I keep seeing a post going around about how disappointing it is that bi characters in media date a girl but then end up with a guy at the end of the show/movie/whatever and tbh it makes me v. uncomfortable?

I mean sure, it’d be great to have more f/f relationships in media, but a lot of real bi girls /do/ end up with guys and they deserve better than to be told relationships that reflect theirs are the “disappointing” option

Intimacy is not who you let touch you. Intimacy is who you text at 3am about your dreams and fears. Intimacy is giving someone your attention, when ten other people are asking for it. Intimacy is the person always in the back of your mind, no matter how distracted you are.

The number of guys on okcupid who say "oh you're cute, but I'm too short for you" is distressing. And depressing. Also, let me be the judge!

Why I created this blog. So used to this. & If you think like this, you can eat my ass right after I eat a big Soul Food meal.

Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.’

A reminder that your pain is important simply because it is yours.

13 quotes that prove the Golden Girls were geniuses ahead of their time

Consisting solely of a cast above age 50, the sitcom about friendship, love, triumph, and tragedy was light-years ahead of its time — especially since it celebrated age and its corresponding wisdom instead of playing them down.

I’m at a party of lesbians, I’m there with my lover, everyone obviously assumes I’m a lesbian. What do I do, announce, “Oh by the way, I just want you all to know that I’m really bisexual”?! I suppose it is the same dilenma a bisexual woman whose partner is male has at a heterosexual gathering. How do we come out; how do we show pride and openness for who we are? How do we stop feeling like we’re only showing part of who we are? How do we stop feeling like imposters, like we don’t fit in or belong? How do we stop being invisible?
