#Life thoughts

I saw a post today talking about how difficult making friends can be, as well as maintaining friendships, and as someone who has spent the last few years learning how to maintain friendships while moving a couple times and some big life events. One of the best things you can do for a friendship is organise to do THINGS.

Not just meet and talk or chat over message. Arrange to go swimming, or for a row boat ride, cook dinner together, try making clay creatures and laugh at how bad they are. Go to see a play or a singer or a waterfall.

Sit on a call together in silence while you crochet or watch something at the same time in different locations.

Or while you both draw or do dishes and say the random questions that come to mind 'do you think aliens could exist?' 'How can you tell when you're in love?' 'There’s a really cool bird out the window I think you'd like it, it's all blue and green!'

The key is to not try to keep the friendship for the sake of it, but enjoy the Person and their company

Maintaining of a friendship over time requires effort, but also acceptance that you won't speak or see each other all the time. My 3 best friends are all from different phases of life and I have had periods of months or years where I didn’t speak to them just because we had shifted how much we saw each other.

You see them when you see them, you speak when you speak, but you'll find people who with even a tiny amount of effort (a birthday gift, a card, a meme sent, a message or a gif) you can hold onto. People who mean the world to you even though you only see them a could times a year.

I once heard the phrase that friends are like stars, even when you don't see them, they're still there.

Friendships that truly mean something aren't like sitcoms or movies. Life is more complicated and people are too, don't feel bad if your friendships don't match up to what you expect, or if you can't be there all the time.

All things considered, I'm a pretty shit friend sometimes, I forget birthdays and I'm useless to get hold of sometimes. But on either side of friendships that I have, we both make enough of an effort that they're still there.

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow with a friend I've had since I was 11 (or 13 depending how we've decided to measure it that day) and I haven't seen in person in nearly a year. We're still going to have a great time.

Your friendship takes whatever form works for you, don't lose sight of the people you love cos the way you love them doens’t look like 'it's supposed to'

I genuinely hope that when I reach the later years in my life that I’m still here writing fic, sharing stories, and indulging in my hobbies because age is truly just a number at the end of the day. I’m 25 now, 26 is right around the corner. 4 more years till the ‘big’ 30 and yet, every time I write and share a story on here, I feel a piece of my inner child being healed.

That’s what it’s all about, right? Human connection? Creating art? Expression? Who cares how you do it, as long as it makes you happy.

do you ever just sit there and think: “if I fall out of your radar, will you ever miss me?”

or am I just having a wild friday night.

“I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water. The ocean makes me feel really small, and it puts my whole life into perspective. It reminds me; ‘Ok I’m this very little piece of this huge earth,’ and.. it humbles you, and it grounds you, and it make me feel almost like I’ve been baptized and that I’m born again when I get out of the ocean.” — Beyoncé ੈ☆

I'm mad at myself. I went out to buy some necessities, forgot all about what I needed and came home with this.

He's cute, but I'm still out of tampons!

It can be "fate" for people to be together, but it may not be "fate" for it to be forever.... and that can still be beautiful.

Love does not have to be forever in order for it to be real.

My whole life the past five years was me in a state of confusion that life didn’t end when I graduated from undergrad and had to figure out the rest of life.

Fast Food For Thought...(13 April 2024)

"Too many people are looking for the right person and not being the right person."

I was looking through some of my older posts on here from 2019 and came across that quote I had reposted.

As I thought about it, the more I realized that while I may have reposted that, I didn't remember it and take it to heart.

I have been too preoccupied with looking for the right person and not being that "right person". Your personality is really who you attract and I may not have been attracting the right people as of late.

Try being the best person you can be first. Once you do that, the "right" person will find you.

I've known this all along, maybe I should start putting it into practice.

I would give you all the oranges in the world. So you could squish your thumbs in the middle, let the smell explode in your whole house and as you taste the love the earth made for you - because oranges are grown for you alone. You might see how your love explodes and expands so everyone can smell it and they're all looking around and asking, "who is eating an orange in here?"

Anyone else mourn the lost part of themselves sometimes. The possibilities, the reflections of souls we never speak to again. I think I'm sadder then I allow myself to realize.

This drug shortage is awful 9/6/2023

I went to the apothecary just now to ask for the anxiety tea he sells. He told me that he hasn't had the time to make any. I asked if he would have some soon. He said he hasn't had the chance to gather all the supplies.

But, he assured me, I could always do it myself. It isn't hard, he said.

So, here I am at 8 pm getting ready to go out to the store to get a batch of dried chamomile and then straight to the bay to scrape two tablespoons of oozing fluid from comes off the abandoned, dilapidated hut that's been sitting out there for a century.

I have homework to finish! I have poetry to analyze! Do I look like I have time to go to the hut with my little rinsed-out jam jar? No. I have stuff to do.
