I know not when the beauty of this story - my story - is supposed to take shape. Is it when I am bone tired and withering away looking back on it all and realizing there had been so much beauty? Or will it be tomorrow when I wake? Or if not tomorrow, the day after that? There seems to be too much ache and sorrow for any true beauty.

The year is 1995, congress member Bernie Sanders stands in opposition of a homophobic statement said by Duke Cunningham. Cunningham derisively refers to “homos in the military” to support his argument while (strangely) discussing the Clean Water Act. Sanders, having none of it, quickly rises to the defense of thousands of men and women everywhere. Sanders ire is such that he repeatedly disrespects the Chairman by speaking over him in order to say his piece. [Video Source]

What does this say for Sanders? Well, that’s for you to decide. But to me, it says that for 20+ years strong he has shown his public support for LGBT+ persons everywhere, even in the face of ridicule and disrespect. Unlike some, Sanders has always been vocal about his beliefs concerning the LGBT+ community, and he has always held them. Key word always, and not just when doing so might garner him support for his campaigns.

There’s no story here. I let you flirt with me because I’m lonely. I let the dinner party go on as long as I can and then I pull the tablecloth out from underneath us until I’m the only dish that hasn’t fallen to the floor. I don’t think I have it in me, the fairy tale you’re talking about. The one where I call you back and sound like the princess, all hopeless and helpless in love. Most times I’m satisfied with just being wanted, because I’m still my own and you still can’t stand it and God, it tastes good, the air on the way back to my place, alone as ever. Give me a feeling. Any feeling. I’ll chew it up and spit out something pretty, tie the tenderness with my tongue and hand the cherry stem to you, all mangled and gorgeous. I talk so much for someone who has nothing to say. Yeah, I’m full of it. Yeah, I’ve already thought about fucking you in every single place we’ve walked by and no, I’m not gonna do anything about it. But I will call you at 3 in the morning and kiss you until you’re sure something else is going to happen, then I’ll say goodnight, belly full of satisfied. I’m actually vicious. A sliver of me is stone and that’s the only place I let you touch because it’s the only place that won’t remember you. So, okay, maybe there’s a story here. Maybe it’s not the one I thought it was, but at least it’s something.

I don’t want to be worth your time.

I want to be worth mine.

self love is the move // c.r.

[theycallmeshay]

did I miss you all this time? was I busy chasing fireflies because they lit up sometimes? was I busy running from flashing light to flashing light because they were warm? was I busy trying to make myself feel better because you were too far away or because I knew I wasn't happy enough for you? was I too busy or was I too sad? was I sad when I went through the motions every day? was I sad when I ignored your calls that one summer? was I sad when I found out you were dedicating your life to our country? was I sad when I realized I wouldn't have you to hold? or was I sad for a million other reasons already? yeah, that's it. I was sad already. you just didn't help, but I want to help you now.

I’m sorry I didn’t let you help me // c.r.

FINE LINE - HARRY STYLES ; favourite lyrics

*:･ﾟ✧ art must be shared!

| 𝑔𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑛 |

• I know you were way too bright for me. I'm hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky

• I know that you're scared because hearts get broken

• Lovin' you's the antidote

| 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑔𝑎𝑟 |

• Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin' and it sounds just like a song

• Baby, you're the end of June

| 𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 |

• Strawberry lipstick state of mind. I get so lost inside your eyes, would you believe it?

• You don't have to say you love me, you don't have to say nothing, you don't have to say you're mine

• Honey, I'd walk through fire for you. Just let me adore you

• You're wonder under summer sky

| 𝑙𝑖𝑔𝘩𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑝 |

• It'd be so sweet if things just stayed the same

• All the lights couldn't put out the dark runnin' through my heart

• Shine, step into the light. Shine, so bright sometimes. Shine, I'm not ever going back

| 𝑐𝘩𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑦 |

• I, I confess I can tell that you are at your best. I'm selfish so I'm hating it. I noticed that there's a piece of you in how I dress. Take it as a compliment

| 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 |

• I'm in my bed and you're not here and there's no one to blame but the drink and my wandering hands. Forget what I said, it's not what I meant and I can't take it back, I can't unpack the baggage you left

• What am I now? What am I now? What if I'm someone I don't want around? I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm fallin'. What if I'm down? What if I'm out? What if I'm someone you won't talk about? I'm falling again, I'm falling again, I'm fallin'

• You said you care and you missed me too and I'm well aware I write too many songs about you

• It kills me 'cause I know we've ran out of things we can say

• And I get the feeling that you'll never need me again

| 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑠𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑦 |

• I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch who can’t admit when he's sorry

• Don't call me "baby" again, it's hard for me to go home and be so lonely

• Do you think it's easy being of the jealous kind? 'Cause I miss the shape of your lips. You'll win, it's just a trick and this is it, so I'm sorry

| 𝑠𝘩𝑒 |

• She lives in daydreams with me

| 𝑠𝑢𝑛𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑣𝑜𝑙. 𝟨 |

• Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

• Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

• Your flowers just died, plant new seeds in the melody. Let me inside, I wanna get to know you

| 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛 |

• Sky never looked so blue

• Staring at the ceiling, two weeks and I'll be home. Carry the feeling, through Paris all through Rome and I'm still thinking back to the time under the canyon moon

| 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 |

• Maybe, we can find a place to feel good and we can treat people with kindness

• I've got a good feeling. I'm just takin' it all in

• Giving second chances, I don't need all the answers. Feeling good in my skin, I just keep on dancin'

| fine line |

• Put a price on emotion, I'm looking for something to buy. You've got my devotion but man, I can hate you sometimes

• Test of my patience, there's things that we'll never know. You sunshine, you temptress

• We'll be a fine line. We'll be alright

[theycallmeshay]

I am absolutely terrified that the time we spent together wasn't enough to matter to you. It mattered to me. I improved my standards - learned to know who was actually worth my time. There's this terror that holds onto me because what if the person I am now isn't worth anyone's time but my own. What if I worked so hard on myself for myself that I didn't think about anyone else?

There are so many things that are TOP quality about this. The business with the mic rope. The bounding across the stage like an excited puppy or a newsie. The Voice™️ that is so synonymous with John, you know, the voice of a guy who sells ice cream at the soda fountain in the 50’s. The analogy itself.

It’s all so beautiful, such peak humor and content.
