  • Straightening out 10 assumptions* people make about me because I’m quiet, none of which are true

    I’m not shy

    I don’t have low confidence

    I don’t prefer quiet environments

    I am usually quite happy and cheerful

    I don’t dislike you (probably)

    I’m not bored (probably)

    I’m not mysterious or thinking deep thoughts

    I don’t need you to speak up for me or talk to other people for me

    I don’t need you to help me to be louder or to invite me to talk

    Calling me quiet like it’s a bad thing (or doing any of these) does make me want to hit you

  • Puns

    Just told a pun so bad my boyfriend kicked over the kitchen trash can in a fit of rage.

    This is the closest gif I could find to symbolise it.

  • The Sims

    You know you’ve been playing The Sims too much when you hear a baby cry on TV and automatically think “they’d better go look after the baby in a few seconds or the social services lady will come and take it away”.

  • A Reminder for me

    Today I was reminded that I’m actually pretty laid back and that most of the time I don’t worry about little things, because the bigger things I sometimes worry about (yanno, like death and shit (sometimes literally shit)) make other smaller worries pale in comparison. Sometimes I forget that’s what I’m all about, and am in need of a reminder – I’m glad I got that reminder today.

  • the amount in which I miss you

    the amount in which I miss you
    is matched only by how ridiculous
    it is that I miss you
    and the certainty I hold that
    it doesn’t bother you

  • George Ezra

    You may think that he’s a demolition expert
    When he’s finished with your self-esteem
    It may be true we all need knocking down a few
    Come find shelter or your shelter with me, with me 
    – George Ezra, Breakaway

    I love George Ezra’s album, but you’re wrong, George. I didn’t need knocking down a few. I needed building back up.

    Don’t mind me; it’s been a bad week. I’m feeling sensitive to like, everything. So. Maybe next week will be better.

  • The right words

    Sometimes when you’re trying to say words at someone to tell them something, it’s really hard to find the right words. But then when you’ve stumbled about looking for the words, sometimes that person, if they are a little bit special, will say some different words back at you, and those words will be even better and even more right than the not-quite-right words you said to begin with, and you know that that person understands you. Sometimes an unexpected person can explain what you mean much better than you can yourself.

  • Leelah

    Some days I am just so upset and disappointed with humanity. Today is one of those days. I was going to write a poem or something but all I have to offer is questions like, why can’t we just accept each other for all our differences, even if we don’t completely understand them? Why should a person have to suffer so terribly because another person doesn’t agree with who they are? Why are the people who are supposed to protect us sometimes the people we need to be protected from? And why the fuck haven’t we evolved faster than this?

  • Sunset

    Just looked up from Tumblr and realised there’s a sunset outside demanding my attention.

  • Bastille pun

    I can’t fillet, I can’t fillet.
