28. What is your favorite type of pie? (Or, is pie an acceptable replacement for cake?) Blueberry pie~ It has a tangy bitey taste. I like most fruits, but, in pie, a gentle fruit becomes too sweet and dull….

This is surely my last post before people arrive, so… see you all soon! Keep creating beautiful things, and, if you can’t, keep being strong, and, if you can’t, it’s okay, just cry or whatever you need to do and remember that somebody cares….
I will miss you… best of wishes in everything you do….

Yes. I love this. Difference not just something to push away, or, tolerate, but something to love and enjoy and explore and just, be with.

I Don't Want to Talk →
There’s a societal component to this, of course, where not having the spare energy to talk isn’t considered by the broader society to be a legitimate state of being, so of course there’s not a socially acceptable way to say it. Instead you’re supposed to feign willingness, at least until the other person leaves. Hating small talk is considered semi-legitimate, but only if you look at it as a...

littlefeatherheart:
I hide in caves and fairy-houses and thickets on a daily basis, simply because I don’t like the sun. My paler skin is the only thing I really like about myself (and my eyes of chocolate brown). It’s so sensitive, though; the slightest sun, even with the proper precautions, will burn my skin and I turn red and ruddy.
The moon is so much kinder to me. Going out at...

Oh, I need to tell you all… this evening, and, for some days, a...

just a small thing before i go to bed
The recent few days, I had some really triggery times in the evening… I was fine in the morning but then, I would just get badly triggered before bed and have a bad night. Tonight is the first night in a few days that I’m going to bed not feeling triggered at all and I’m really happy ♥ ヽ(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)ﾉ I feel nice and calm and sleepy is nothing is wrong at all.
It’s really nice...
