life’s too short to not fill each moment with love. Choose to buy that plant you saw at the shops and nurture it. Choose to take a study break and spend it sketching or day dreaming. Choose to keep that picture you took of you with your s/o for yourself to enjoy instead of watching for the likes coming on social media. Put love into how you do your hair or maybe whack it into a messy bun and put love into creating art. Put love into how you treat others and value all members of society, treating everyone with love and respect. Choose to love yourself as you would others, respecting yourself and loving yourself, especially after failure. Choose love.

i mean this in the nicest way possible you guys but you NEED to take better care of yourselves online. getting severely anxious about mass quantities of horrible things you cant change every single day is normal considering the internet’s ability to educate on worldwide issues, it shows that you have empathy and that you truly do care. but relentless knowledge of constant suffering on this scale is NOT something humans are psychologically equipped to handle. it’s okay to shut off. it’s okay to just take a break and enjoy yourself for a while in your own localized space

i honestly think the reason the most bitter and disgruntled people make sweet and cutesy art while horror writers tend to be upbeat and chipper people is that in order to write good horror you need a certain amount of healing and emotional growth that allows you to access the theraputic techniques used in horror to stimulate fear and to then turn around and present it to others. and on the flipside, there is nothing more heartbreaking and raw than to make art of the joy you wish you could still feel

i know i talk CONSTANTLY about how relatable marcus aurelius is but i love this man so much. not only does he constantly have to encourage himself to get out from under his blankets but he also has to tell himself to put away his books and go DO things….it’s the ancient roman equivalent of yelling at yourself to stop bingewatching shows on netflix and get to work and i love him so very dearly

I mean, yes, a lot of horror media boils down to “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, but let’s not be reductive – there are several distinct subgenres of “wouldn’t it be fucked up?”, including but not limited to:

Proposing a very improbable situation, then gesturing toward it and asking “man, wouldn’t this be fucked up?”  

Wildly exaggerating an everyday state of affairs in order to demonstrate that it was, in fact, always fucked up.  

Taking a thing that it’s broadly agreed is fucked up and making it a different kind of fucked up.  

Inventing a new type of guy, then pointing at the guy and going “this guy is fucked up.”  

Grabbing the audience by the shoulders like, no, man, the fucked up thing is, like, a metaphor. For a different thing. That is also fucked up.  

Taking a genuinely innocuous situation and through some unlikely contrivance rendering it fucked up.  

Making a thing that self-referentially gestures at itself and asks “isn’t it fucked up that this is so fucked up?”  

Framing a fantastical scenario and asking “is this fucked up? why is it fucked up? what does it mean to be fucked up? what is ‘fucked’? what is ‘up’?”
