The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.
Grief is love’s souvenir. It’s our proof that we once loved. Grief is the receipt we wave in the air that says to the world: Look! Love was once mine. I love well. Here is my proof that I paid the price.
She guessed my favorite color first try… but between me & you… I didn’t even have a favorite color until she yelled out yellow! She was smiling like a little kid. So i told her she was right and I haven’t seen yellow the same way since, its in everything. I could live in it now
Ever had a girl fall asleep on you? On purpose? Best feeling. Suddenly, my body is no longer disgusting – it’s a comfort. I am no longer a predator – I am her safe harbor, her watchdog, her pillow. Something safe and strong.
Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
It’s taboo to admit that you’re lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. Ha ha. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more & more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it.

Unrequited love may be painful, but it is safely painful, because it does not involve inflicting damage on anyone but oneself, a private pain that is as bittersweet as it is self-induced.

I’m always soft for you, that’s the problem. You could come knocking on my door five years from now and I would open my arms wider and say “come here, it’s been too long, it felt like home with you.”

I ask you to please believe me when I tell you that you are beautiful and intelligent, and I have been more fond of you than I should be for longer than I care to admit. I share secrets with you that I have never told anyone, because I knew you would not use them against me.

Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against “losing control” – of her temper, of her appetite, of her feelings, of her mind.
You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable.

I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.

I just think goodness is more interesting. Evil is constant. You can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. But you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good – and that’s complicated.

Are you here? Are you always here? I miss you. I think about you all the time. I hear your voice say my name when I dream and when I wake up, there are tears streaming down my face. I just miss you, it’s as simple as that. I want to tell you everything.
I long for you; I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.

( distraught, disappointed, and a little bit devastated tbh! affy's been such a joyful project to curate & tend to over the last 2ish years. ill miss it a lot. fuck you elon!!!!!!! )
They kiss – deep, yes, but gentle, not let's-fuck-right-here kissing or gotta-go-see-you-later kissing. The kind of kiss you give someone you suspect might be around for a while.
It is entirely okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shall be a boy.” But it must also be okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, so I shall set about changing what it means to be a girl,” and, yes, okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shan’t.”

Adult female. Died of starvation. Her baby died first, and she knew what that meant. She knew she was one of the last. She grieved the loss of her child. She called for other mammoths, but she was alone; her family had all died earlier. Then she died too. It was very cold…

I’m not used to people caring whether I live or die. It’s easier to view your concern as a misguided overreaction than to accept that my existence means something to someone, let alone someone as good as you.
You love so many people, and they can’t help but love you back. I know it’s not the same. I know it hurts to know the love you want isn’t the love you’re getting. But trust me when I say you will never be alone. Even if it hurts, even if you’re scared, you won’t be alone.

I fell in love with you then. I knew you would not reciprocate, not completely, and I did not need you to. I was happy. But I do need you to stay alive. Please just stay with me.
