@elibloodthirst love you brotha that is meaningful

@elibloodthirst what do you honestly think about our relationship over the years?

Hi honey,

Your leaves started drying out and I didn’t know what to do.

I became worried. I wasn’t going to let you die, but it was possible. I’m new to this.

I told a new friend at work she told me that I needed a pot with a hole in the bottom.

“The roots will rot and the plant will die without a way to release all that water,” she said.

That night, I pulled my parents aside after dinner. I told them everything.

They listened. They offered to help.

My Mom took the pot from my hands,
and my Dad found a new one—with a hole this time.
I let them be rock stars again.

Or maybe they let me be a rock star.
And maybe there were never any rock stars, just rock star people.
I’m better at passing the ball lately too.

I still don’t know if I care about plants all that much,
but I think I’m a little better now at caring for something living.

@Sir__Human cant wait

@Volund appreciate this perspective man, been connecting to nature more myself lately

@octo that was so good dude. "Animals were retarded as hell." is all-time hahaha. also the losing job to AI, living on welfare and getting forced to go to war is bleak as hell

i just took it there at work with an email to HR--they aren't gonna push me around anymore. I'm great at this job and deserve to be here. The way the sunlight is hitting these potatoes is fire.

i always think my art should be a bleeding heart but it's the weekend so im just gonna fart

@Ness absolutely love this, you and I are the same type of delulu

Is anyone else tired of hearing about f***ing Epstein?
I feel like everyone's carrying around a giant shame bubble because everyone expects you to be a "perfect person".
Washing my hands until cuts open up because I don't want to infect anyone else.
Trying to understand my need to be liked and why I'm drawn to people who don't seem as interested (even if they went to Stanford).
I had a dream that I was willing to be seen by someone from my past even though I possibly have a bad reputation. I chose to stop hiding.

@octo that was great. It reminds me of the existential lit ive read but for the modern era. The ending was really thought-provoking

@mbcool fire

I just had a disagreement with my best friend.
I felt scared but I did it anyway.
No one was drunk.
Though I stayed firm, we didn't scream or yell at each other.
I wasn't banished or excommunicated.
I'm proud that I risked being disliked.

i'm in it and i can't get out
