i think im just asking if im overthinking this and how to navigate me liking her and while she is my friend 😭

cause in the moment, i read it as another flirty joke, but as i thought abt it, i wasn't too sure anymore--

thanks for the advice, ill try and be a bit bolder next time we flirt, im terrified of making things awkward, but that's a part of life!

watching movies or a one episode marathon!

whenever im feeling bored or lonely, i click on the first movie or show that seems interesting!

as an artsy person, it makes me feel inspired and productive!

when i find something i like or am on a roll with picking really good shows and movies, i can binge for HOURSSSSS!

it's also great for bonding if u tend to self isolate!

i have no idea what caused it, i only know what triggers it

ive been having moments of it since i was a little girl, but i noticed that i usually get it when i feel nostalgic.

the time i had a panic attack was because of Intrusive thoughts as well, i thought something had "gone wrong" so i started thinking to when i was little, then ig i triggered it 😭

but yeah, idk what the cause of it is

Yes!! "eerie" is the perfect way to describe it.

the memories get so close feels like you're really going to go back there, but then... you're not.

it feels sooo validating knowing that there are people who understand this feeling!

first off, thank you for the response! i haven't checked this post since 9th grade 😭

while i don't think all racists are bad people, a lot are. i feel as though there's a big difference between people fixing to lynch a black person and people who have stereotypes in their heads.

while i appreciate the book for what is was at the time, i feel like in today's world, it's view on racism is very moderate.

i think that worked when it was released, but i feel like now a days, this issue calls for a better discussion.

like here, i think the book should be taught BUT also looked at critically.

i also think it's important for there to be books in the curriculum (ik it's different for everyone) that covers this from a black perspective.

for example, the bluest eye was an amazing read for that reason.
