shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.
you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.
when taylor swift said ‘who could ever leave me, darling? but who could stay?’ and when phoebe bridgers said ‘i get this feeling whenever i feel good that it’ll be the last time’ and when lorde said ‘they say, you’re a little much for me, you’re a liability’ and when maisie peters said ‘got the news just last month that i am exhausting and you’re not in love’ and when gracie abrams said ‘every time i get too close, i just mess it up’ and when lizzy mcalpine said ‘how do i tell you that i don’t know what it means to be happy with somebody?’ and when boygenius said ‘i don’t know why i am the way i am’ and
