I was just in a really weird/scary mental place for about ten minutes, then I started reading the Autostraddle tumblr, and I totally calmed down.
try reading the autostraddle tumblr
and listening to “gift of balance” (gorecki)
you’ll be mellow yellow
Riese, my girlfriend and I just broke up because I’m leaving in a few months for grad school overseas. I’m shattered. How do I cope with the time between now and when I leave? What’s the protocol for seeing her again (as friends) while I’m still around?
i’m so bad at these questions
because my only advice is
as the indigo girls once so profoundly sang –
“all i know to do is go”
usually i just die inside/outside
and then run away
Is there a reason you write in lowercase? Even though I’m a total grammar-freak, it doesn’t upset me. In fact it draws me into what your saying! You’re making me question my whole being! (FYI my whole being isn’t grammar, I’m exaggerting for effect!)
i write in lower case when i’m writing casually – formspring, g-chat, conversational emails. i think my left pinky finger is just lazy
Reise, do you think lesbionic exes with a complicated past can be friends, or is there always an element of mindfuckery involved? I go back and forth whether I should just cut her out of my life.
no
i think you learn a way of talking to a person
and it’s hard to un-learn that way
especially mind-fuckery
it’s hard to phase out the mind-fuckery
in a few years
when you’ve both moved on
with other people
you can maybe start writing each other e-mails
just take a breather
let your head put itself back together
what advice would you give your younger self about wasting time? any type of time.
you do you, younger self
because when you grow up
you’ll be too busy
to ever waste time again
you will miss dragging your comforter into the living room from your bedroom onto the couch and burrowing into it to watch a marathon of a bad teevee show
How do you know if you’re pansexual?
when you wake up in the morning ask yourself “do i feel pansexual today?” wait for an answer. if nothing comes, ask “do i want a waffle for breakfast today?” wait for an answer. make yourself a waffle. make a waffle for whoever you woke up next to. worry about what to call yourself later. waffles are important.
Do you have a definition of when you know you’re in love? Maybe i need to stop trying to define things.
rumor has it
you “just know”
Do a $10K in 7 days campaign. All you need is 1000 readers for $10. I’m game.
that would be amazing, do you think we could get 1000 people? i’m too insecure to assess the possibilities.
