every morning I brush the blood out of my teeth and wait for the sun to rise. I look in the mirror and I refuse to hold my own hand. I embrace the parts of me that I cannot love but that doesn’t make it any easier to carry it around with me. I’ve survived everything the world has thrown at me. I survived. but grief is a snake that’s slowly tightening its grip around my throat.

— Hannah Green, from “The Morning After.”

I love spontaneous sex. Like when you’re just watching tv and chatting and then you lean over to kiss her cheek but she kisses you back and pulls off your top and then she’s on top of you and whoops sexy times.
