“Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.”
— Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
I am afraid. Of what? Life without having lived, chiefly.
friendship between lesbians is like nothing else. i don’t know how to explain it. i don’t know how to explain the immediate connection i have with any lesbian, no matter how brief the interaction. there aren’t words for it. it’s more than solidarity. it’s more than family. the immense strength it takes to just exist as a lesbian and then embrace it, prioritize it, and refuse to apologize for it…it’s undeniably the best feeling in the world. and finding other lesbians who feel the same way…how do you explain something like that to someone who’s never felt it? how do you put that into words?
I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you’re with them.

To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.
Watched Princess Mononoke again! I honestly didn’t appreciate it enough the first time; I need to go on a Ghibli marathon now haha
