"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”

― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women


I twist my dull gold ring

And bounce my shaky right knee

I can never decide from the wide variety

I mess with my loose hoodie string

Or repeat counting up to three

That is what you do when you have anxiety

"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't to search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead." - BoJack Horseman

thank you for this, it is truly amazing to see other people experience things that people point out to me.

“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess that means we're just products of whoever made us and we don't have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn't an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”
― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

I understand how you feel. I wear a lizard ring in which I've broken off both arms now because I fiddle with it. I hope your able to find that point in the world where you have peace and harmony. Until then, this is TheRareBreed, Aka Allastor, signing off.
