Say You'll See Me Again

GRIS is such a beautiful game. I'm always going to be in love with this piece of art.

The game helped me through a tough time and I think now, with the state of the world this game could be a source of comfort and calm to anyone whose having trouble.

no fucking way

the aliens are going to have questions about our world that absolutely no one will ever be able to answer

As the great philosopher Uncle Iroh said: "If you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see."

Actually life is about waking up everyday and reminding yourself that " There is good in this world even if I can't see it. There is good no matter what happens because bad, good and neutral all exist together. There is good in the world but its just so hidden by the bad and the neutral that it's become impossible to see it but if I look hard enough, if I look into the darkness, I can find scattered lights everywhere, lighting the way. There's good in this world and there will always be good in the world. I just need to look harder." No matter what, even if you don't believe it fully. Because just acknowledging that fact helps

the creators of Ted Lasso really said we’re going to make a football show using every rom-com trope and beat not about an actual romantic pairing but rather to tell a story about grown ups becoming better people through love, openness, mutual support, and therapy.

Solving conflict, not like a compromise or a "let's forget about this and move on", but really understanding why the other said or did what they said or did, and them understanding you, and both of you feeling closer and trusting the other more afterwards is one fucking amazing human experience.

I have a friend with whom I had a very sudden and painful conflict and she went no contact for 4 years, then she came back and asked to talk it out, and now it has been 10 years and how we solved this conflict got us so much closer.

But sometimes, there are some conflicts that will never get solved, some apologies we'll never get to make. Somewhere, someone is telling a story about what a dick you were, to a new friend, over a drink.

And I learned that it is ok. Conflict solving requires both parties being willing to try, the right timing, and sometimes some special communication and empathy skills. It cannot always work.

But when it does, and I get to understand myself and someone I love so much better thanks to it, it makes me so happy. I also trust people more after having even a minor conflict with them and see how we both handle it.

I'm grateful for all the conflicts that made me grow and feel loved and fought for afterward.

holy shit y’all should watch this one, what an admirable person

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth

Not Mine. Thought to Share.

Definitely! As a sex worker I can relate to his relationship with his client Eddie. It is clear he does it for the money and is not into him, but he also has empathy for him and cares. I felt like that many times in my job. And indeed it is nice to see a show where a character being a sex worker is just one of the multiple sides of them, not their entire shown personality. I wish we would have more characters in shows who are casually doing sex work on the side:)

I think Lafayette in True Blood was the first unashamed sex worker character I ever saw on TV. He was a multi-faceted character, confident and unapologetic about his sexuality and his work, and I've never seen anything like it since.

He gets a lot of appreciation for being witty and beautiful and unapologetically gay and standing up for himself, and his character is wonderful for all of those things, but I also want to appreciate him for being a sex worker who wasn't 1-dimensional.
