Everyone obsessed with Twitter is a terminally online culture war victim trying to forge a media career and addicted to spiking their own cortisol and they need to get a real job and integrate into society. Sooo glad that I meanwhile am unemployed in a chic way and spend all my time on Tumblr which denotes a refined, even aristocratic sensibility and a noble commitment to upholding a vanishing way of life in an uncomprehending world

Was talking with a religious friend and discussing, like, the ethics(?) of living together before marriage. And, like... on God I cannot imagine marrying someone I haven't lived with. Like??? Noo girl think about the generational trauma of your female ancestors being shackled into marriage and/or "being pure" until their wedding night, and then getting divorced, or not getting divorced when they probably should have, just because "that's what a good Catholic/Christian does, it's in the bible *shrug* you just have to make it work."

Liek why can't we as a society just... why do we have to always feel holier-than-thou toward other people?? just chill and let people do their own thing as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. the whole 'oh i know the right thing to do (because others told me to/it's in the doctrine)' is so childish hard to unlearn. I know. I was there too.

also it's very "no that's the thing i'm sensitive about" for me, because my grandparents are totally judging me for "living in sin". Which is fucking lame because this is one of the happiest I have felt in my life/a really strong friendship even if we eventually break up.

Even my uncle who grew up really M*rmon and married his wife who was also M*rmon (they have since left the church) told me when I was in college that he "couldn't imagine not living with someone before getting engaged.... it's so lucky things worked out with me and your aunt"

And also a friend of mine I have who never lived with her boyfriend/fiancée before they got married, because that's what her parents expected of "a couple" even though my friend's brother could bring his boyfriend over in his late teens and just get nasty into all hours of the morning?? Like it's literally just a stupid religious/'oh no what if they have a child out of wedlock??' trying-to-save-face-beforehand attitude.

This summer my brother and I visited a family friend we grew up with. He has a partner he lives with and several kids.

The girlfriend turned to her boyfriend, after my brother asked if they were ever going to get married, and said--while looking at her partner--"Please. We've been living together for ten years and have three kids together. Why would we need to get married? I think we're married."

I told my friend this story a while ago, which she thought was sweet, but I could tell she had her own thoughts about things. What I'm saying is we all have our journeys, but it should come from a place of understanding when you come up against an ideology different from yours, and try to understand all the pain the person you are criticizing has had to overcome to make peace with their choices today.

So writers joke a lot about "drinking the tears of our readers", but I want to be so honest with you when I tell you that making you cry isn't our real goal. Making you feel is.

Kicking your feet? Giggling? Can't stop smiling? And yes, crying? Feeling anything, everything. That's our goal. That means we did The Job.
