Happy pride month everyone!
happy valentine's day, everyone! đź’š i'm on the left (he/she) and my wonderful girlfriend is on the right, in the beanie (she/they). it's lesbian time! we're going out on a date to see the sonic movie together! it's perfect for a lovingly cursed couple like us. her name is zoe, and she's the most loving, respectful, generous, gorgeous, patient, kind, talented, perfect person in the world, and i owe her so much. she's helping me so much on my path to recovery, and i'm doing my best to show her as much love as she shows me. we might be an odd couple, but two years ago, i was celebrating today with a toxic abusive ex who i thought i loved. but today, i know, this is what true love is. it's hard work, but the pain is nowhere to be found. my girlfriend doesn't have a tumblr, but i wanted to make this post to show my love for her to the world, as well as to give you guys a positive message:
if you're in a relationship you're not genuinely happy in or that you feel stuck in, get out and take time to heal. because i guarantee that you'll find someone, even if you're not looking, even if you're an oblivious bastard who doesn't notice the cute girl in theatre has been staring at you every time you do your solo for months. even if only 1% of the world thinks you're beautiful and kind, that's still 75 million people.
and for my arom/not interested/questioning friends, you've already found someone! you've found yourself, and you better take that person out on a fantastic, self-caring date today.
i love you all, no matter what you identify as or where you come from. and i hope you all have a fantastic valentine's day! đź’š
Delayed development is an unfortunate side effect of socialized closeting in the gay community. We don’t get to be proud of our own experiences so we hide them or avoid them until we feel safe. And no, you are not missing out!
Being gay often comes with doing a lot of things later than everyone else. Having your first kiss later than everyone else, having your first relationship later than everyone else, and all the things that we missed in middle school or high school we scramble to catch up on as adults. But doing things such as going on a date for the first time in your late teens or your twenties, or hell, even your thirties, does not make those experiences any less important or worth any less than if you had done them earlier. Do not be ashamed of “missing out” on common middle or high school experiences. You still have a long life to live, and plenty of time to make up for it.
