friendship between lgbt people is so confusing always bc it’s like am i love with you or is it that a lifetime of isolation has driven us to form deeper bonds than our cishet compatriots along with the knowledge that we’re more inclined to cast aside social ettiquite and emotional walls found in cishet friendships because we are so starved for closeness with people who understand and share our identities? wild
“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”— Nayyirah Waheed
