This Is So Beautiful And So True. I Wish Every Lesbian Could Find This And Experience The Feeling.

This is so beautiful and so true. I wish every lesbian could find this and experience the feeling.

I hope your girlfriend read this and knows how special she is, and how special you are. 💕💕👩‍❤️‍👩

I was simply going to post this, but then I thought, there's more to it than that.

I don't so much love being lesbian as I love my lesbian relationship. I love my girlfriend, I love being in love with her, I love the way she snuggles, the way she feels, the way we mesh, the way we are compatible. I love the way she loves me.

Yes, there are certain aspects to the relationship that I love that are unique to being lesbian-- it is 100% true that lesbian sex is better. I think she fits me and fills my personal needs better partly because she is a beautiful woman (inside).

But what I really love is my girlfriend.

It’s time to get clear about what you want. It’s time to get clear about what you need. It’s time to get clear about what you value. It’s time to get clear about what you deserve.

"The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling. The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire."

-Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power

Such a beautiful expression of what makes women truly beautiful. Thank you. 💕

You are a divine work of art. So many of us doubt it, but you are. Attractiveness is a complete package... not a body type, a hair color, or an age range. It is your uniqueness, your thoughts, the love in your heart, the curiosity of your mind, the effort you give to all the little things you manage every day, the gleam in your eyes, your smile, your laugh, the way you speak, the sound of your voice, the words you choose, your cadence; the way you carry yourself, the way you lose yourself in the music when you dance, the things you notice, the things you remember, the way others feel in your company, the way you treat strangers, the people who show up for you, animals, and children; the energy you exude, your essence, what you fight for, what you choose to let go of, and the way you give yourself away.... You do not need to feed the billion-dollar parasitic health and beauty industries that tell you what you need to be beautiful. No, you do not need those damaging and obviously-fake eyelashes and nail-tips, those pricey highlights, injections, perfectly drawn eyeliner, designer clothes, implants, and you do not need to wear that corset... although I agree it's lovely... you need to know that you do need it.

Empowering and enlightening.

"Erotic Existence … [O]nce we begin to feel deeply all the aspects of our lives, we begin to demand from ourselves and from our life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with that joy which we know ourselves to be capable of. Our erotic knowledge empowers us, becomes a lens through which we scrutinize all aspects of our existence, forcing us to evaluate those aspects honestly in terms of their relative meaning within our lives. The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling. Of course, women so empowered are dangerous. So we are taught to separate the erotic from most vital areas of our lives other than sex."
