My favorite part about being sapphic is when the things I love about other women become things I love about myself. One day I was tracing another woman’s stretch marks in a dim bedroom light. And then, seemingly by accident, I was doing it to myself in my bathroom mirror. I loved the feeling of a full hand of flesh when I grabbed a woman’s hips, and then mine didn’t need to be so skinny anymore. I looked at a woman’s lower stomach pudge and thought it was so soft and cute, then never wanted a flat stomach again. Loving women can be so healing when you come from a world that doesn’t.

forgive yourself. do it often.
small steps to getting there:
1. remember that you are flawed and human as we all are
2. keep in mind that you can’t go back and undo mistakes but you can learn from them moving forward
3. think about how this experiences has changed you in positive ways
4. seek forgiveness from others if needed but learn to be okay with them not accepting your apology, it doesn’t make you irredeemable

being self-directed, being my own muse, my own inspiration, my own mental point of origin, putting my own opinion of myself first, these are what gives me the confidence to happily do as I please and live my life without caring what others feel about my decisions and most importantly, without caring what decisions others are making with their lives. this is being self centered in a healthy way.

i imagine the people i love as lights, and if i looked at a map i’d see the glowing, no matter the distance between me and them. the world feels kinder that way. a little softer. less like it’s trying to hurt you. someone somewhere feels something when they hear your name. love is everywhere around us even when we don’t know it. i promise. when someone you love ends up far way from you, the love they have for you is brightening up wherever they are in the world. and somewhere deep down, you feel it. even miles away. even time zones away.

sometimes I see older people and I’m like… how do you do it? how do you cope with the loss of people and places and things as life progresses
