the Ides of March grows near

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

this post was up for like five minutes and already im being told how wrong i am

fuck you, you can kiss my 30 year old ass

You know what? I needed to read this today

I was 15 when I tried killing myself. Twice. After those failed attempts, I held in my head and heart that I would not live past 22. I knew it. I knew that my life would end when I was 22. It was a belief so steadfast and concrete that I had literally written my will in my computer. I was in so much pain inside that I couldn't fathom living a day past 22 years old.

I turned 41 recently. I have white hairs. I wept with joy when I had my first white hair at 39. 22 is so far away from me and it gets further away from me still. I am in a loving marriage, living with three cats, I make art and write stories, I have orchids that bloom and bloom and bloom.

Celebrate growing older. It's more interesting than the alternative.

hi

Shout out to what might be the funniest status effect in any game

boop !

hi gorgeous

i'll be real, i dont think we learned anything at all. it seems the takeaway is "clown on the ceo" and not "learn about the signs and tactics for how and why trans women get targeted and innoculate yourself against them. sit and think about how You Yourself might be perpetuating that culture".

its been less than a week and i've ALREADY seen a post going around trying to paint another trans girl as pedophilic and everyone in the comments immediately throwing up their hands believing it and no one but her close friends even Beginning to question it before reblogging. we've learned nothing
