Something I've Been Thinking About A Lot Lately

The worst part of being in a relationship in high school is craving the domesticity that comes with living together but knowing it won’t be possible for years because you’re in high school.

genetics exam making my bag of topsoil look awfully tasty

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Things every child needs to hear:

i will love you the same no matter who you fall in love with, or who you’re attracted to (including if you never fall in love, or aren’t attracted to anyone)

i will love you the same no matter what name & pronouns you use, and how you dress & present yourself to the world. i will use whatever name & language makes you comfortable. 

i will trust you to discover who you are, and i will support your discoveries.

i will love you the same, and i will try to understand the life that makes you happy, and the things you tell me. and when i do not understand i will keep trying, and i will support you all the same. 

it is not your job to be the person i want, it is my job to help you be the happiest version of the person you are.

The answer is all of the above.

I don’t have a lot of ambitions in life but one thing on my bucket list is to marry a cactus

I have no intention of getting for real married to anyone, and I really love the desert, so for the last couple years I’ve just been obsessed by the idea of going out into the Arizona desert and doing wedding photos with a saguaro

I’ve done my research on cactus law and cactus safety. I do not intend to touch the cactus. I merely wish to stand by the cactus or photoshop myself near the cactus in a way that heavily implies the cactus to be my spiky green gay husband, so I can hang it in a discreet area of my home and stare at wistfully whenever a guest or family member or whatever talks about settling down. Something I can keep in my wallet at work that I can whip out when people ask about the ring on my finger

Again, I have done the planning. There is a wedding dress in my closet. I have a Pinterest board for this. I have spoken with a potential photographer. I just need to get to Arizona
