Here’s the thing:
if he/she doesn’t respect your boundaries, whatever they may be,
they do not respect you.
Damn right! And that’s when you know they’re not worth your time.


Sobbing forever.

Ani DiFranco - Hearse
God, this woman is amazing. A true inspiration.
LYRICS:
I don’t want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
keep the wolves outside the door,
there is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more.
Little baby
in the next room dreaming,
is just icing on the cake,
there is nothing like dancing,
a dance of give and take,
one step forward,
one step sideways,
a helpless feeling,
when the earth shakes.
I will always be your lover,
even after our atoms are dispersed,
we will be pushing up daisies,
and my crush will just be getting worse,
I will follow you into the next life,
like a dog chasing after a hearse.
I just don’t want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
Keep the wolves outside the door,
There is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more…
What a beautiful couple! (And holy jesus, may I have that gray blazer?? Actually can I just BE the girl on the left????)

Human beings took our animal need for palatable food … and turned it into chocolate souffles with salted caramel cream. We took our ability to co-operate as a social species … and turned it into craft circles and bowling leagues and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We took our capacity to make and use tools … and turned it into the Apollo moon landing. We took our uniquely precise ability to communicate through language … and turned it into King Lear.
None of these things are necessary for survival and reproduction. That is exactly what makes them so splendid. When we take our basic evolutionary wiring and transform it into something far beyond any prosaic matters of survival and reproduction … that’s when humanity is at its best. That’s when we show ourselves to be capable of creating meaning and joy, for ourselves and for one another. That’s when we’re most uniquely human.
And the same is true for sex. Human beings have a deep, hard-wired urge to replicate our DNA, instilled in us by millions of years of evolution. And we’ve turned it into an intense and delightful form of communication, intimacy, creativity, community, personal expression, transcendence, joy, pleasure, and love. Regardless of whether any DNA gets replicated in the process.
Why should we see this as sinful? What makes this any different from chocolate souffles and King Lear?

I will admit, I wasn’t looking forward to my birthday. Somewhere along the line, I stopped feeling like my birthday was special. But today? Oh my goodness, yesterday was different. Yeah, I had to work ten grueling hours and then catch up on some homework, but that doesn’t even matter right now.
I received several messages yesterday, reminding me that I am not forgotten. That I am loved and appreciated. And let me tell you, that feeling is amazing.
One person in particular made today extra memorable. She got me a framed poster of one of our favorite “Keep Calm” phrases, and we hung it up on the wall this morning. It’s our first wall decoration. And then later, when I came home during my break, I walked into our apartment and immediately froze when I saw what stood before me: a beautiful Fender acoustic, sitting perfectly on a stand in the middle of the room. My jaw dropped. I was blown away. And then there were tears. A whole lot of them, because nobody has ever done something like that for me. But it wasn’t just the guitar, it was the sentiment, the endless love which inspired that surprise. I’m going to write her so many cheesy songs with that guitar.
All of the love and surprises and good news in the past 48 hours made yesterday such a good birthday, and the celebrations aren’t even over! She’s taking me out to dinner tomorrow, and I get to have her all to myself.
I’m the luckiest person in the world.
