Her life didn’t turn out how she’d expected. She had thought she’d get a happy ending, or at least a bit of solace. She didn’t think her life would end like this.

“Excuse me, but do you have these in a larger size?” I don’t know why I’m asking; I already know they don’t. And I knew this day was coming.

I remember the thrill every time our postman (who back then, you knew by name, wrote a Christmas card to, and left a bottle of wine out for every New Year) delivered a letter addressed specifically to me. Was it an elderly Aunt sending a belated Birthday card (that I secretly hoped was concealing a five-pound note)? Or was it the friend I had met whilst holidaying in Greece that I later became pen pals with. Or perhaps it was the Pony Club magazine; writing to me to let me know I had (finally) won their monthly ‘write in with your pony problems’ competition, and I would shortly be in receipt of a brand new saddle. Letters were so precious, they would often get pinned to a bedroom wall; with blue tack (which you prayed wouldn’t take off the paint) or sellotape, which rarely lasted for more than 24 hours.

Sometimes I stumble over the pebbles that brush underneath my feet. To me they’re not pebbles, but rather, they’re boulders in the maze created in my heart that I’m trying to maneuver around without waking up.

Heather. 05/03/21 Written by Dynasty Redd How does she look so great in the sloppiest clothing? She shops at the thrifts. Pairs flannels with distressed jeans. Hair is always messy, but beautiful. Her desire to just dress comfy somehow catches my eye. Her beauty is timeless. How does someone put so little effort into their clothing choices, and yet still be the most unique individual in the room? There's just something so special about the 90s reject aesthetic.

By any means, I am not a strong writer, I may not know how to properly edit and punctuate. I may tend to run a sentence too long sometimes, but I am happy to type out what I am thinking and feeling for others to read.

to articulate what exactly it is about you is beyond me. for the first time, i am at a complete loss for words. i have thought through every conversation we’ve had, everything you’ve giggled into the darkness, and everything that makes my head reel with certainty and uninhibited giddiness. i have spent time thinking through the waves of security, a feeling i have never been offered before. my mother always told me orange looked bad on my skin but the way you painted me disagreed. i never looked better before you took a brush to me; all my scars vanished under the oil. my world was drained of color and you painted me happy, so i never asked why.

Sweet Nostalgia When my sister and I were little girls playing dress-up and make-believe in the basement of our suburban home in Commerce City, Colorado, the outfit almost always included a white towel that we draped over our heads to pretend we had long blond hair. You see, in 1970, Goldie Hawn, Raquel Welch, and Morgan Fairchild frequently graced the television screen and the covers of the fashion magazines.
Machelle WilliamsPublished 3 years ago in HumansI'm still learning about my Sexuality
I knew I liked boys and girls at school, though I hid it and covered it up for all my school life, afraid of what the others would think. During the time when I went to school, being part of the LBTQ communities was pretty much dismissed, ridiculed, and outcasted by those around me. I was also sexually abused at school, and severely bullied, so for myself, it was easier to keep my 'other side' trapped in a cage instead of showing people who I truly was and facing more bullying for being bi-sexual. Of course, as I got to those later years of puberty, the attraction grew stronger, but I stayed under the umbrella of 'heterosexual' instead, because that felt safer for me than coming out. I did find myself extremely attracted to both boys and girls at school, and that became more obvious once I reached around aged 14. I also found it difficult coming out and telling family, because my family life was quite difficult and I was worried about what they would think.
