kinda miss sitting in restaurants with my friends loudly having what is clearly the weirdest conversation the couple two tables over has heard all week and pretending not to notice them chuckle at my jokes but making sure to throw in enough exposition to give them context if they’re still listening

“why the hell is this one getting so many notes” i think, briefly, before realizing we’re three years into The Great Loneliness and i have just wistfulposted on yearning dot com

Things I have learned since becoming an Adult™

-don’t tell ur coworkers jack shit. You might think they’re your friends but they will sell you out for a paperclip -everything men tell you is a lie -store brand vanilla ice cream is better than name brand -pregnancy tests from the dollar store work just as well as $20 ones -don’t lie to your doctor -seriously don’t -at some point your card will get declined for $6 and nobody but you will care. It happens to everyone at some point in their life -you will become bffs with your mom (unless she’s a mean person, then skip this one) -you’ll wish you took the advice adults gave you when you were younger, even though it annoyed you at the time -people you went to high school with will become teachers, doctors, etc but they will still do drugs and it will be weird. That’s life, my dude -never underestimate the power of new underwear

The second last one though

:( lesbian loneliness is awful, i know how hard dating is for lesbians, how hard it is to swipe right on girls on dating apps, and how hard it is to message them so you wait for them to message you first – and then you get only one-two replies, one reply is from someone you end up being disappointed with, the other reply is from a girl who’s looking for a threesome with her boyfriend, reading about happy lesbian couples and being genuinely happy for them but wishing that was you… physically putting yourself out there - going to lesbian bars, trying to find THAT someone at one of those bars and then realizing all of them are oversaturated with straight girls but honestly… love & relationships happen when u least expect them and i hope all lesbians will have that one day

and honestly i’m not the biggest fan of the “fuck love, focus on yourself and that money” movement especially when it comes to lesbians - if you’re a lesbian and you want to be in love, you want to have a girl to spend your mornings and nights with, you want to have a girl to kiss in bed with, you want to have sex with that girl, make a family with that girl - if that’s something you, as a lesbian, want… god i hope you get it soon like yeah focus on yourself, take care of yourself obviously but never feel bad about wanting to be in love

When I was homeless a while back, I had the cops called on me for dumb shit. One of which, which is absolutely crazy, was when someone gave me money (that I didn’t ask for, he just saw me and asked if I needed anything. I said I was okay and he gave me money for food). They accused me of asking for money and threatened to arrest me for loitering or some shit when I was at a public park when they pulled up. I had to leave with nowhere else to go. I just went to the other park a half mile away lol. But I wouldn’t bother anyone and would mind my own business only for cops to show up saying they got a call. One cop was cool and basically said “fuck the caller” bought me food and told me about possible options. The rest were asshats ready to take me to jail for *checks notes* being alive and not living in a house?
