The Bubble Machine (A small window into my imagination) As I move throughout my day, I instinctively absorb the little things: the vividness of the color orange in my watercolor palette, the vibrant conversation rhythm between three congas in my headphones, the peculiar texture of a word I hear from a mind that I am fascinated with It takes just one. Only one My mind clings to it like a toddler hugging her favorite stuffed animal. Delighted, determined, not quite ready to let go And before the thought can settle? *CLICK* The soap is in the tray The wheel is ready Then the machine turns on One bubble, then three bubbles then a whole roomful of bubbles large ones and small ones their colors varying from teal to violet to pink as they ascend toward the light above Which one first?! The tiny one dancing by the window? Or the enormous one holding the whole room upside down? I draw close to one that looks especially iridescent and follow the shifting swirls of colors moving across its skin And just as I begin to wonder what else it might show me another one floats past And another, and another And—oooo, look at that one! One holds an image another a feeling A question brushes up against them and suddenly there are ten more I follow one then another each bubble seeming to open a world of its own Somehow, without even realizing it the afternoon slips into evening No need to know what each one holds No need to reach the end The world grows quiet My body settles into rest while my thoughts drift on lighter than the bubbles themselves— mesmerized

Cutieeeeee

Hey Look up.

después de 8 meses sufriendo, por fin nos hicimos novios la semana pasada y me pone feliz pero ahora tengo dudas TT Primero que nada, pues ya nos tratábamos de novios antes de serlo, así que no se bien cual es la diferencia, supongo que la seguridad de esa etiqueta. Luego no se bien a quien puedo contarle o tengo que contarle, de que le cuento a mi madre?? no lo se Me pone feliz porque me hacia sentir muy triste sentir que no era suficiente para que quisiera ser mi novio y como me senti asi tanto tiempo pues mi feed ya me muestra videos asi y no se si esta bien compartirlos o no, porque se supone que ya no me debo sentir asi, porque ya me eligio, pero sigo pensando de esa forma, no se como explicarlo, como que no porque ya seamos novios ya no voy a haberme sentido asi, que deberia hacer?

ima do this reddit style... i 17f am bisexual and i am like 99% sure im in love with my best friend 16f. i have no other way to sugarcoat it but here's the story... we have both been with our boyfriends for a year give or take this is also a crucial detail obviously. she is straight i am evidently not... she doesnt know this. 2 people know and my boyfriend is not one of these people. i tried to tell her awhile ago but i was tipsy which lead to her thinking i didnt mean it. i also used the term "would swing both ways" because to say bisexual out loud is to open myself to scrutiny. i am very accepting of the community obviously and i could never look down upon anyone but i think what ive just described is internalised homophobia... i will never tell my best friend my feelings because our friendship is too important i could never ruin it by making it uncomfortable and i could never ruin her relationship. im also extremely happy in my relationship i love my boyfriend and i want to spend forever with him, i just think i feel the same way about her too... i think my upbringing plays a role in my own internal issues, to my parents youre gay, straight, or lesbian. anything else "doesnt exist" my parents arent huge fans of the community in general😬 i dont know what to do with my life just in general, everytime my boyfriend calls me gay as a joke i actually tense up because im afraid. i think the way me and my best friend act makes him uncomfortable anyway. when i say my best friend is straight, thats just to my knowledge. for all i know she could be feeling the exact same way as me. obviously not the whole in love with her best friend part, but maybe just the bisexual part. if yous had seen us before we got into relationships, yous would think we were in a relationship with eachother. this is just so hard to comprehend in my head. i only really sat with myself and came to the conclusion that i could be bisexual about 5 months ago. forgive me for being cringe here but i am genuinely pushing this down and praying. the kicker is im not even religious nobody in my family is. culturally im catholic as an irish person, but other than that im not religious in the slightest. how do i actually go about this, not even talking to other people about it, but how do i well and truly come to terms with my sexuality even in my own head. once im sound with myself i can focus on other people. i only have one friend that ive used the word bisexual to, and it was over text, and it STILL didnt seem right to me.
