In Jamaican folklore, the River Mumma is a Water spirit who protects the rivers. The fish are her children. It’s said that if you find her belongings—such as a gold comb or jewellery—on the river bank, you should leave them where they are, or else!

"The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light."

every single night my brain is just

“you’re hot, cupcake” “my hero” “what about us?” “so what’ll it be, man or woman?” “go back to that big, shiny house of yours and just... forget me” “but you’re so sweet, like a cupcake” “it’s been real, cupcake” “oil and water, wasn’t meant to be” “easy easy easy” “i can tell, you have a good heart” “let her go. i brought her here, it’s me you want” “she risked everything to show me what life is really like down there” “i paid your girlfriend a visit this morning”

on a constant loop

realizing that i was attracted to women was very easy. realizing that i wasn’t attracted to men was very difficult.
