Them: Things are just things! Money and salary don't matter! Love is everything!
Me: *PTSD flashbacks of being forced to choose between heat and food in the dead of winter only to realize once you open your bank account after working a 40 hours work week that you can afford neither* Yeah. Okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
she looks like the new queen of the empire. she looks like a vampire that’s been sleeping and reading fashion mags for 300 years and just decided to grace the world with her beauty she looks like a princess who has just murdered her evil step parent she looks like a goddess lowering herself to mingle among the plebs (us)
does anyone ever talk about how limiting it is to be a lesbian? not in like the gross lesbophobia kinda way, but like…
good luck finding other lesbians/bi women? and GOOD LUCK finding any of them that are compatible with you? gay bars and stuff generally aren’t made with you in mind, and the ones that are are usually the first to close. and then there’s often very few other ways to meet women?
and then you have dating sites that are constantly invaded by cis straight men, etc. you get people trying to convince you to be open TO men, blahblahblah.
like it’s just an incredibly lonely, isolating existence? even for me as a white cis lesbian? like i live in a small town in england and it’s just…
i’ve literally dated women just because they were available. not because i was hugely attracted to them? like… they were there. they were within reach, and i couldn’t afford to be picky? so maybe if i gave them a chance, it’ll all turn out great?
like my dream is to somehow bump into a woman while at a shop someday and just like… fall irreversibly in love.
but that doesn’t feel like a thing that’s ever gonna happen + doesn’t feel at all realistic. so like… what do i do?
i can’t even imagine how much harder it is for lesbians who aren’t white and/or cis.
