Women don’t “suddenly” get angry about things while on their period, they were always mad about them and extreme discomfort makes the things seem even more irritating.

[im-secretly-an-owl]

communication is so extremely necessary to mutual love, trust, & understanding. don’t always hide your feelings in order to please someone else. be open, honest, and patient. constantly concealing things in order to make someone else feel better will only stunt growth and trust in the long run.

The only time you should ever care about someone else’s sexual orientation is if you want to have sex with them.

y’all: bisexuals are fake bc they usually end up in m/f relationships

me, an intellectual: it’s easier and statistically more likely to find a straight person who is attracted to you and compatible with you than to find a lgb+ person who is, especially in small towns. not to mention the fact that a big part of lg community won’t date us, because they are biphobic. also a huge number of bis are nb, so m/f rhetoric doesn’t even fit us. also. there is nothing wrong with bis being in a m/f relationship if it’s healthy. also. stop being biphobic it’s 2017 when will this stop

There was crisp, dry snow under his feet and more snow lying on the branches of the trees. Overhead there was pale blue sky, the sort of sky one sees on a fine winter day in the morning. Straight ahead of him he saw between the tree-trunks the sun, just rising, very red and clear. Everything was perfectly still, as if he were the only living creature in that country. There was not even a robin or a squirrel among the trees, and the wood stretched as far as he could see in every direction. He shivered. 

He now remembered that he had been looking for Lucy; and also how unpleasant he had been to her about her “imaginary country” which now turned out not to have been imaginary at all. He thought that she must be somewhere quite close and so he shouted, “Lucy! Lucy! I’m here too-Edmund.”

There was no answer.

“She’s angry about all the things I’ve been saying lately,” thought Edmund. And though he did not like to admit that he had been wrong, he also did not much like being alone in this strange, cold, quiet place; so he shouted again…

my doggo being obsessed w her chewtoy

[im-secretly-an-owl]

jesus fkn christ why is this still a thing he sent me a gigantic apology text about all the shit he did and how much of an asshole he was and then in person told me he regtetted everything and hated himself for who he was and told me he loves me and that I'm the most incredible person he's ever met and that us getting back together would be a dream coming true and he cried *a lot* and said he missed me and hugging me and holding my hand and i hugged him bc i didn't want him to cry and he held me tighter than anyone ever has and i must say i'm considering it, in spite of not being sure if ppl can truly change after learning a lesson and actually regretting smth i'll probably stop this thread after this tho, i know no one cares but i just wanted to get this off my chest

OK YOU GUYS I REALLY NEED HELP

so, I’m crushing kinda hard on a good friend of mine (17, M) and i for real want to tell him, but idk how pleeeeease i need some advice, message me, send me ask, literally anything I’m so anxious (btw I’m going to play d&d with him and his mates for the first time tomorrow and dk if there’ll be an opportunity to tell him, but it’d be great to get this off my chest as soon as possible)

[im-secretly-an-owl]
