“Are you disappointed that it’s me?”
“No.”
- Love, Simon.
this still hits hard
Okay listen if you are a baby queer and you don't feel loved, supported, or validated: you are the very precious grandchildren of the Stonewall rioters, the bright children of hope after the AIDS epidemic. You are the little siblings of ex-gay therapy survivors. You were fought for, and wanted, and loved. Everyone who came before you is so very happy that you are here.
Happy One Year Anniversary, “Love, Simon” (Released March 16th 2018)
I feel like a universal young queer experience is knowing that you'll never actually get to be your true self until you're out of your parents house, everything before then is an extremely watered down version of yourself. And your parents think they know everything about you but you really have a whole other personality and they know absolutely nothing about you, or only what you want them to know. It even applies to your beliefs, religious or political.

Can we please sit together and create? I want to make you mushroom earrings and weave flower crowns while you make ladybug tattoos on my hands with sketchpens. Let's giggle and play around while sitting on a checkered picnic mat. You can cut up fresh oranges and I will take out a dozen chocolates from my backpack. Oh please, let's sit together and create.
11 year old me, very much a baby sapphic but high on compulsory heterosexuality: i just think it’s so sweet that ginny and luna were such good friends in harry potter. like luna was always talking about how nice ginny was and ginny stopped some boys who were picking on luna. like imagine being this nerdy kid and then your friend who happened to be a boss female athlete stops people from making fun of you. wish that was me. imagine them having sleepovers and braiding each others hair and always listening to and appreciating each other and giving each other hugs and luna painting a picture of the two of them bc that girl is an artist and ginny being so touched and hanging it in her room next to the pictures of gwenog jones. just two gals being the best of pals. plus ginny’s a redhead and girls with red hair are soooooooooooo pretty, wish my mom would let me dye my hair red so i could achieve that level of prettiness.
suck down and run, clown
okay but THIS hits differently
i’m a good person i don’t deserve to be mistaken for a heterosexual
