Sleepover

-slow snowflakes fall from the sky-

-my cheeks hurt from laughing so much-

Her: You haven't seen bridesmaids?!? That's a deal breaker for me (joking, not joking)

-her dog chases my dog through the open field-

Me: Haha! Ya I've seen it.... (smiling) if you ever sleep over I'm going to turn to you in the morning and be like, "Soooo, I don't know how to say this... but I kinda want you to leave"

Her: Ahahahahaha! That would be hilarious!

the perks of lesbian friendship

-at lesbian dance party-

Her: AH! I just saw my ex! If she comes over here will you make out with me to make her jealous?
Her best friend: Of course!

Risk

people ask me

"Weren't you scared moving to LA alone at 18?!"

or NY with only $500 in cash and a little suitcase

or living in London England

yes. yes I was.

but I was much more terrified of not going

and asking myself

"What if?"

(also, my brother read me the Hobbit when we were little

and I like the smell of adventure)

But I like you

Her: You should come watch soccer with me sometime
Me(enthusiastic but not convincing): Ya! ....maybe
Her(laughing): Do you like watching soccer?
Me: Not really (flirt smiling) but I like you

Four Things I Wish I had Known Before Coming Out

heeeey

so, you've finally figured out that you don't want to BE Taylor Swift

You want to date her.

Congratulations!

You are gay!

Here are the four things I wish I had known before coming out:

1. It won't define you. You have many attributes! Humor, artistry, really bad kitchen dancing skills that no one will witness but your dog! Being gay is part of every gay person's life but not their whole being.

2. Not everyone will like it. But for the most part you won't hear from those folks. They will just slowly fade from your life. And you will find yourself with really close friends because you can finally let your guard down.

3. It turns out being gay is actually "a thing" now.....I'm not sure when it became cool.....or maybe now I only hang out with people who think it's cool. But it seems to be the thing to be. WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS BEFORE?! GAH!

4. You will come out of the closet over and over and over and over. Unless I go and shave ALL my hair off. Which personally will never happen. Because me without hair would probably be semi-terrifying. Plus I like being "feminine". And I don't have to revoke that because I date women. I once shaved off 1/4th of it and it didn't help. Point being, no one assumes I am gay. Therefore "coming out" happens at least twice a week. Luckily it gets less and less awkward. Because also, one of the things I wish I had known before coming out is that you get tougher.
