On the third day of pride, I just want to remind you that it is not shameful to be in the closet. Not this month. Not any month. 
It’s shameful that people have scared you with their words and actions to the point that you need to hide who you are. 
It’s shameful that people are outed against their will by people who they trust. It’s shameful that people are outed by strangers who are just assholes. It’s shameful that people are forced to come out because they’re manipulated by people who can’t respect boundaries. 
The closet is stressful and tiring and can feel suffocating and alienating. I don’t know of a single queer who has enjoyed the experience of being closeted.
But it’s not shameful to protect yourself. it’s not shameful to make the best decisions for you that keep you safe until you can find a better, more open, more joyous place. 
And you can still have joy in the closet. You are as queer in that closet as you are outside of it, and I’d rather you stay safe in it until it’s safe for you outside of it.
To all my closeted queers: I love you. I see you. Pride is for you, too.

There's a wandering note, slinking through the air Pausing at every ear, to whisper its little despair Who are you? Love, it says I've believed it far too long
I tell it to hush, gently, so it doesn't flee It's been a victim just as much as me Who are you? Love, I say Would never sing that song
The note pauses then, settles, leans Heavier on my shoulder than it's ever been Who are you? Love, it says Sounding less sure every time
I understand, I lay my cheek on its notehead We watch the others, the clamour overfed Who are you? Love, I say Would never sound that chime
And so we wait, together, that note and I Until a silence lays over the cries Who are you? Love, I ask But there is no reply
I look to my side, the note has faded away The lightness at my shoulder, the quiet of the day Who are you? Love, I see And at last I close my eyes. Asmi
It's past 2 in the morning and I've had a tiring day emotionally, and I was staring at all the sad good omens headcanons, and I decided to write a love poem. Well, kind of. A comforting one, I hope. Because I want to remember that love isn't the tears, it's the handkerchief slipped into your hand, it's not the cause of the heartache, but the easing of the pain.
So, to end Valentine's day, as it were... Here's a reminder that love can be painful but in the end, a healthy relationship of any kind is when it's you against the world, not each other. When the comfort is more than the ache.
Have a lovely day or night, my maggots. We love Aziraphale and Crowley's story because they are each other's comfort and safe space. Because even when there is pain, their kindness exceeds it. I hope the people in your life are like that, too. You deserve it. Please know that you deserve respect. You deserve kindness.
I love you.

this is important
listen to me. It is not your responsibility to make everyone happy. It is not your responsibility to please everyone. It is not your responsibility to stay in a position you hate because ‘no one else will do it’.
it is not your fault that someone else can’t get their shit together. It is not your fault that someone else didn’t have a backup plan. It is not your fault that leaving will upset them.
you do not deserve to be yelled at. You do not deserve to be told cruel things. You do not deserve abuse.
if you made a commitment, then fulfill that commitment and leave. If you made a promise, keep that promise and leave. if leaving is imperative, fuck that commitment and fuck that promise.
your mental health is the most important thing. Your safety should be your top priority.
You will disappoint some people, and make some people unhappy, that’s just part of life. You shouldn’t try to please everyone
But if you disappoint yourself and make yourself unhappy due to someone else’s stupid decisions, leave.
Surround yourself with people who love you and who treat you with respect.
you deserve love
you deserve respect
and above all, no one has the RIGHT to damage your mental and physical health.
I love you

"She is divine in her femininity, like the stars she is so hot yet so far away from everyone and everything.. she is brave like a lioness fending off intruders from her cubs, she is a beautiful mother of nature and she deserves respect."
How could you not fall in love with such a goddess - eUë

shoutout to all of my fellow sex-repulsed aces. it’s okay if you don’t experience any sexual attraction and don’t want to have sex. it’s okay if you do experience sexual attraction and don’t want to have sex. it’s okay if you like the idea of sex but you never want to actually participate in it. it’s okay to step away from a conversation or avoid subjects that are too sexual for your comfort. it’s okay if you’re sex-repulsed one day and more sex-neutral or sex-positive the other. you deserve to be treated with as much respect as any other ace person and any other person in general.
it’s okay to navigate relationships in a way that’s comfortable for you, whether they’re sexual, romantic, platonic, queer-platonic, unlabeled, or any other kind. you are allowed to be comfortable and you’re allowed to set boundaries with people for your own comfort, whether it’s about sex or anything else. you do not have to prove yourself in any way. you are valid, valued and seen and I promise that you’re not alone. you deserve the world

If people don't like you because you stand up for yourself when somebody is being racist/transphobic/sexist/ableist/etc and you call them out, instead of being silent to "fit in", then you shouldn't like them. At all.

Sometimes
it's not the person who changes,
it's the mask that falls off.

If civility is a one-way street, it may be time to stop trying with that person. This is not to say you should treat them worse; just recognize that you'd be better off cutting ties altogether. As much as it might hurt to leave some things unresolved, if they truly want the same closure you want, they will reach out in a non-combative manner. Let your patience, kindness, and willingness to let go give you peace of mind.

Do not feel guilty or ashamed if you have cut a toxic parent or family member out of your life.

I wish someone had told younger me that your boobs don’t need to fit any certain ideal to be loved.
Your boobs will be loved even when they hang cause that shit is heavy and gravity is a real thing. Your boobs will be loved if they’re little. Your boobs will be loved if you have big areolas or not. Your boobs will be loved if you love to show off cleavage, and your boobs will be loved if you choose to wear a turtleneck. Your boobs will be loved even if one is bigger than the other…twins can be fraternal. Your boobs will be loved if they are decorated with jewelry or if their only holes are milk ducts. Your boobs will be loved if they are fake and ultra perky. Your boobs will be loved if they’re natural.
And anyone who makes you feel otherwise can stfu. They don’t deserve your glorious, soft, delicious, playful, tender, orgasmic titties.
