About   

Right so I while ago I was super late to work because I was getting a possum off a busy road, then my grandpa fell and broke his leg saving a possum and to top it off last night dad was trying to help a baby fruit bat and was bitten. Will update if more of my immediate family chose to care about a random wild animal more than themselves

Officially am off of dating apps, mainly because I’ve learned. I’m not going to find my ideal love on those apps, and the apps haven’t been good on my mental health generally. Hookup culture is one of the main reasons I quick online dating, it really burns you out. It’s also a bad habit. The other reason, I just kept coming across icky people. Who only cared for hookups, and one night stands. I decided to post this, just to see if anyone is experiencing the same feelings. I’m in this odd stage of knowing what I want with love, I just know I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet. I would like to though, genuine companionship seems nice when the couple has genuine love for each other.

Hi. I usually get anxiety attacks from certain shorter events with specific triggers, but lately I have steady anxiety that last for days. Does anyone know ways to ground oneself well? I am constantly all warm and can’t think straight with chest pain and can’t formulate myself well. Workout doesn’t really help, slow deep breaths works in the moment.

It’s that time of year again in North Carolina where everything is in bloom, including the blooming pear trees - giving off a faint odor of c*m wafting through the air. 🌸💦

Why do we let a handful of out-of-touch old douchebags take our countries to war, enact invasive mass surveillance, and otherwise trample on our liberties? This isn’t just a US problem as we’ve seen with the Epstein files. I dare say that the average citizen everywhere just wants to live peacefully and get along with one another. We need to be louder and stop letting the “elite” in government, finance, and tech control our lives.

Que pasa hoy en día con las relaciones?? Es solo mi perspectiva o las cosas están jodidas para quienes queremos conocer a alguien para tener una relación?

Today I saw this woman, and her two kids sitting in the subway. She looked tired, happy yet, tired. She was comforting the baby that was in a bad mood, she gave him cuddles, and the cuddles calmed him down. And I noticed myself, noticing her. And a part of me longing to say. You’re doing so well, thank you for being such a good mother. I got off in my station, said nothing. But my heart had so much to say… That act of kindness touched me.

Is it Bad to Want it Again I ran back for the sleepless nights, The chase that left me speechless, The game we landed on the hillside. Every time we felt on edge, Or like this would be the last time. I ran for the hill, Just when it got good. Cause nothing lasts forever, That’s what I remember. We lived, Rinsed and Repeated.

I think that in most cases for gays to form emotional connections with someone (befriend), they deadass have to somewhat deem the other physically attractive…. And then there’s proximity connection

“"I live in the realm of the senses." What an odd thing to say. Later that night, home in bed, I considered what he'd meant. The senses are pure experience, I decided; there is no sense for how things seem, which is what matters to the superficial.” — Holly Brickley, Deep Cuts: a novel (2025)

Don’t be ashamed to be beautiful, don’t be ashamed to be kind, don’t be ashamed to be yourself. You don’t owe anyone anything, stop acting like you owe shame to people. Embrace the beautiful being you are, and create the most wonderful life for yourself. There’s no debt to be paid here, just a life to be lived.
