she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”
idiot parent: but how will i explain it to my children?
me: the same fucking way you’d explain a man and a woman, but now it’s either two women or two men
idiot parent: but my children theY wO’nT UnDERStANd iT!!
me: …
me: if you seriously believe that your children are incapable of understanding the concept of two people of the same sex being in love, then i would really worry more about your children’s iq level in general rather than using them as an excuse for being against gay marriage

PSA from Blobby. Something we should talk about more ❤️
I personally wanna see less 'you are not a burden/it's not work to love you' and more 'you are worth the work it takes to love you.' I KNOW I'm a burden sometimes. that isn't such a terrible thing! humans are strong. we can carry burdens. and it is work for me to be there for my friends, but it's work I'm willing to do.
we need to acknowledge this because pretending love isn't work will never make people like me feel less guilty for accepting love. we need to talk about it so people don't feel bad for having boundaries and not always being up to do the work. we need to accept it so we can properly appreciate what others do for us and what we're doing for them.
yes it does take work to love you. but guess what? you still deserve love, and you deserve people who are willing to do the work to love you. it doesn't make you bad. all love take work. and everyone is worth it.
Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.

You are wearing those sad eyes for too long now. Isn’t it the time to be happy again? There are thousand kinds of love out there. Do not suffer because of him——because of your love for him. Love wouldn’t feel like hell if you are holding the right kind.
