Thank you for showing me and so many others that it is possible to grow up to be a happy and healthy lesbian.
You are welcome and no matter how many times i read or hear this sentiment it never grows old and always fuels my energy to keep on doing what I do best. Being me and sharing stories.

Good: told my bestie I'm a lesbian
Good: bestie says she's a lesbian too
Good: bestie agrees to me telling ppl she's my girlfriend
Good: bestie enthusiastically agrees to monetizing our relationship (OF/Fansli content forthcoming)

Bad: can't go bc my body hurts too much today
Good: bestie invites me to sunset beach picnic

Life Lately
the days have been full of present moments and sheer boredom..perhaps I should write something...or pick up a new crush. speaking of, I'm dealing with an identity crisis and unable to process it. what does one do when they figure out they're a lesbian?? maybe nothing is just the answer.
i think i'll partake in gentle acts of anarchy and unlearn pretentiousness as a means to mask. i started reading Unmasking Autism which has been okay. oh and I started a Collaborative zine.
Tumblr media
it's a zine dedicated to suburban kids in SA, and I'm really proud of this design. if anyone from CPT wants to contribute message me!!! i'd love to connect with more unique suburban voices.
also, got new pj's and a journal to house my thoughts, and it's actually crazy how much the right clothes can impact your sleep..i sound like an old lady but it's so real. my heart is filled with pain but the new meds are getting me through it. life is...monotonous. everyday is groundhog day.
anyway, this is my life update. no snapshots of tea in bed or books I've been reading or art I've made(my phone camera is fucked), but if I write something I'll share it perhaps. let's be friends :)
go well all, and thanks for your time to read my weekly rambles
xoxo

Spending time alone can be a wonderful opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. When we take the time to be alone, we can reflect on our thoughts and feelings, pursue our interests, and get to know ourselves better. It's important to remember that being alone doesn't have to be a negative thing. In fact, it can be a chance to learn to enjoy your own company and appreciate all the great qualities that make you unique. So embrace your alone time, and who knows, you might even discover that you're your own best company

I’m having a hard morning. By mistake, I just sent my super religious sister smutty art involving gay demons, and pictures of my girlfriend with me at a pumpkin patch.
I will never get over this

1990 is back!! This was absolutely a dilemma, especially if you were working in a ‘sensitive’ profession aka working with kids. I hid my sexuality for the first few decades of my career, only coming out to select friends after a long vetting process. In the early years it could have gotten me fired, and even after that it could have caused ugly phone calls from parents or even kids pulled from my classes.
Once when I taught at the middle school level, one of my students was angry with me for some middle-school reasons and decided to spread a rumor that I was a lesbian. She had a blog on some extremely early MySpace kind of platform and another teacher found it while cyber-spying on her own kid and brought it to my attention. We had to have meetings with the administrators where I had to say how upset I was about this rumor. Which I was, but not for the reasons they thought. I never had dates, much less a girlfriend, so I always just told people I was single and it worked out fine. Only once did I bump into someone while out and about, but if they see you in a gay bar it means they were in a gay bar too, so it’s mutually assured destruction.
Oh how things have changed. As of this writing, it’s not illegal to be gay in America, and indeed there’s a certain age below which it’s basic and unpopular to not be some form of LGBTetc, so I don’t worry any more. Indeed my daughter’s 6th grade science teacher introduced herself to her class by talking about her wife and kids. “So my girls have two mommies!” She said, to which my child replied “Big deal, I’ve got four!”

If you would have told me a year ago that I would move from Texas to New York with a girl, get dumped but keep living with said girl, and then have multiple dates lined up with other girls. I would have thought you were on crack.

You don't have to respond to this, I know you get so many asks! I just wanted to thank you for sending out kindness and warmth to lesbians and the LGBT community in general. It's incredibly inspiring to see someone so nice like you live the way you do, out and comfortable, and just being the best "you" you can be. I imagine many of us in the community aspire to build a quiet, comfortable, and happy life the way you have. Thank you again so much for sharing some of your time and care with the world! I wish you nothing but the best.
I am way behind and falling more behind every day but farm work is slower now that shorter days are here. I am doing my best to play catch up.
My life is chaotic and busy with so much fun interwoven between my home life and my jobs that even when there is stress I have happy distractions.
When I was coming out and enjoying the mentorship of older lesbians, many who are still in my life, I had no idea I would some day be so public and visible in the world. It suits my personality and I am glad the perfect alightment of my life, sexuality, skills , personal drive to make a difference and the internet all came to exist togeher at the same time.
My dad once told my mom when she worried about the way I would be treated as a lesbian "This is Jippy (my nickname) we are talking about. She is going to be JUST fine!" He had no idea he was so right.
Thank you for letting me know I make a difference.

Football everywhere and suddenly I'm 17 again. I'm sitting in a room full of sweating males in team shirts that reek of death. They scream, drink beer and eat french fries like pigs. I start to wonder what I'm doing there in that place where I don't like anything. I want to throw up when the guy I forced myself to be with at the time kisses my neck, he asked me if everything was alright. No. I look away and the other girls seems so ok with that reality. I'm out of place. They laugh and I try to hide my discontent face. I just want to escape as soon as possible.
I get up and leave, in the middle of the first half.

Just had the following encounter with a kind stranger
Them: Is that your Mum?
Me: No. She's my wife.
Them: Your wife? Oh! 😊 My granddaughter also decided to have a female partner. 😊😊
Sweetheart... love isn’t a choice 😄💜

HERES THE THING:
i see so so many quotes about love lost or found or romance or heartbreak or relationships or breakups and i just
i cant relate. i cant write about it. i cant reblog it. i have no fucking clue
the childhood and teenage crushes and situationships i had mean absolutely nothing to me as an adult. and nobody i meet now seems someone i could relate to enough to make them such a big part of my life
so, fuck
so, yeah.. i'll just silently like posts and quotes and stories and films that portray love as something real and beautiful and passionate and terrifying life-altering.
but there's nothing more i can do about that. actively seeking out love is pathetic and redundant. so i'll go on living and loving and evolving my life as it is. there are honestly other things to talk about. and i dont even mind. but i do wish there was more of what i need to see online sometimes.
more romanticizing being eternally out of love, but not in a poetically heartbroken-but-in-recovery sort of sense. but as a state that youve lived in from 16 years old and forward.
life is lovely and you can romanticize it without romance (whether of flourishing love or heartbreak) being part of it
it's not that i'm not interested in all that. and i'm not heartbroken, obviously but i'm quite indifferent to it all because of my lack of experience and i really really don't relate at all
