What is your opinion on dating a girl with the exact same name as you, when your mutual name cannot be made into a nickname in any way?
wanna hear a cute story?
SO, my mom’s mom’s name was marilyn, but she changed it to “marie lyn” because she was a model and that sounded better, and so i was named after my grandmother’s stage name, basically.
my girlfriend’s grandmother’s name was marilyn, but she went by the nickname “marni,” and so my girlfriend was named after her grandmother’s nickname.
so we were both named after grandmothers named marilyn! so cute right.
anyhow, because i go by the nickname “riese” now, it’s not as obvious. i guess if i still went by “marie” then it would be confusing ‘cause marni and marie are so much alike. i like to joke that our shipper name would be MarMar. also “marmar” is a fun word to say so i say it a lot. MARMAR
anyhow, where was i
oh yes, my friend julia (miss february 2011) had a girlfriend named julie for a while, and i think she survived.
YOU CAN’T HELP WHO YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH

not exactly
forbidden, but
exalted because
they are useless,
not intended
to get you
because I have
you & you love
me.

How do you know when it’s actually love? I’ve always vaguely assumed that you LOVE someone when they make you so happy you can’t picture your life without them. Like your friends. And then IN LOVE is when you want to have sex with them, too. Right? HELP.
i think you’re in love when you can say those words out loud when you’re all alone and it sounds right
this has historically been my surprisingly accurate litmus test for gauging the truth or me-ness of most major life changes:
‘i am attracted to women’ 'i am moving to new york’ 'i am a writer’ 'i am in love with x’
it works.

i think being IN LOVE means that you *can* imagine your life without them, but you don’t fucking want to.
