Tonight, Your Heart Is Beating So Loud.

im sentimental. i sleep a lot. sometimes i cry a little on public transport. when my friends tell me they love me, i feel as though my heart will burst. i take pictures of nice dogs i see on the street. i notice the changing of the seasons, and i get excited. i like fresh fruit. little things make me happy, and i hope i stay this way.

"soft" butches who respect your boundaries, show you tenderness, protect you, and want to take care of you are just simply butches!!! there is nothing inherently "soft butch" (i.e. "less butch") in butches doing these things for their lovers! in fact, these things is what makes butches butch!!!!

the contrast is insane

relevant to my interests

this is actually the primary reason me and my ex broke up. as an only child I’m very used to being alone and he didn’t grow up that way so it reqlly bothered him. whenever I wanted alone time he worried that that really meant I wanted time with other people and I’m just like what????? people need space. period. a relationship is not a contract for ownership. your partner is a whole person with their own shit before, after, and during your relationship.

Can we please also establish that wanting to spend time with people other than your partner without them there is totally legitimate and doesn’t mean you are cheating or love them any less

imma keep it real with you chief. sometimes university workloads are just fucking unreasonable and unfeasible unless you’re not mentally ill or you’re someone who’s able to be On™ and productive 24/7 (which is like.. no one??) and no amount of “you need to learn time management skills because this is what it’s like in the real world” is gonna change that

me ? a romantic ? mayhaps . hopeless ? exhaustively

Turns out, 2000 was 20 years ago. Which is odd, since 1980 was also.
