People tend to forget how much they have to give to the world. They retrain themselves with diffidence and too often, a lack of understanding. So they do not share their thoughts and intellection. They never paint that picture, or write that song, or even learn to sing. Some people never truly feel accepted, as if they never truly found their place in the world. If only they would have picked up a pen or practiced a particular skill, perhaps they could have been Picasso.

I just traded my neighbour a jar of raw honey for his parakeet’s corpse.
It is also worth noting that the only reason I have so much raw honey is because I made a dress for a beekeeper’s daughter.
And that I need the parakeet bones to make a necklace for the woman who fixed my antique cello.
And that I got the cello as payment for juggling at a child’s birthday party.
When did my life get this weird?
your life is a fucking sidequest
People always try to avoid awkwardness,but why avoid it? Embrace it, it reminds us that we’re imperfect, it reminds us that we’re real. You should always embrace being real, that’s what people love the most.

When I want to fall in love again, I pick up a book.
