listen….. ladies…… my advice to you is, do not agonize over the specific percentages of your attraction to women, men, and variously presenting nonbinary people……… do not agonize over whether your attraction is “real” or “just comphet.”
become ruthlessly joy-sensitive. get in touch with your own experiences of embodied desire and pleasure, in particular moments as they arise, not as hypothetical states. find ways to safely experiment! you do not need a label to be fulfilled. just kiss people in real life and get off the internet.
The most unrealistic thing in sky high wasn’t even that super powers and superheros exist….it was that Layla chose Will Stronghold over WARREN FUCKING PEACE
an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.
