"No One Remembered My Birthday-" Well, But Did YOU Tell Anyone It Was Coming Up And You Wanted To Celebrate

"No one remembered my birthday-" Well, but did YOU tell anyone it was coming up and you wanted to celebrate it with them?

"I wish someone would see through it when I tell people I'm fine-" Well, but have YOU considered not lying when people ask you how you're doing?

"I am so resentful of my friend because they keep doing this thing that really bothers me-" Well, but have YOU directly communicated that the thing is bothering you?

"I am burning out because my friend keeps expecting me to help them with serious struggles-" Well, but have YOU tried to establish the boundaries you need to feel okay?

"No one ever asks me about this thing I really care about-" Well, but have YOU brought it up yourself?

"I miss my friend but they haven't texted me-" Well, but have YOU been reaching out to them?

Sometimes people are mean, uncaring assholes, in which case you get to be mad. But sometimes you just need to communicate better. Try communication before you assume someone doesn't care!

Reading amazing fanfiction, then forgetting to bookmark it

Mom appreciation post

So my mother has recently (these past few years) started reading after learning that

apparently people are out here making up their own images in their brains and it’s not just some cartoon bs

she can sort of recall images so she uses that info to assign actors and whonot to characters in her books

And it’s just so funny to me that my mom went from “I don’t understand how you read so much” to “omg I can’t find any books I like” and “I’ve read three 200+ page books in the last 24 hours and just found out there’s a 4th book in the series and I’m pissed”

I honestly love it, it’s so adorable to watch my mom be able to appreciate books in a way she couldn’t growing up. Now I get to just walk outside and go “hey mom did you finish that book you were mad at?” And the I get her cliff notes ADD version of the book and have a conversation with her about it and I love it.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!
