I want you all to keep this in mind!

"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????

very fucked up that you can try insanely hard your whole life to make all the right choices and yet you can’t escape bad outcomes. like what the flip

the phantom of the opera and the hunchback of notre dame? opposite ends of same spectrum 

This is exactly what I thought when I began to watch P-Valley. Their presence in their respective shows makes them so much better, and I love to imagine them meet and both be sassy, and kind, and uniquely themselves together.

"I don't want to be a burden" By asking for help and support, you are giving me the opportunity to show up for you, to be loving, to connect, to put to good use the skills I learned in being a human, that's all a gift. If you feel safe enough to be a bit vulnerable with me, that's a fucking compliment. Can't wait for the next time you will give me the chance to be there for you.

“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually

Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
