Oh God I Wanna Be A Frog Sometimes Just Dancing Around A Fire

Oh god I wanna be a frog sometimes just dancing around a fire

reasons to live:

the next season of your favorite show. discovering new songs to play on repeat. cozy evenings where it’s easy to fall asleep. the scent of your favorite perfume or candle. daydreaming about places you want to go. reading something in a book and feeling everything click. the days where everything is golden and nothing is perfect but you see the beauty in everything and that’s enough. bumping into a future best friend by accident. finding beauty in solitude. sipping hot tea or coffee on a quiet morning. hiding in a cozy library. collecting flowers or ticket stubs. closing your eyes to a song on the train. smiling at a stranger and having them smile back. the beautiful colors of trees and flowers. exploring a world in a video game. seeing a fluffy dog and petting a cat. feeling the light breeze and watching the ocean as the sun sets. eating ice-creams and slices of watermelon in summertime. dancing alone in your room. making people happy just by existing. gazing into a starry night sky. knowing that anything is possible regardless of your past. knowing that you don’t need to have the answers to everything. knowing that every day is a new beginning and good things are always around the corner.

PREACH! I also use queer instead of words like gay or LGBT+. The inclusivity makes me feel so good as a pan ace person.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Here’s the thing about LGBT+ vs. Queer.

I’m ace, nonbinary, and demiromantic. With LGBT+ I’m included in the plus. And I’m happy to be included! Indeed, folks pointedly using LGBT without the plus makes my hackles raise.

But. I am sick of being in the fucking plus sign like an afterthought.

And no, adding more to the alphabet soup doesn’t help that feeling. There’s a limit to what human brains can cram in. I don’t think it’s reasonable to make folks say an increasingly long acronym every time they mention the community. I appreciate the effort, but you’re always going to either leave someone out or cram them into the miscellaneous field the plus sign represents.

With Queer I’m just there, alongside my queer siblings. The details may be different, but I’m just as queer as a cis allo gay man or a trans allo straight woman or a genderfuck individual.

We already tried to meet folks who don’t like queer as a word halfway with MOGAI. Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignment, and Intersex. It’s inclusive without using the Dreaded Q-Word. Surely, if the objection was to “queer” as a Terribly Traumatizing Word (just like, oh, every other word used for us: “gay” was the slur of choice where I was growing up), MOGAI would be the perfect solution, yes?

And yet, that was thrown back into our faces and turned into an insult. So, at that point, I said fuck it and fuck you. I’m queer, and if its inclusivity makes you mad, good.

As an ace person who watched Jaiden Animations when she was a kid I was pleasantly surprised 💚💜

not even aroace but the new jaiden animations vid almost got me crying ngl

That moment when you are ten layers deep in writing and then you're elbow starts to hurt from staying in the same position for too long.
