I look at the effortlessly pretty girls and take notes but never get to be pretty like that. never had someone talk dreamily about the color of my eyes. never had someone shyly confessing how much they fancy me. never had a poem nor a song written about me. never even got a rose on valentine's day.
I used to go on sleepless nights wondering what was that I lacked. wasn't I funny enough? interesting enough? was it my face?
how could I know? so I did the only reasonable thing I could think of. I learned to admire the bottomless pit of my plain black eyes, I wrote love letters to every version of myself, realized how quirky my mind was and got really good at being on my own.
now at twenty-five, I no longer miss a person I've never met. in fact, I find it hard to alter my sacred routine of one to let anyone in.
so how can I miss being chosen if I've never known how it feels like? why do I still find myself trying to look into the mirror for answers as to why hasn't anyone looked at me with loving eyes and undying yearning?
why does love come so easy for some but it's been an uphill battle for me? why is everyone exceedingly better at it than I've ever been?

ASEXUAL PSA!!!🖤🤍💜
The queen, Keke herself, interviewed Yasmin Benoit on her new podcast! Yasmin is an asexual activist that has achieved so much and won many LGBTQIA+ awards.
Yasmin is an amazing aspec leader and I’m so glad so many more people will learn about asexuality through this interview! So thankful that KeKe and her team chose to bring up asexuality as one of their first topics for their new podcast. I rarely feel represented so it makes me very happy💜💜💜
….unfortunately I can’t give a review because I don’t have Amazon music, but I will figure out a way! Link is below!!⬇️

A storm
Their kiss traced every crevice of my brain
Vast looming clouds cast over my head
It’s coming
I feel it
- A girl who’s never been kissed

Its been years since I've written something here or there, it's been years since I let myself feel free and open to someone's care, its been incredibly difficult accepting I may never be in love.
I never cared for romantic love as long as I had my friends, but the older I grow, I realize as the days go by that my mom is right, I'll need someone, eventually. I'll need someone to grow with, to build something with, to be around while I'm miles away from the rest of the only people who truly love me. Someone who cares for me when I'm rational, when I'm losing my marbles, when I'm feeling humorous and when I'm happy.
But I'm scared, as I've always been. Cause in all these years I've never found an ounce of proof of whether I'm lovable or not. I've never been someone's interest or focus, I've never felt the way my friends describe when they meet someone they connect with. I've never been close to being in love, and I'm scared if it didn't happen by now, it wont happen anymore.
But I'm not scared for me, I'm scared for the looks. For the questions. For having to say that it wasn't by choice, but because I've never been special enough. Because I've never been picked or dabbled with either.
I love the idea of love, I just don't think it loves me.

WHEN. WILL. IT. BE. MY. TURN.
Jane Austen, bro, you can’t just write stuff like this and then expect a lonely 19 year old 200 years later to not die inside every time she reads it. You just can’t.

poseidon’s relationship with percy is something that is so personal to me. love so flawed and complicated, so wary and tentative. your father is here. he’s always been here. he’s not sure what to make of you but he is proud of you. you’re not sure what to make of him either. you’re sally jackson’s son, but you have your father’s eyes. you are the sea as much as he is. trust him. trust yourself. breathe. the sea does not like to be restrained.

Romance a mere reverie in this lifetime
art and books will never cease to exist
thus there will never be a loss for love

my brain: zoro says he doesn't believe in god but he's been luffy's first and most devoted follower since the day they met. he was a wandering bounty hunter with no actual way of achieving his goal until he met luffy, who had nothing to offer but his dreams and a place in his nonexistent pirate crew. and zoro, who had every reason to cut him down, instead let himself be led by nothing but two rubbery hands and a too-big smile. zoro was the first person to ever call luffy "pirate king"; not future king of the pirates, the pirate king, and he did so as he dedicated his first huge defeat to luffy and has been doing the same for every victory that's followed. he's the most quiet in his affections but his loyalty can never ever be questioned because while he's willing to lay his life down for his captain, it's his willingness to live for luffy that shows how much he understands what his captain needs from him. he may call luffy an idiot and complain about having boarded the wrong ship but no one can deny that the boy who went out of his way to ask demand that he join his crew has become zoro's true north.
me, hitting tweet: zoro suck luffy good and hard thru his jorts
