Mental Masturbation

-No proper transportation/ it was too far away

-Work or social responsibilities prevented you

-You’re not out for any number of reasons

-It was discouraged by family

-A chronic illness or disability prevented you

-Generally inaccessibility of celebrations

-You wouldn’t feel comfortable due to part of your identity (could be race or where you fit into the LGBTQ umbrella or other)

-You wouldn’t feel safe for the above reasons or any other

-You didn’t want to/couldn’t for any other reason

-Hell, you were just too lazy

LGBT people can be in messy relationships where there is screaming, crying, and angry nights. 

LGBT people can hate their exes and be in toxic and/or abusive relationships. 

LGBT people are people. 

Having a messy breakup, hating your ex, etc. isn’t some “hetero bullshit uwu”. It’s people bullshit. People can get angry, petty, jealous, etc. and LGBT people are no different. 

We are human. We make mistakes. Our lives aren’t perfect. Our relationships are not always perfect. 

Remember, no matter what you are going through, you don’t have to go through it alone. There are resources available to help you.
