Please don’t lie to me.  Please don’t string me along.  Please don’t keep me on your hook.  I know there’s probably some uncertainty in your mind and in your heart right now, but that’s okay.  I can accept the “I don’t knows”, the “I have feelings for someone else”, or even the “I’m confused”.  I just cannot bear the constant back and forth between hearing that I am the one you have feelings for and that something is there between us, and hearing about all the girls you spend your time with and how close you are getting, and how you love everyone.  Am I just another one of the group?  You say you love me.  You say I’m your life mate.  You say you want to date.  You say you want to be friends.  You say you have feelings for another girl.  You say you’re jealous she’s talking to someone else.  You say you love all of the girls equally.  These things do not all make sense.  It’s getting hard.  I am fragile.  My heart is starting to feel pain.  Please don’t lie to me.  Please don’t string me along.  Please don’t keep me on your hook.

"If people don’t want to be offended, they shouldn’t go to comedy clubs? Maybe. But if you don’t want people to react to your jokes, you shouldn’t get on stage and tell your jokes to people."

When you like a girl and she’s FINALLY gay and then you share personal things about yourself and a little piece of who you are and then she likes someone else and it feels like you’re not good enough. ISNT THAT THE BEST?!

soyunacutre:


Life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter —they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship —but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.

do you ever feel like you have your feelings for someone completely under control and you feel like you’ve moved on, and that you’re past this obsessive infatuation, but then someone says something small in passing and it completely unravels your calm?  Something so insignificant in a completely unrelated conversation but it just triggers all these feelings and they all rush in at once and it’s all you can think about.  She’s all you can think about.  That shit is the worst.

"Women aren’t raised in a culture that tells them they’re entitled to attention from men. We’re told instead that we have to earn it. And one reliable way of earning positive attention from men is to bash other women, especially women who speak out against sexism.”

“Excuse sexist behavior from men - get to be told you’re the exception. You’re not like those other girls, the bitchy ones. You’re special."
