At the end of my date/meet up on Thursday, I walked them to their car. When we got to the car, we hugged and then we had a small kiss. So simple and yet I can’t seem to chill out lol they are too pretty and my insecurities are sprouting left and right. Whatever happens though, I am so happy about the moment when their perfect lips touched mine. They are so warm and sweet. I can’t tell if they like me back but they agreed to go out to dinner soon.

In the midst of that amazing time in my life came the worst, and that was when my friends just started dropping dead. They were sick today and dead tomorrow. And when you would go to the hospital to look for you friend they would be out in the hallway on a gurney pushed up against a wall dying for help, dying for love, dying to be saved. And some of them with that sign on their gurney that said "do not touch". And they suffered, and people wanted to act like they weren't good people, kind people, wonderful people, somebody's son, somebody's daughter, somebody. // SHERYL LEE RALPH receiving the Human Rights Campaign's National Ally for Equality Award 2022.

Oh that two year gap on my resume was when I was the architect of my own hell

Live tumbling my “date” bc I’m so nervous omg also too many people in real life on other stuff. She’s here and she’s cute and nice, I’m terrified 🫡

Sometimes moving forward looks like an old fashioned in some bar. I really hope I’m not stood up lol

Even if you see it coming, being blocked is just such a blow. She used to say no matter what happened she wanted me in her life but I guess that’s just something people say.

I’m really sad and all I can do is be sad until it slowly fades away. I loved her more than I’ve ever loved anyone before. Where do I put that? Where does it go now?

I fell apart when I found out. I’ve fallen apart. I’m tired of picking myself up but there’s really nothing else to do.
