If I was a flower you’d better believe I would stay underground until winter ended. They don’t even have COATS.
I love this person.
I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your...

Oh my, life sure is weird.
My heart has been taking pretty consistent...
I just said this in a message to someone. I hadn’t realized it. It all suddenly makes so much sense. My feelings are justified. Marc, Jeff, Chris, Kinsey, the nameless others… It’s been rough for awhile. And I hadn’t quite put it together. For TWO YEARS. I’m bruised.
It’s been better lately. I miss the aching sometimes, in a twisted way, but mostly I’ve...

pseudoflaneur:
Unlike fiction, where narratives always have a purpose or a reason or a hidden meaning, sort of like a machine, real life is just random.
I could be here worrying my health away that I did this and that and the other person does this and that and so this means X, Y, or Z, but no. It doesn’t mean…

Things I won't say to all my exes
1. I’m glad you unblocked me. That feels nice. Like you exist again. Though blocking me in the first place was juvenile.
2. I would like another ambush. I still won’t call.
3. I’m sad I won’t get to say goodbye before you go. I really hope I see you again someday. It would be too weird for a never again.
4. You shouldn’t let her treat you that way. I hope...
Stop degrading the act of sex by calling it ‘opening your legs.’
I’m so sick...
– flowersarebetterthanbullets on This Post (I made this a quote, because the original picture with text was visually offensive. These pro-life people need to take a graphic design class.)
Truth. Also, it’s not like opening your legs alone is enough to get pregnant. I mean think about that. Just...
