shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

Arogender is such a neat label because it doesn’t necessarily specify what a person’s gender is (although it can), but rather that it’s connected to our aromanticism. It can be varied, dynamic, vague or specific, a descriptor, an umbrella term, or a gender on its own. For me, being arogender sometimes means experiencing all genders, as though my lack of attraction has allowed me take on all the imagined “other halves” that society says I need to be happy. Other times, it feels like I don’t have a gender at all because so much of society’s understanding of gender is tied to attraction and how we relate to others romantically. And sometimes it’s a singular gender–just “aromantic” or “green” or “evil <2” Anyway, I love being arogender and experiencing aromanticism across different aspects of my identity

given how highly gendered dating and romance is, it’s not surprising that aromantic people don’t have as easy of a time fitting in with their gender or having one/knowing what it is at all. idk food for thought

“When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.”
— Ingmar Bergman

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

The unchangeable and unchanging truth: I am always, and always will be, vulnerable to my own work, because by making visible what is most intimate to me I endow it with the objectivity that forces me to see it with utter, distinct clarity.
Anne Truitt, from Turn: The Journal of an Artist
