The In Between

The time in between is beautiful. There is late night talk and early morning quiet, her tired giggles and his sleepy yawns. Secret truths and disguised fears follow dreams, hopes, and sparkling tears. His honeyed whispers sooth her aching bones. Her velvety sigh sends him dreaming. Both linger before goodbye, and hesitate before hanging up. It feels like enough. He knows her bravery, she knows her vulnerability. She knows his passion, he knows his doubt. He yearns to be enough. She curses she is too much. Both fear the future, both fear themselves. Somehow their insecurities seem muddled in the in beteen. The in between is terminal, though the beauty will last for as long as they allow it to.

No one ever teaches you how to mourn your health. You just realize one day that it’s gone, and you are not the same as you were before. Most days, it’s all right, but then something happens: you can’t go to dinner with your family because you’re nauseous, you can’t go hiking because fatigue and pain. You can’t you can’t you can’t, and then it hits you: you are irreversibly changed.

Late night salty snack, prepared for a night of no sleep before apartment shopping with my sweet engaged friends.

I just realized I’ve survived everything I’ve ever encountered in life. I have a 100% survival rate. I’m fucking nailing it.

Men are always talking about what’s “natural” but in nature it’s always the males of the species that have to be pretty or work really hard to get the females.

I want to see more men dressing up and wearing makeup. Dance for me. Build me a fucking house. Impress me, you mediocre fucks.

“But you look fine” “You look perfectly normal” then thanks it means I’m doing a good job hiding it and maybe I’ll eventually /feel/ normal too

i like to lie and say its because i think i look cute but i know i don’t.

I’ve never had the vocabulary to describe to myself why I do this until now, thank you
