Platonic Longing - Tumblr Posts

Do you know what is attractive? You. No, it's not about physical appearance, but the way you understand someone, comfort someone, and wish to hear the comforting words that you say to someone. Physical appearance matters in our generation, but low-key, every person wants to have someone who will just listen and understand them without any complaints. Love them unconditionally; it's not about romantic love but platonic love.

Okay, I am serious. Who wants to go on a date with me? (platonically)

Tell me you love me without actually telling me that you love me.

Do you find someone so cute that you just want to eat their cheeks? (cutely), or is it just me? 

I'm starving for love

Wdym I can't be in love with my friends??????? that sounds so stupid

nobody talks about the heartbreak that comes after you drift apart from your platonic love and the worst part is people treat this so normally like "friends heartbreak is inevitable" yes that's somewhat true but how could you say that too casually? People think friendships are any less than romantic relationships and that is so wrong

holding hands?????? yes. Long warm hugs?????? yes. caressing hair?????? yes. comparing hand size?????? yes. YES PLEASE. I want all that.

but I am too scared to ask

when is it my turn to say "you came"??????? why am I always the "you called" person????

friends are so precious like yes I love you and your rants pls don't apologize for your rants cause have you ever wondered: what if I actually love those rants???? basically everything about you? you can be a little unsettling but I absolutely adore every part of you. I have so much love in my heart and I'd gladly share it with you. All love that I have ever shown to you is yours to keep. Please keep it with care and double it cause I can guarantee you I'd always love you more than I love you today.

I want to hug the moon, it looks like she would like one

there's something about the moon otherwise why would the poets of that time go crazy and write tons of poetry about her? I totally get them. I look at the same moon those poets used to look at and I absolutely adore the moon as much as they did or maybe even more

cupid is shooting its shot and I am constantly dodging it bc my attachment and abandonment issues said, "no thank you, we have got enough problems"

people who write poetries or like writers/artists in general- I love you. Thank you for existing. Your presence truly makes the world a better place.

I heard someone say, "Naps don't help when your soul is tired", and this couldn't be more real

I'm definitely a big fan of sharing love, but when my younger sis goes all huggy and kissy with our mom (not w me, as I genuinely dislike this and she knows she might get a smack for it), it's like, "Okay, that's cute, I guess?" But tbh, it sort of makes me cringe, and I'm silently pleading, "Could you maybe not do that when I'm around?" or I make a concerted effort to ignore it before I lose my mind. It simply feels different and strange.

Being the eldest daughter is like them putting a lid on the love shower you soaked up when you were a little kid, all so you don't end up this big-time spoiled brat. Instead, you're supposed to grow up all responsible and mature (which earns you those "you're mature for your age," "you're an old soul" comments). So, you end up being the person everyone turns to when things need straightening, even if you have to push your feelings aside. Eldest daughters become experts at sacrificing, so when they actually let go of things they care about, it throws everyone off. They pretty much become the third parent for their siblings, and sometimes they're even parenting their own parents. And here's the twist – you can't really vent about stuff because you're the oldest daughter. Making compromises becomes your middle name. All of this adds up to bottling up feelings and not really letting your parents in on much. But, when the whole act slips and you finally show how you truly feel, parents come back with, "Why are you so down? You've got a roof over your head, everything you need – some kids don't even have that." So, you end up feeling guilty about opening up. They do care, seriously, but it's mostly about your physical well-being. They're always bugging you about drinking water and eating on time. And their logic? "Who's gonna be stuck next to you in the hospital if you get sick? I've got a ton of important stuff to deal with, you know!" So, you dodge emotions. Then you get blamed and yelled at because your younger sibling gives your parent attitude and somehow it's your fault because you're the oldest daughter. You're taught that oldest daughters have to be soft, kind, and gentle, even when someone's wrong, even when the other person is acting like a jerk – you're told not to lose your cool. How does it start? You know, from simple things like "don't be like that, share your stuff with your siblings," "you're a bad kid for scolding your sibling because they wrecked your project, come on, they're just naive, you can do it again, right?" "You're a grown-up, stop whining about that." So, giving up on things becomes a casual thing, and then your whole life you're seeing yourself giving up on people, hobbies, everything, and you let other people take your stuff without a complaint or a single tear because that's selfish and oldest daughters aren't supposed to be like that.

now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me

me after saying the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, soul-piercing, eyes-tearing thing known to humankind- "It's not that deep lol"

everybody wants you to love yourself until you actually do
