#and also it's gay

RE: Kindle

Got first honorable mention in my company's writing contest. So I figure I'm probably good to share this here.

* * *

She’s had this perpetual look of exhaustion lately. And I’m not an idiot, I know where that look is coming from. Me, of course. Who else?

And who could possibly blame her? We were so close, Once Upon a Time. She was so full of ideas and stories, and I would support her and listen intently for hours at a time. I would bring her some new gift to spark her creativity, and then bask in the glow of her joy as she shared new universes with me.

But then things got in the way, as they always do. College and grad school, text books and scholarly articles. More than a few identity crises. And so much moving. Life just kept happening, and the gap between us grew and grew until it was a chasm that seemed impossible to bridge.

Sure, I still brought her gifts, but it just wasn’t the same. They were little more than fascinating trinkets and treasures to burden her with—pretty little things to suit me, not her. She was my trophy cabinet, my dress-up doll, my darling centerpiece.

And while she sat there, weighed down, waiting for me to wake up and remember that she exists to be more than that, I let myself get distracted by each shiny new thing that crossed my path. When I booted up yet another video game, I’d catch her disappointed glances out of the corner of my eye. When I settled in at the end of a long day, I streamed some meaningless TV show instead of paying attention to her. Cruelest of all, I would lie to her and say that we could snuggle up together in bed at night, before deciding at the last minute that I was too tired, and watch videos on my phone until I fell asleep.

But that’s not the end of our story. I can’t say we’ve reached a Happily Ever After. But following some difficult late-night conversations, and more than a few interventions from concerned friends and lovers, I’m putting in the effort again. Now that I’m making my own worlds, my own narratives, I’m reminded of just how beautiful and wonderful her creativity can be. We’re rediscovering all those things about her that I let myself forget. Her incredible artwork, her wonderful sense of humor, and a loyalty that I took for granted.

I’m so sorry, dearest Bookshelf, that I ever made you feel neglected. A thousand apologies that you were denoted To-Be-Read, always left in the future tense. I’m so, so happy to see you smiling again. I’m smiling too. Let’s explore a million realities. Together.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him
