WE GET THIS. ON SCREEN. IM NOT OKAY.

my father hands me a book he’s just read and tells me he thinks i’ll enjoy it, and i think that is love and my friend sends me a picture of a crystal spoon she found in a charity shop and tells me she thought i’d appreciate it, and i think that is love and my mother tells me she wants to take me vintage shopping around cities and i know it is because she thinks i’d enjoy it, and i think that is love and i suppose what i’m trying to say is that being loved is being known.

when i say my love languages are physical affection and gift giving, i mean that i will buy you a million things with no occasion at all except that i love you. i mean that i will keep every trinket you give me until the end of time, every scrap of paper with a doodle on it, every flower dried out and kept on my bookshelf, every pretty rock. i mean that every waking moment i think about being in your arms. that every night i fall asleep dreaming of being curled up against you. that there is no moment in which i would not gladly bury my face in your neck and stroke your hair and lace our fingers together and fiddle with the cuffs of your sleeves. that i am happiest holding something you gave me, and being held by you. that i am happiest pressing a token of my love into your hands, and then wrapping my arms around your torso. it means that i want nothing more than to spend my life with you, around you, tucked against you, surrounded by things that aren’t just mine but ours, filling your life with reminders of me. it means i want to see you with every turn of my head, i want to feel you always, i never want to go a day without holding something you’ve held, never want to go a day without touching your life even just for a little. it means i want to hold you impossibly closer forever. it means i want things that hold parts of you that can stay with me even when you’re not. it means i never want to be without you

the bond between transgender people and lesbians is so fucking strong. it’s earth shattering. it’s monumental!! sacred!!

[pearlesc3nt]

i made you a necklace with a seashell i saw that reminded me of you, if you’d like it.

this is my declaration of love. please be gentle with it.

Two Women in a Bed Disturbed by a Cat

by Jean Alphonse Roehn (1799-1834)

[pearlesc3nt]

I don't "struggle with same-sex attraction" I'm actually very good at it, mom

[pearlesc3nt]

I have 99 problems and all 99 of them would be solved if I had a girlfriend

[pearlesc3nt]

isn’t that what it’s all about? building a home?

#building a home #healing #safety #soft #poetry

[pearlesc3nt]

the main thing that keeps me alive is the thought of a future where i could have a home. perhaps a cottage, perhaps an apartment, just large enough to house me, my cats and perhaps a lover and i could fill it with all the trinkets my heart desires and plants would climb the walls and there would be a story behind every porcelain figure and coffee mug and i wouldn’t have to worry about what others thought because it would only be mine, and it would be warm, and it would be soft, and it would be safe.
