I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.
Also a Thatcher quote, I think? XD creepy, I dig it.
stop wanting. you are whole. detach yourself from the feeling of need. you are enough.
you only feel lonely bc humans evolved as a social species and were never meant to live in social isolation, slaving away day in day out with minimal contact to other people, that is very superficial at best not a single hint of intimacy, like it is the norm now lmfao no one can overwrite that by “detaching”, quite the contrary, detachment is a sign of depression CAUSED by severe social deprivation
I hate tumblr hot takes like that. our society is broken and anti-social and it’s making us SICK. normalizing this and pretending like it’s your personal failure that you can’t deal with something you were never meant to able to deal with bc we didn’t evolve to be alone is absolutely counter productive
This is taking OP out of context, I believe. They weren’t talking about platonic relationships, (again, ‘I believe…’), and there really is a part of us that craves a romantic partner because we want to “be complete.” This is reinforced by a lot of art.
You don’t have to be a hermit to feel like you are enough on your own, and being comfortable on your own does not preclude forming relationships—both platonic and romantic. If anything, it makes it easier to connect with people, IMHO.
