2021-05-29 17:08:47 purpose in life?


"Just for the hell of it."

Seriously—why should I objectify myself by reducing the value of my existence to my usefulness?

Purpose is for tools. I ain't no tool; I'm a human being, dammit!

For a sentient lifeform, there is only ever but one purpose in life, and that's to live. And if you're gonna do a thing, you might as well do it well, right? Otherwise what's the effing point?

So a less dehumanizing focus than "What's my life's purpose?" is "What does ‘living well’ mean to me?"

2021-05-10 11:57:30 People might see me as a weird quiet introverted person.

Sometimes, when I’m in a sugar high, I will be the most outgoing crazy adventurous sons of bitches who don’t give a flying fuck about anything..

And I keep switching between these two and it confuses/fascinates people as it makes them think “how can someone that weird be that confident” which is…. Honestly exhausting sometimes cuz you want people to know that you’re not like that ALL THE TIME and you need your space just like any other weirdo introvert.

It’s just that.. I hate saying this to people cuz it might hurt their feelings and make them feel unwanted which is only temporarily true :( <3

And also when I’m being quiet/withdrawn it’s not because I’m sad or angry and sure as hell it doesn’t mean that my former extraverted adventurous self was a lie or an act, it’s just that my main function and natural mood is to be silent and that (for some reason) intimidates people into thinking I’m angry or sad *face palm*

2021-04-20 00:57:37 Always remember that even 10% is better than 0%.

A piece of fruit is better than eating nothing.

3 hours of sleep is better than 0 hours.

One paragraph of the essay is better than an empty page.

Splashing only your face with water is better than not cleaning yourself at all.

Making your bed is better than leaving your room completely messy.

With any of these things, you are going to end up better off than you would if you didn't do that. Again, it may not be the best, but it's your best on that day, and that's what you need to focus on.

I don't have that light. But yes, I can understand you. I can sit with you on the same rocking boat, the same couch, and we can hold hands to comfort each other and talk about our problems, but I won't tell you why tomorrow might be a better day. But honestly, I hope it might. I truly hope so."

Which perhaps might be true. Honestly I still don’t know. I know I had some sort of feelings for him and that I miss the connection we had.. but I’m struggling to find words to describe those feelings.

2021-03-21 10:09:16 I know you are going through a very, very rough time. And I don't know why, but also don't want to know. What I want you to know is that I love you the way you are. And I’ll always be there for you whenever you need me.

2021-01-31 10:32:34 “There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.”
