i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

amazed at how a drastic haircut has literally changed my life i'm now hotter and more powerful than i have ever been and i do mean EVER

Help tanani family to reach at least to 15k they are close to the half.🙏

I’m going to go insane bc people think being kind is some kind of act of subservience instead of dignity. I need a camel crush Cigarette

Just putting this out there again.

Bestie all these height answers made me go omg I gotta do mine!! So I am 5ft 5/6 and they r 6ft 3 and its all the stuff like being able to fit just under their chin, taking any excuse when I am higher up like on stairs to give them forehead kisses, one watching ahead over heads and one for the feet and crowds, stopping eachother to point out stuff like cool bugs in bushes and either tip toeing or stooping to see,,,,the way i can be a jetpack when im big spoon,,,, you have truly made me appreciate theheight difference <3

"one watching ahead over heads and one for the feet and crowds, stopping eachother to point out stuff like cool bugs in bushes and either tip toeing or stooping to see" oh this is undoing me. utterly i LOVE this !

I’m 5” and my partner is 5”7. We fit perfectly into each other like a really good puzzle.

oh i am living living living !!!

i'm five foot seven and my boy is five foot nothing. i can sweep him off his feet ❣️ being a tall femme and loving a short butch fills my heart with so much joy. his body fits perfectly next to mine...and he's at perfect bury-face-in-boobs height 😌🙏

crops watered skin cleared anon i am LOVING this for both of you ��😭😭

I've dated people both taller and shorter than me, but I like that my gf and I are the same height because neither of us have to crane our necks when we slow dance in the kitchen late at night and I stare into her eyes as we fall slowly and deeper in love with every faux-waltz step ❤❤❤

genuinely sobbing anon from my heart may your future be full of countless more beautiful faux-waltzing into the late hours with your beloved 💗

on context: "[set during] the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the shelling of Beirut [...] Memory for Forgetfulness is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)?" (source)

may all of you get to experience being loved properly

will be answering / queueing the height asks now and again over the next few weeks so as not to flood the dashboard. anyone else who sees them & wants to share their own little stories is welcome and they will find their way into the tag eventually 💗 you can blacklist #love is a house with many rooms if you want to avoid them altogether x
