i loveeeeeee nonlinear storytelling. show me where we are. now show me how we got here. the end before the beginning. show me how it was inevitable or how many chances we had to change things(nothing was ever going to change). let's meet in the middle as all the puzzle pieces slide into place hell yeah that's the good shit.

One of the most fascinating parts of this is that despite this incredible shame and humiliation reaction that can be induced with near nothing, it’s still children’s tackiest era, on average.
It’s important for parents to let their children go through these awkward and humiliating eras without too much interference. For example, my mother let me dress in the tackiest ways possible from 10-12 and as much as I hate those photos, that black T shirt with a giant portrait of a white tiger with blue eyes was the coolest thing ever to me at 11.

Every once and a while when I search a keyword I get catapulted into a past self’s conversation, and I never know if it’s going to be poignant or I’m going to have to relive a version of myself being a complete asshole.
hey man I found a piece of your soul stuck in the text messages of old friends you don’t speak to anymore. do you want it back
you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy
