Spent tonight talking to a lovely married lesbian couple who have been together for roughly 10 years. They didn't meet until they were in their late 40s and mid 50s respectively, long after they had both given up on the idea of marriage at all--after decades spent thinking they'd never be able to legally get married, anyway. One of the women saw her wife at a coffeeshop one day, and realized she frequented it around the same time every week. So she went there at that time, every week, just hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Until finally one day they were standing close enough to strike up a conversation. I think these days, there's so much pressure to live your life as quickly as possible. To be kissed by a certain age. To have sex. To fall in love and get married and have kids. The older we get without having done these things, the more worried we become that we'll never do them at all. (And some of us won't, and that will be fine, and we will be happier for it.) But it's nice to be reminded sometimes, that there's no expiration date for falling in love. Maybe you'll find the love of your life on a dating app when you're in your early 20s. And maybe you'll find the love of your life when you think your loving days are over, admiring them from across a coffeeshop, hoping they come say hello.

the fact that people are literally out here saying “all sexualities are fluid!” is mind-boggling to me.
they say that all sexualities are fluid and that nothing is black and white - but that’s just objectively incorrect.
some sexualities are actually just not fluid at all, some of them are black and white - some people are simply just straight or gay, or lesbian. no fluidity there, and that’s fine!
and it’s extremely disrespectful to say stuff like “all sexualities are fluid”, because you’re invalidating the ones of us who aren’t fluid.
i’m a lesbian, NOT queer, NOT bisexual or pansexual, NOT fluid - i’m only into women, and that’s that. but according to their logic, i’m wrong about myself. no. stop it.
your sexuality might be fluid, and that’s fine too, but do not ever try to tell me or any gay man or lesbian or even straight person, that our sexualities are also “fluid”. because they’re not.

The smell of the woman you’re in love with.
Her natural smell, something that attracts you so much to her and that nobody else seems to catch because obviously it’s how pheromones work. And if that’s not pheromones then it’s something very similar to it.
Whether she’s your crush, your girlfriend or your wife, it’s just that personal smell of hers that make you want to be closer, to hug her and kiss and love her just the way she deserves.
A woman loving that smell in another woman she’s in love with. ❤️
