Were You Perpetually And Exclusively Praised For What You Could One Day Become, Instead Of What You Were,

were you perpetually and exclusively praised for what you could one day become, instead of what you were, leading you to a lifetime of feeling like you were not only never good enough, but that the best thing about you was a future that would never come, that constantly felt like it was slipping away? Did you become so afraid of closing doors, of losing that one good thing, that potential, that you stagnated at the crossroads until your life began to rot around you and the asphalt ground to gravel and the roads grew ever rougher, the doors closing one by one even as you tried in vain to keep them open, instead of choosing a path and committing to a direction for your own progress? Did you watch the best thing about you, the one thing you were praised for, slowly collapse in your arms as you tried desperately and hopelessly to save it, finding yourself kneeling in the ruins of your unexplored promise, looking for a way out, and wondering if there was no where else to go? no way forward? When someone tells you they're proud of you, that they love you for who you are, that what you are is good enough, do you cry? do you struggle to believe them? do you have to try your damnedest just to make yourself hear the words? Do you wonder if, one day, you'll learn to be happy with who you are?

john lennon and art garfunkel's friendship is like autism vs. adhd

Thank you for reminding me that Artie told that story more than once! He's crazy and I fuckin' love him for that 🥹

ffs someone pls help me ive been searching for an hour trying to find this quote... i think its garfunkel talking about paul simon but it could be vice versa, but they describe a moment when they have their faces pressed close together, something about feeling eachothers breathing or mouths or something? maybe looking in eachothers' eyes? idk pls help

Go vote! I know it's a very tough choice, but go.

Tbh I have two favorites, Bridge and Only Living Boy, but since my favorite version of Bridge is a demo one for this poll I chose Only Living Boy. And also because of... well, reasons.
