my partner doesn’t understand 99% of technology or the internet but i’ve let him use my instagram a couple times and all that’s really come of it is he’s now obsessed with a specific dog i follow and asks about him like he’s a guy we know
i said this once a long time ago on a different blog during a different time in my life, but i think, tonight, is a good night for it to be said once more:
kindness is an action, not an emotion. you can choose to be kind, you can choose who you gift that kindness to. you can fuel it with anger, you can fuel it with rage, you can fuel it with joy and sorrow and love. it can be awe-inspiring, it can be simple, but i think, in the world we live in, to choose kindness, above all else, is the most radical thing of all.

Your sense of self isn’t a static image, bro. It’s more like a climate or a biome. Both of which can shift in gradual ways over time or suddenly due to internal or external factors. Just check the weather report, man. Don’t try to force the sky to stay blue without clouds 24/7.
