“her skin was so pale that she’d always been teased for it. she was beautiful, even in the midst of battle when the blood splatter only made her more beautiful. she was probably so beautiful because her skin was, again, so very pale. cannot stress enough how white she was. she was young, like 26. she will never be older than 26. her height was shorter than her male lover interest, but not dwarf short. never dwarf short. she was like five foot two, short enough to be teased about it but god not enough that we were getting out of the realm of the conventionally attractive. her weight was skinny.”
if you find bones in the forest, sit a bit and listen. they are old and have some good stories to tell. maybe they’ll teach you a spell or two, or explain where the water on our planet came from.
if you find bones by the ocean, run. don’t look back. run, faster, faster. the sea may love you but there are nights where she knows neither mercy nor science, and the bones warn you only once.
boi if you find bones call the police i hate this website so much
this is a piece of creative writing, in case you couldn’t tell from the fact that real bones don’t usually go hey lil’ mama lemme whisper bony secrets in your ear or warn you of the incoming tides like a calcified weather frog.
“Money can’t buy you happiness” is propaganda from rich people to convince the poor to be satisfied with less.
Delicious, finally some good fucking food.
they’ve actually studied this, and there is a measurable point up to which money basically does buy happiness, and then past that point it stops
a billionaire is not guaranteed to be any happier than a millionaire, but both those people are almost guaranteed to be happier than someone living in poverty
(the “point” turns out to be “the time at which you have enough money that all your needs can be met without anxiety and you have some amount of money left over to do things like pursue passions, give back to the community, and do other emotionally fulfilling things.” what a shocker!)
Money buys security, free time, disposable income for leisure products, service, foods, and events.
So yes…it does actually buy happiness. It incidentally also purchases health care, and fulfill the hierarchy of needs which tend to contribute to most people’s ill health due to stress levels…
