obituaries in the south are so funny, they’ll be talking about a man who spent his 72 years on this earth torturing his family and terrorizing the small town he was born into and saying shit like “he ascended to his eternal reward” “he rose to glory” like no baby he did not. “was called home” is my favorite euphemism because it fails to mention if it was God or Satan who wanted him back
the year is 2023. I abandon my partying phase and stop caring. AllI I do is work and study and start romancing myself. I start wearing glasses and stop caring about what anyone thinks. I make myself intricate breakfasts and go on walks and write myself letters. I throw myself into my research and I go full nerd. Nothing else matters but the peace I have and I’m holding on to it as hard as I can. All breaks in my spirit begin to just feel like wrinkles in silk chiffon. It was a year I came out better than I came in.
unintentional destination of my idiotic near-death “shortcut” outside Charlston WV. worth it because what’s written is uncannily what had been on my mind
rebranding after blocking my ex boyfriend on everything from spotify to email and privating my accounts so I no longer feel like Im on a stage, it’s new yorks hottest club this season
btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.
•Adding butter or cheese or salt or whatever to your veggies so that you like them doesn’t change the nutritional content you get from said veggies.
•Additional calories eaten don’t negate the healthy benefits of food. And, stay with me here, low calorie foods are not more morally pure than high calorie foods.
•If making a food more palatable by adding butter (or whatever) is the make-or-break for someone to actually eat the vegetable, then the Brussel sprouts with butter are FUCKING HEALTHIER for you than the Brussel sprouts you don’t eat. A salad with ranch dressing is healthier for you than the dry greens you don’t eat. A sandwich with cheese and mayo is more healthy than the plain sandwich you don’t eat. The strawberry with whipped cream is more healthy than the strawberry you don’t eat.
•We actually don’t have to buy the bullshit that food that makes us happy or tastes good is less healthy.
“nothing you add actually removes the healthy nutrition in the food” applies to everything by the way. Your body will still use all the good protein and things in “junk food,” and the only “junky” thing is that those foods may give you far more sodium or sugar than your body can use if you aren’t balancing them right.
I haven’t forgotten the specific Tumblr dudes who tried to give me shit for saying this in the past and want them to know they’re still extremely fucking stupid, hope that keto diet hasn’t given you guys a deadly liver disease yet!
