I think one of the worst things about being a girl who likes girls is that men always assume you share their male gaze. When I see a pretty girl I’m imagining what it’d be like to hold her hand and kiss her, not hoping a gust of wind blows her skirt up. I don’t plan my outings based on which place has the hottest girls. I don’t find it appropriate to make lewd comments about women. Just because I like girls doesn’t mean I like to disrespect them or prey on them the way you do.

my brother and i frequently share this conversation.

i sat down with the universe and told her i wanted to grow. i told her to use me as a vessel. so she made me uncomfortable. she stripped me of everything i knew. made me learn how to be silent, how to let go, how to move on, how to stand my ground, how to be more understanding, how to fight, how to survive, how to be more assertive, more loving, less naive. she told me to take everything i have learned and share it with others. and so here i am today. uncomfortable, heartbroken, but i am growing so fucking much. i am improving every second. and I have beautiful words to share. i am full of wisdom and my pain only teaches me even more that love is so important. there is no room for bitterness here. i have to keep going no matter what.
