds of school shootings every year.

We’re afraid to go to concerts and movie theaters and malls, and the general fucking outside world with our friends or family because of the terrorism displayed on the news. We’re scared of ending up dead every time we leave our house because the chances of it happening are more likely than it not.

We grew up in a mental health crisis and a new age of terrorism and violence. We don’t have memories of being happy, because as soon as we became self aware we knew what was going on around us.

And every time we say something to make things better for the next generation after us; every time we cry or slit our wrists just like we know to do oh so well; every time we try to do anything in the our lives we’re told that we’re too young to understand. That we have nothing to fear.

And when we’re dead, what do we have to fear then?

When we’re dead, will we finally be heard?
