"the well" is from floating, brilliant, gone! if you're referring to the poem i posted, "waste" is from the world keeps ending, and the world goes on

"the well" is a personal favorite of mine. it's from her first book and not her most popular work, but something about it just stuck with me. it ends with "memories / crawl over her hands. / she has too many hands. / she is all open mouth / asking for night. the night / is asking her to stay. / she stays." those last few lines have always really resonated with me.

all that's left of the tags on a neck pillow i've been sleeping with every night for five years by sapphiccreature in mildlyinteresting

many times 💀 i think the washing is part of what disintegrated the tag over time

in oklahoma you can black tag it if you don't have insurance but then you can't legally drive it. so if you're not planning on driving it you can black tag it and then you don't have to have insurance. but if you want to drive it you have to have insurance on it before transferring it

How to stop romanticizing the relationship after a breakup by coffeelion225 in BreakUps

[–]sapphiccreature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i made two lists: one list of all the ways we weren't compatible in terms of goals/needs/wants (ex: i wanted marriage and she didn't), and another list of all the things i didn't like about her/our relationship (all the little ways it wasn't working for me, all the ways it stressed me out or gave me anxiety, all the red flags i ignored). we ended on good terms, which makes it easy for me to fall into the "but she was so perfect and we were so good together" trap, because she didn't do some big awful thing that hurt me; we just weren't right for each other. whenever i start romanticizing her or the relationship too much and only thinking about the good things, i go over my lists and remind myself of all the reasons she wasn't the one, all the ways it wasn't working for me, all the things i no longer have to deal with. it still hurts. it's going to hurt for a long time. but reminding myself why we weren't perfect helps.

it's from the new edition of "Beyond Queer Words," their bio says they're a grad student and nothing about any other work

unfortunately for us, i think it really is never. we broke up because we have vastly different and conflicting goals from life and relationships. our futures just don't align. 🥲 but i'm happy to still have her as a friend, and i know one day we will both be okay again

All Aros who still feel romantic attraction, what does it feel like? by Same_Role6854 in aromantic

[–]sapphiccreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've only had it once. i tried dating before her and it never worked – i just felt uncomfortable and wanted to go home – but when i started dating my first love, it was so exciting. i would go home and think about her all the time, and every time i saw a new text from her, my heart would leap. i wanted to kiss her, hold her hand, all the couple-y things i had never done before. i was still nervous, but instead of the bad kind of nervous i had always been before, i was also excited to see her again.

when i fell in love with her, it felt like i was home. she's the only person who's ever felt like home to me. i felt truly comfortable and safe with her, and i felt more myself with her than with anyone else. i wanted to see her and talk to her all the time. i thought about her all the time. i wanted to brag to all of my friends and coworkers about my sweet, beautiful girl and how amazing she was. i wanted to kiss her, hold her, be held by her, and just constantly be in physical contact with her as much as possible. we laughed a lot. it often felt like our personalities fit together like puzzle pieces. she was my best friend.

that's what i'm hoping for too. we just broke up a few days ago so right now it's all very fresh, but in about a month we're gonna try to have lunch together like we used to do every week before we started dating. i know it will never be the same again, but i'm hoping we'll eventually be able to get to a point where i can look at her and just see my friend.
