you and me in bed and im covering you in kisses until you're giggling and warm
I want motherfucking magic in life. I want romance. I want peace. I want beauty and softness. I want love and warmth.
date someone who will sit down and sayĀ āletās fix thisā instead of being a child and ignoring you.
When weāre new to adulthood, it doesnāt immediately occur to all of us that youāre almost always allowed to leave a situation, because growing up weāre forced to stay in situations until someone dismisses us and/or takes us home, or if we do leave on our own accord thereās someone waiting at home to say āwe donāt quit in this family!ā Boring party? You can leave. You donāt like the lecture? You can walk out. New doctor not working out? You can end the appointment, you donāt need to wait for them to dismiss you. Bad date? You can just go home. Leaving a situation prematurely might have consequences, but unless youāre under arrest or serving prison time, itās pretty much always allowed.

A while back, I called for a Lyft ride home from the airport. The lyft pulled up, he called my name, and I opened the door and climbed in. While I was climbing in he was getting out, which I didnāt realize until he opened the back door on the other side.
Him: Iāll put your bag in the trunk. Me: Oh, thereās no need.Ā Him: Iāll just put it back there.Ā Me: I prefer to keep my bag with me.
I was also still holding onto it so he couldnāt just grab it, and when I saidĀ āI prefer to keep it with meā this cloud of rage crossed his face.
Him: Then get out.Ā Me: Excuse me? Him: Get out, I donāt want your bag fucking up my upholstery.
Now, this was a weekender ā essentially an upscale duffle bag. Small, almost brand new, easily fitting on the middle-seat beside me. I donāt know if he was just really intense about his upholstery or if he was running some kind of scam, but either way I now DEFINITELY was not going to let him separate me from my bag.
So I saidĀ āOkay,ā and I picked up my bag and got out, took out my phone, and cancelled him as my driver.
He looked at me like Iād grown a second head. There was this moment of total disconnect in his face, and then he started ranting about how someone had damaged his upholstery and they needed to put their bags in the back and he wasnāt going to have me getting his upholstery dirty.Ā
I said,Ā āIām out of your car. Drive on, Iāll get another,ā and held up my phone.
This had clearly never happened before ā it looked like plenty of people had thought āThis guy is crazyā but went the āso Iād better let him do what he wantsā route instead of āso Iām getting out of his carā. Which is totally normal! Weāre socialized to prioritize ānot making a sceneā over personal safety. But when you do call that bluff, when you defy the social convention that the other person is counting on to make you do what they want you to do, they donāt know how to react, which gives you time for a clean getaway. And maybe he thought I was a dickhead but what do I care what an asshole thinks of me?Ā
Anyway the moral of the story is yes, you should know that you can almost always leave a situation and often itās in your best interest to do so.Ā
(Right after I called for another car he picked up a fare using Quick Match or whatever itās called, peeled out of the Lyft lane, and hit another car well nigh immediately.)
[ID: The Benefits of walking away. (Illustration of the back of a person walking away. ) 1. Makes bad things disappear quickly. 2. Gives everyone optimal view of your back. 3. Answers question, āI wonder what would happen if I just walked awayā]
Be so fucking proud of yourself for passing the hardest moments alone while everyone believed you were fine.
āI will be stronger than my sadness.ā

a heart that understands you.
a heart that loves you.
a heart that wants you.
a heart that heals you.
[When youāre ready, begin again]
Everybody talks about cutting ppl off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing itās not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being.
literally grief.
