“I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But I’m not gonna get rid of it. But do I want to live as a depressed person who’s afraid of other people and bummed out by the makeup of my personhood? No. So I’ll find a way.”

I basically just repeat the phrases “oh my god”, “holy shit”, and “hell yeah” and that’s the extent of my personality

there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when i say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace

one hard pill to swallow (that i had to learn myself) is that in order to actually learn coping skills and progress with living successfully with your mental illness is that you have to take action. whether that’s going to therapy or removing yourself from toxic enviornments/people, living your life solely for yourself or whatever. you can’t sit around venting forever and expect it will change. theres only so much understanding and patience that others around you will have. sometimes mental illness is a burden on others. it’s a burden when you have access to help and choose not to take it. sometimes it’s exhausting. there’s no magic day where it will all fall together. you have to actively make that magic.

coming out dramatically and redundantly is PEAK gay culture

anyone else think about the sigourney weaver snake venom nail polish scene from holes literally all the goddamn time

Honestly shoutout to The Social Network for giving us the line “you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole” because if that doesn’t epitomize women’s feelings for entitled male nerds I don’t know what does

I know this is a fun tweet and all that but it absolutely is an instance of striaght privilege. Heterosexual people have up to seven years to explore their sexual and romantic attraction in an environment that is designed for them while many queer youth deligate their time in maneuvering their identity in response to themselves and their environment. It’s one of the reasons why dating as a queer adult is so hard: so many of us are romantically undersocialized when compared to our heterosexual peers, who are not only given social liscence to explore themselves, but who have the additional benefit of being able to see themselves in media.

There will always be exceptions to this, of course, but it’s so sad to see how the effects of childhood homophobia haunt us well into our adult years, to the point where it limits our opportunity to connect with other people around us.

The gaydar is a multifunctional tool and the straights not only don’t have it, they also think its only for spotting gay ppl

[pro-gay-deactivated20170112]

Other settings:

- Spotting homophobes before they speak - Spotting gays to avoid - Spotting iconic songs - Spotting the safest and quickest route back home so you don’t get beaten or killed after school & many more

[pro-gay-deactivated20170112]

What the straights have is a cheap imitation which is really downgraded and has only 1 function called “stereotyping”

I don’t care if you’re not a huge fan of stand-up comedy, it should be a requirement that you watch Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette. It’s on Netflix, and it’s amazing.
