And Maybe Pretend To Hear And Be Nice To Me - Tumblr Posts

when i tell my friends my favorite movie is dead poets society they're always like "haha ur so pretentious" and it's like no. i do not like it bc i'm pretentious (i am a bit but that's besides the point). i like it because i'm queer, i'm a bad poet, an anxious teenager, a trans guy, an escapist, an english major, a (hopefully) future teacher, an actor, a rebell. i love it because it makes me feel alive. if someone truly wanted to understand me, they would have to watch and understand the movie, because to me it's more than just pretentious bullshit. it makes me feel seen.
