Beginnings Tumblr Quotes

Sometimes, there comes a time when the universe just wants you to find all the love that you deserve inside the saddest parts of you. It is there where your healing will begin.

True love begins when you accept yourself in your totality. Then, and only then, can you completely love another.

Juvenalius, 15 and gay, has been raised in a difficult family and has been held in his aunt's Diana suffocating iron grip for all of his life. He has been made to feel worthless and ashamed; with no freedom, only obedience. Yet this begins to change one day when he meets a boy named Davis at his high school who has drawn the meaningful letter 'C' on his right hand. Now Juvenalius has hope but his behavioral changes are seen as an act of defiance in his aunt's eyes until she catches Juvenalius and Davis kissing out back under the school's library windows. Then Juve's life is unexpectedly transformed.

In the beginning, there was the internet: the physical infrastructure of wires and servers that lets computers, and the people in front of them, talk to each other. The U.S. government’s Arpanet sent its first message in 1969, but the web as we know it today didn’t emerge until 1991, when HTML and URLs made it possible for users to navigate between static pages. Consider this the read-only web, or Web1. In the early 2000s, things started to change. For one, the internet was becoming more interactive; it was an era of user-generated content, or the read/write web. Social media was a key feature of Web2 (or Web 2.0, as you may know it), and Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr came to define the experience of being online. YouTube, Wikipedia, and Google, along with the ability to comment on content, expanded our ability to watch, learn, search, and communicate. The Web2 era has also been one of centralization. Network effects and economies of scale have led to clear winners, and those companies (many of which I mentioned above) have produced mind-boggling wealth for themselves and their shareholders by scraping users’ data and selling targeted ads against it. This has allowed services to be offered for “free,” though users initially didn’t understand the implications of that bargain. Web2 also created new ways for regular people to make money, such as through the sharing economy and the sometimes-lucrative job of being an influencer.

The weird thing about growing apart from friends is that you can never fully be rid of them. I don't think once about the girl I promised to never lose contact with for weeks at a time but whenever I see a certain book series I'll think about how much she loved it. I haven't talked to my old friends from camp in months but I'll never not like their pictures when they come up on my feed, and I'll never not like the friends themselves either. And it stings a bit when a boy I used to talk to for hours doesn't say hi to me when I see him in the cafeteria but whenever I see a supermarket cake I'll remember the time in middle school when I brought one to school for his birthday and he ate three slices and told me it was the best cake he'd ever had. You can pull away from friends but never fully break apart. The process of growing apart has a beginning but never an end

As you open to love, you can begin the process of defining your intentions for your dating life.
