The Woman Dies.

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

monoculture forests are deeply unsettling in a way that is hard to explain to people who do not spend a lot of time looking at forests

The exercise for centering oneself is a simple one. Stop thinking of what you intend to do. Stop thinking of what you have just done. Then, stop thinking that you have stopped thinking of those things. Then you will find the Now, the time that stretches eternal, and is really the only time there is. Then, in that place, you will finally have time to be yourself.

rust subplot:

Pretending you're fine when people cross your boundaries doesn't make you a really nice person, it just makes you a really shitty communicator. Far too many people pride themselves on being "too nice" when it's just that they have zero conflict resolution skills and will seethe in resentment for months instead of articulating the problem

>tfw everyone on your dash talks about Les Miserables and you haven’t read and/or watched it yet

no but like we are so used to seeing media in which the cast consist on beautiful young female actresses and kind of old kind of regular looking men that is so refreshing to see it the other way around. And there is nothing wrong with actors not being super yound and attractive, the opposite, i would love to see more “normal” looking people on screen. But it is soo tyring that this standard is only put upon women, male actors have a career as long as they are talented but for women they must be both talented and also young and conventionally attractive, with very few exceptions. So yeah i dont mind to have one (1) show that reverts this.
