i want to lay down next to you and run my fingers softly through your hair as you fall asleep

ok but like shout out to all my girls with skin conditions like eczema or acne or keratosis pilaris, etc. society paints such a false picture of women as having perfectly clear and soft skin and like….that ain’t true. so many of us have bumps and scars and dryness and redness and no matter what we do it won’t go away. but yall are perfect okay like believe me i still don’t love my skin but its so Wrong that we hate ourselves so much for something so trivial. you’re beautiful okay and so is your skin i love u.

concept: we’re cuddling, and you’re getting sleepy. you give me the look, the one that always makes me melt. i can see the stars in your eyes. we fall asleep, and all is well.

One time I kissed my girlfriend while we were out and a little girl looked at us with such amazement like

“That’s an option?!?!”

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:

“you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you”

next years mood is love, same as always

if I’m not sitting in pretty lingerie with a glass of champagne in a foreign place in the next 5 years I’ve failed

walking thru the streets late at night would be so Good and calming if I wasn’t scared of every man and car I see after 8pm

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.

So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.

*sends roses to myself*

my feelings are hurting my feelings
