swings so mixed-ly between enchanting and unsettling

i thought i would never be a poetry person only for my first ever poetry books to be soul-melting so now i fear every next poetry i read is now going to be able to reach what for me is the normal🙈😭

reading good books is torture

(*joking* obviously) 

beautiful writing☺️

Slater's pins have no points: 
yeah, i get it virginia, the good old lesbian fantasy of hooking up in a cathedral
we have all been there girl

and, once again, what did we learn, class?......exactly........all historical lesbians were connected

gods, i fuckin love them

feminist or not, troubled, artistic, intelligent women gosthing each other and making sad art or revolutionary actions, longing sadly for each other whilst hurting their soul mates, immortalising their hearts in correspondences a few lonely kids can cry with a few centuries later

feminist sapphic Heaven must be amazing up there

this just hit differently
this is me

this is me, a lost empty ever-longing girl with perpetual birthday blues

too sad to cry-sasha sloan
