Forever thankful for the people who decided to still stay long after I decided to remove the mask I used to hide behind ♥️

Naturally, this is my safe space, so I have to post this here.
I went out for coffee with a guy at my job that I’ve just been vibing with lately. I don’t know what we have in common, but we just connect. We have fun at work, our conversations are always engaging, and he hypes me up when I need it the most and don’t even realize. We have a good give and take relationship going on.
When he asked me to hangout, I was nervous about going out due to a previous situation with the last male coworker I went out with. Overall, it didn’t turn out well, yet I decided to give this thing another try.
The coffee hangout went so well! I spent so much time trying not to be vulnerable in front of another man; however, I ended up crying (lol). Yet, he still made me feel so SEEN and validated my feelings. He didn’t say I was too intense or sensitive; he didn’t complain that I was venting and I gave him space to vent too.
Everything just felt so genuine and natural, like we could pause in those moments where we didn’t know what to say, ramble on when we had so much more to express, or apologize when we got so excited about something we both experienced and wanted to share, but ended up speaking over each other. It was such an amazing experience and just proves that sometimes you want someone to be your person and they might not be, and that there are also people that will accept you for who you are, but you just have to wait for them!
We decided on making coffee our thing whenever we need it and I’m actually looking forward to it this time.

poetry and musical theater get similar accusations leveled at them in terms of not being realistic, i.e. “no one fucking talks like that” or “people don’t randomly burst into song in real life” and sometimes i just want to take people by the shoulders and say. there are forms of art that are not aiming for perfect realism. are you capable of handling that

I have feelings about how these two are mirror opposites in reaction to monstrous trauma.
I have spicier stuff on my Patreon.
