Happy National Coming Out Day!
National Coming Out Day, 1988 Keith Haring
there’s something really cute about how girls have a habit of trying to make anything difficult into a pleasant experience. like my new roommates just planned to get together to discuss contracts, but immediately suggested we do it with movies and nail-painting and chocolate. my friends and i used to dress up and do fun makeup for our exams. whenever my mom took me to doctors appointments when i was a kid, she’d brush my hair and put it up with lots of cute clips. girls are always trying to make things softer, or reduce the everyday stress in life. it’s such a nice way to be.
The human life span is much too short to figure anything out. – Michael Lipsey
“i spent all my teenage years being obsessed with beauty. i’m very resentful about it and i’m very angry. i had so much intelligence and energy and drive and instead of using that to study more, instead of pursuing something, instead of going out and learning about the world, changing the world, i directed all that fire inward and burnt myself up and tried to make myself beautiful and perfect.”

My Heart Is With You And I Love You Always Always Always, Tracey Emin, 2006
Remember in Lady Bird when that woman says “don’t you think they’re the same thing? Love and paying attention?”
Learning to love in a healthy way. One that’s not rooted in neediness or emptiness or manipulation. We are taught that love has to have conditions. I’m realizing love isn’t about conditions, it’s about boundaries. That there are different ways to love a person fully but still recognize that their inability to accept my love means i have to have parameters for that love. I can love someone and pray for them, and have no communication with them. I can love a person and be kind to them, while understanding they cannot love me back like i love them, and create that boundary to prevent myself from getting too close to that person because not everyone is privileged to have that kind of Intimacy with me.
all those ‘say no to drugs’ assemblies in school where WACK i never once had the pot head kids push the Devils Lettuce on me. they’d be like ‘hey u wanna smoke some of this here Blunt of Marajoouana?’ and i’d be like ‘no thanks i dont smoke’ and they’d be like ‘ok cool’ and never bother me about it again
drinkers? NO CHILL AT ALL. even into adulthood people act like i’ve slain their child when i say i am completely sober. like every single time i’ve said no to drinking some person is like ‘what about jello shots there’s barely any in it’ or they’ll leave me a solo cup of wine ‘in case you change your mind’ and when by the end of the night i haven’t had it they’re all ‘you didn’t want any?’ LIKE? YAH I SAID I DIDNT?
anti drug psa’s are fine but they gotta talk about drinking too bc never once did anyone i know who did drugs push me to do it too but everyone i tell i am sober tries to find a way to get me to drink like i said ‘i am sober but change my mind’ or smth
your interpretation of me isnt who i am
