“You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can’t love us all the time. Sometimes we’re born into families who don’t know how to love us properly. They do as much as they can but the rest is up to our friends. They can love you all the time, without judgment. At least the good ones can.”— Ryan O'Connell
maybe the enormity of my desire disgusts YOU. i like it though

… love is an endangered word,
untranslatable, its etymology closer
to that of raven or he who won’t
let me touch him—What if my wrists
bleed from such longing? What if I choke
on a picture? What if I forget the thinness
of my waist at dawn & lose myself
to magic? What then? Will I ever recover?— Yesenia Montilla, from “Chasing Duende,” Muse Found in a Colonized Body
