i need a stronger word than friend. not best friend no because. no. no no. you just don’t get it.

sure, this is my best friend, this is my closest friend.… but. it just feels like an understatement.

they’re not a partner or a significant other, no, it’s not like that… but we’re built for each other. soulmates. twin flames. the half of me i’ve been missing.

so like… where… is the word for that. i cannot keep saying ‘my friend’ whenever i am talking about them on here i’m going insane

Loveless people are not a tragedy. Loveless people are not something to be pitied. You don't need to understand us, since a lot of loving people don't or won't exactly get it, but talking about us as if we're necessarily living a sadder life is just hurtful. Some loveless people do struggle with their identity, but being loveless in itself is not tragic. It is a way to live and a way to feel. Lovelessness is an identity. It's a way of viewing the world. Don't mourn for us when you don't know what it is to be us, and please be respectful of the loveless people around you.

Sometimes I think about how many people I met in food service who smoke. I think about growing up in an upper-middle class neighborhood, and how it was drilled into me that smoking is addictive and bad for your health. I think most people, in America at least, are well aware of that. Whenever I would decline a cigarette, on the rare occasion it was offered, saying I dont smoke the reply is always "good, don't start."

I think about the long shifts, working on your feet all day, with breaks scheduled down to the minute. Every second of your day controlled by the clock, regardless of how tired you might be. However, in food service, there is one exception. The smoke break. Most managers respect the smoke break. The old school ones do, at least. The newer crop less so. Food service is fast paced, highly stressful work, and nicotine, in addition to all of its addictive and damaging properties, is a relaxant. If a burger flipper or barista says they need to step outside for a smoke, you let them do it, and you dont begrudge them for it.

It's such a strange bit of kindness. One that we know is terribly harmful in many respects, but performed anyway. I think about all of the interconnected systems, of health, of education, of exploitation, that leads a person to knowingly trade in years of their life for five minutes of peace. I wonder how many people in my upper middle class neighborhood would propose simply banning the smoke breaks. I wonder how many people I know would just break.
