The constant theme of ‘not gay enough’ from the homophobes in heartstoppers really spoke to me.

People don’t realize the harm ‘no way *blank* is gay’ holds. My entire queer experience has been me fighting the battle of feeling queer enough.

Everyone in my life gets to treat me like shit

[sureside]

I can’t get high because of you.

It always reminds me of you.

What irony.

Numbing my brain but I still feel the pain anyway.

I realize what I did to you.

How I hurt you.

I miss you.

I’m mad.

I can’t believe.

Sorry.

“Relationships take work”

Some things “relationships take work” should mean:

It takes work to learn to identify, effectively communicate, and mesh your needs/wants with those of another person

It takes work to actively listen and learn the other person’s communication styles as well as their needs and wants.

It takes work to maintain a relationship by planning activities together and investing in time spent together

Some things “relationships take work” should never mean:

Relationships take an exhausting cycle of constantly fighting and making up

Relationships require you to compromise your core values or change core aspects of who you are

Relationships take conforming to the other person’s expectations even when you don’t want to

Relationships take constantly proving to the other person that you deserve respect and/or love

Relationships require you to try to make yourself feel and want things you don’t actually feel or want - or at least pretend you do

Simple truisms like “relationships take work” can be misused in harmful ways.

Relationships do take work, but that work is supposed to be a team effort to support and care for each other while still honouring your own needs and desires.

If your relationship isn’t a healthy partnership, don’t feel like you have to stick it out just because “relationships take work.”

You are not obligated to stay in any relationship you do not want.

A person becomes 10 times attractive not by their looks but by their acts of kindness, love, respect, honesty and loyalty they show.

A challenge I propose to the world is to try approaching the world as if you aren’t important. I think there are too many people who think what they have to say is so mighty and world changing. I personally think people who go through life with the ‘I’m really important’ mentality, grow this weird, untameable self-image. This self image allows them to think that what they do and want in the world has a mass affect on others and how others act. When in reality most things people do in life are product of self interest. I mean our bare purpose in life is to survive, protect ourselves, look-out for ourselves. I just feel it’s super hard to interact with people who think so high of themselves, because in result they act as if most others are just that much below them.
