we have the worst words for friends. Relationships in general.
LIke.... there's friends, but then there's more than friends but not romantic. The comfort person. The other half of your soul. (it can be more than two people) Soulmates really. Not romantic though.
Then there's not romantic, not platonic, not something in between. Something else. Something more. I like Queer platonic for this. But... There's so much nuance and wonder to friendships that I hate so much how we label it. I love shipping but shipping isn't everything and I want words to describe all the wonderful dynamics in both fiction and in real life.
LIke... found family? KIn? Do they work? No. they don't sound right to me.
Gahhhhh I hate it all. I'd rather dissolve all the labels and let it be poetry... but then there would always be the romantic interpretation. Which is fine... but it would be nice if it was just ONE of the interpretations instead of the ONLY interpretation. There's so many colors. Why are we only looking at red? Have you seen the pretty shades of green and blue and purple and orange?
