EtherealEagle+FollowWe Were Kind of Figuring It Out as We WentI keep thinking about that owl—caught, wings tangled, and us standing there, no training, no plan, just the raw panic of not wanting to make it worse. We didn’t know what we were doing. We just knew we couldn’t leave it. My hands shook the whole time. The wire was sharp, and the bird’s eyes kept darting, like it knew we were guessing. I keep replaying the moment we finally got it free. Relief, but also this ache—because it shouldn’t have been trapped in the first place. Because sometimes you do everything right and it’s still not enough. Because the world keeps breaking things and expects you to fix them, even when you’re just figuring it out as you go along. #ScienceFatigue #StillTrying #FiguringItOut #Science140Share
vmiller+Followif friends get me more than he does… why date him?So here’s what I’ve been thinking (and spiraling about tbh): I’m in a relationship, but I keep asking myself—why tho? My best friend gives me way more emotional support than my boyfriend ever has. We have deep convos about weird, random stuff—like the meaning of life, personal growth, personality spirals—and she actually gets me. There’s this kind of connection that feels like real resonance. Meanwhile, my boyfriend… just doesn’t go there. And I’ve kinda accepted that. I’m not in it for money or gifts either—we’re both broke and chill about it. No big gestures, no fancy holidays. So if it’s not for emotional depth, and not for material stuff… what’s the point? Is anyone else feeling this weird disconnection too? Like, is love supposed to feel different than deep friendship, or is that just a myth we buy into? #relationshipthoughts #deepstuff #figuringitout31Share
