in persian culture when someone calls you beautiful, a common reply is “it is your eyes that are beautiful” meaning you must hone beauty in yourself to be able to recognize it in others. everything is a mirror
i used to chronically avoid things i didn’t want to face until i realized that lingering in that anxious energy is so much worse than just doing something head on and getting over with it
what someone says about me reveals little about me but so much about their inner world, people treat you like a mirror it’s fascinating to see the things they share unknowingly
my favourite thing is telling people “i can tell” when they say anything like “i’m gluten intolerant” “i can tell” “i studied graphic design” “i can tell” really keeps people on their toes

i agree and also this is libel (posting something someone never said that ruins their reputation) n the person who posted this can definitely get sued for it
i love men who have a horrible digital presence… terrible angles, less than 300 followers, last post in august 2018. yes babe keep it up there’s only room for one ig baddie in this relationship
i asked the man at the dep how he was doing and i can assure you the last thing i thought that this russian man in his late 40s would say was “me? i shine bright like a diamond😁”
i love persians bc this old man came into my work and i asked him how he was doing in farsi and he said “now that i’ve been graced by the star-like beauty of your presence my day has been filled with light”
ever since i posted this i’ve learned that variations of this saying exist all throughout the world. moments of overlap like this are so beautiful bc it shows how there’s something that transcends culture, core truths that unite all of us. i love humans

before u praise iran’s gov for smtg they did out of the self-serving attempt of saving their current failing regime, maybe remember that this same gov is killing its own people everyday and that the iranian people are actively trying to overthrow these ppl and liberate themselves
what do you buy a 26 year old man for his birthday in today’s economy? what do they want? so far my research has lead to legos, minecraft gift cards and amaretto sours
this isn’t even a joke the first time i got high in high school i went to the subway had an italian bmt and was mesmerized by the wall art staring at the enlarged vegetable prints for 30 minutes feeling the soul of every tomato, cucumber and piece of lettuce in that establishment
i just sold this drawing of afro samurai, & i’m taking commissions now (pay what u can as long as it’s reasonable) so if u could retweet esp if ur in montreal i would really appreciate it, my next client could be on your timeline 💓💓
spotify wrapped’s data could never be nuanced enough to truly express the complexity of the human soul…. it fails to acknowledge that a hyperfixation on a song and repeating it 83 times in a day doesn’t make it your favourite it was just one of those thursdays…..
just gave myself the lord farqaad 3000……. humbling truly im being forced to forgo beauty and aesthetics and live a life of modesty until this grows out
hot take i feel like this is a very individualistic and self serving way to look at relationships, love isn’t about staying when it’s convenient for you imo it’s about commitment and strength
