Self-monitoring test (not to be taken as any sort of serious assessment) for if you’re a high or low self-monitor. Is your reaction to situations often dependent on social cues you can then alter your presentation towards, or guided by your inner sense of self and not changed in a given social setting?
*Speak = speak out loud or sign, not write. So if you only speak German at work/school/home/with friends, vote 1 even if you're blogging in English all day.
a lot of queer people i know in real life are either into or open to talking about astrology but online i think ive noticed a lot more people who dislike astrology and im super curious to see if that holds up.

I could never write something that I didn’t really feel. I could never pretend, I could never slip into a world of fantasy. I mean, The Smiths most certainly are not interested in escapism. It’s really very pointless. So, when I sing ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,’ I have felt that way so many times. I went through years as a teenager when I was very isolated. I had no friends and I always felt, night after night, that if somebody would call for me, take me out and just take me anywhere, just to go out and, you know, see people, drive through the city and look at what was happening around me. I always longed to do that but it never really happened. So, you see, that song is an absolutely true, genuine feeling.
I find it so beautiful and loveable when people who aren’t seen as religious at all have quietly clung onto a little bit of faith despite all their suffering - until they reach their threshold, because of someone they love. they admit ‘I stopped believing in God because this person I love has suffered so much’ — like that’s … heartbreaking. “I am the kind of person to believe in God but I cannot, because I love you and cannot reconcile a world where you suffer with Divinity”
