Why was Shrek’s soundtrack so incredible like who sat down and decided that a movie about an ogre would have a beautiful Rufus Wainwright ballad followed by a Smash Mouth/Eddie Murphy cover of I’m A Believer and how can I thank them

I should be allowed into every museum's archives actually

every day i wonder why i'm not living in a dark castle with secret passageways and rooms filled with books

all i do is sit and think about imaginary but extremely detailed romantic scenarios

“I am too young and I’ve loved you too much.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky / The Brothers Karamazov

girls learn to watch themselves in third person so they can constantly fix their laugh and smile and hair and dancing and speech in hopes they can transform into a different person that someone will love and girls fear that if anyone sees them in their most candid self then they will be deemed unlovable and I’m so exhausted from practicing my smile in the mirror but girls also know that the ability to be loved is synonymous with their worth

"You are so quiet" bro i daydream 80% of my time

your level of education means nothing if you never learned any compassion

ok but what about secret academia - always sit in the back of the class - never seen after class is done - dress in blacks and greys - always introduce yourself with a different backstory - joining secret clubs with aliases - desiring to learn forbidden knowledge - use a lot of metaphors and proverbs - can sometimes be found in the obscure corner of the library - have a symbol you use instead of your name

you shouldn’t be afraid to be proud of yourself. you can take a step back and say “i did that really well” or “that looks good” or “it’s not as difficult as i thought it would be”. acknowledging your little victories as you go isn’t the same as settling for less.
