Happy 9th Anniversary Undertale!!!

happy 9th anniversary undertale!!!

my favorite quotes from the perks of being a wallflower

“we accept the love we think we deserve.”

“so, this is my life. and i want you to know that i am both happy and sad and i’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”

“things change. and friends leave. life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

“and in that moment, i swear we were infinite.”

“there’s nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.”

“i would die for you. but i won’t live for you.”

“so, i guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we’ll never know most of them. but even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them.”

“i think that if i ever have kids, and they are upset, i won’t tell them that people are starving in china or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. and even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have.”

“i am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.”

“it’s just that i don’t want to be somebody’s crush. if somebody likes me, i want them to like the real me, not what they think i am. and i don’t want them to carry it around inside. i want them to show me, so i can feel it too.”

“it’s strange because sometimes, i read a book, and i think i am the people in the book.”

“i don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. that you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. or just not exist. or just not be aware that you do exist. or something like that. i think wanting that is very morbid, but i want it when i get like this. that’s why i’m trying not to think. i just want it all to stop spinning.”

“this moment will just be another story someday.”

“enjoy it. because it’s happening.”

“she wasn’t bitter. she was sad, though. but it was a hopeful kind of sad. the kind of sad that just takes time.”

“you see things. you keep quiet about them. and you understand.”

“we didn’t talk about anything heavy or light. we were just there together. and that was enough”

“and i guess I realized at that moment that i really did love her. because there was nothing to gain, and that didn’t matter.”

“i just want you to know that you’re very special. and the only reason i’m telling you is that i don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

“just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense.”

“it was the kind of kiss that made me know that i was never so happy in my whole life.”

This First Thing I Thought When I Woke Up From Surgery Was I Am So Hungry And I Need Ramen Right Now!

This first thing I thought when I woke up from surgery was I am so hungry and I need ramen right now! but the second thing I thought was Oh my god, I'm safe.

I was safe.

I thought about having kids someday, but the thought was always divorced from the concept of having to grow them in my body. Whenever I thought about it, I would either start screaming or my mind would shut down. My worst nightmares featured discovering I was pregnant, and realizing I would have to keep it, and go through childbirth. I was terrified.

I got the surgery, and realized I was safe, and I never had those nightmares ever again. It was like finding out I was bulletproof.

Later, I looked at the broken condom, and I didn't see my life flash before my eyes. I didn't see my hopes and dreams turn to ash as I pivoted all my energy into a child I didn't want. I didn't see a possibility of starvation or homelessness because my already modest income went to a child I couldn't afford. I didn't see my disabled body becoming further disabled, or killed, by a pregnancy that I didn't want.
