its funny when events that probably couldve been traumatic dont bother you so you’ll end up casually dropping stuff like “so after that time i almost got lost at sea as a kid-” and theyll be like WHAT and youre like. oh yeah dont worry its just part of my lore. its honestly not even a top five interesting backstory moment. focus please.
Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”
Me: *doing something for hours on end without stopping*
Someone: Hey, are you there? I was just wondering if you’d like to-
Me:
For every single person in the notes going “yeah” or “same” or something like that…
You know for the first 18-ish years of your life everyone your age is mostly doing the same things and then all of a sudden every year for the rest of your life somebody your age is getting divorced while somebody else just learned what a leaf is and you have no idea what’s going on or what you’re supposed to be doing
I love the phrase “they get along like a house on fire”. It’s perfect. You and me have perfect chemistry and it’s setting off the carbon monoxide detectors. People are calling emergency services to get us to stop being so chummy. Someone died
It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack
gotta love the irony of the u.s. americans in the notes defending not putting their country name on international mail because their state is in the address, on a post about how u.s. americans themselves don’t even know what country all their states are in.
I immigrated from Minnesota, USA to Manitoba, Canada as a preteen, and the kids in my class in Minnesota legitimately asked if my new stepmom lived in an igloo. Like…a lot of Americans do not know things.
I moved from Anchorage, Alaska to Connecticut when I was 14 and regular questions I got included:
-Is Alaska part of Canada? (Alaska is in the US)
-Did we speak English there? (Alaska is in the US)
-Did we have running water or electricity? (Anchorage is a city of nearly 300,000 people)
-Did we live in a house or an igloo? (Anchorage is a city of nearly 300,000 people)
-Why did I insist Alaska was cold when it was down near Mexico? (This is because Alaska, in maps of the US, is down in a small box on the bottom left side, because in order to include it in a map of the US where it actually is they’d have to include Canada. This also led to confusion about Alaska’s size because that box was in a different scale).
idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that’s why I’m here.
