"Aren't you ruining your friendship?" he asked when he learned that my best friend and I share a bed when we visit each other. Even though he said we wouldn't work as a couple, he couldn't hide the jealousy in his voice. I could understand his jealousy: my best friend is the kindest man you'll ever meet, 6'5", level-headed, wouldn't hurt a fly. He's my polar opposite: calm, soft spoken, mentally stable. He's my mirror image: adventurous, athletic, a reader. We click, platonically. We don't click at all, romantically. So when we share a bed and I crawl into his arms in the middle of the night, it's so he can chase away the demons in my mind.

🫂we’re each other's person; the first person we want to talk to when we wake up, and the last person we want to see when we go to bed. when we get good news, they’re the first person i’d tell. we want to know all the small things that make up who we are and cherish it. we do NAWT have sex or maybe like 1 time a year because im too ace for that. but we kiss and we cuddle and we hold hands and we laugh and we sing and we dance. i want them to be someone creatively imbued, an artist of any type, who loves my freckles more than i do. someone to notice all the small things about me and love them without even saying it. and if we’re talking logistics, they HAVE to be ok with the whole not-a-boy-not-a-girl + asexual ordeal i got going on because i am not doing that hellscape again.
so in other words basically a queer platonic relationship i think

Having such a good relationship with your friend to the point everyone else genuinely thinks you’re boning. (we do feed into it cause it’s funny)

I'm a July baby. Growing up, I spent most of my birthdays alone. Some years because my friends had left the country. Some years because I'd left the country. Some years because I had no friends. And with every year passing, the pressure to spend my birthday surrounded by friends and family and to have a good time increased. Every year I felt like a failure when I couldn't make it happen. So I stopped telling people it's my birthday.
But today is my 28th birthday.

✨I hadn't seen my friend since New Year's Eve. Now it was October, her wedding day, and she barely gave me the chance to gush over her gorgeous dress, her makeup, her jewelry.
"You look happier," she said. "Your energy has changed. It's much calmer now. I'm happy for you."
I love her for taking the time out of her special day to notice me like that.

We got the call just after 7pm. My dad had gone for a run, collapsed, and was found dazed and confused by his friends, who called an ambulance.
I drove my mom to the ER. We spent four endless hours at my dad's bed, waiting for test results that took forever to reach us. Just before midnight, the doctor told us my dad's heart was okay, but they'd keep him overnight for observation. My mom and I were sent home. We hadn't eaten yet.
The house felt wrong when we came home. Empty without my dad. I started crying. "You have to eat something," my mom said. She dug up some chicken nuggets from the depths of the freezer. Everything felt incomplete with just the two of us there, but after a couple of chicken nuggets, we thought for the first time that everything would turn out okay. My dad is too stubborn to go like that. Especially when there are chicken nuggets to be eaten with his family.
