hi! it's funny, i actually sent Michelle a message about an hour ago, but I just saw your post and i felt I needed to message you as well. my best friend and I are in a similar situation to yours and michelle's (as in i love her more than anything and she lives in england while i'm stuck in iowa, ugh) and i get a lot of questions that are "why don't you two date" and i don't understand how people can be so thick-headed! i can second everything you said. when i am able to be with her, all (cont)

cont: i want to do is hug her or hold her hand and the thought of her not being in my life forever is enough to send me into a panic attack, but that doesn’t mean that we are “together”. ahh that was long but pretty much it’s so refreshing to see that we’re not the only ones in this situation! long distance friendships are one of the hardest things i’ve ever encountered, and it’s nice to see other people able to make it work xo

First of all I just wanna say how wonderful all the support both of us have gotten about this is - clearly the douchebags are in the minority (or just silent, which is fine by me). And the thing is, I know that we’re lucky in a way because we’re both adults and she was able to come visit me three times in the past year, but it doesn’t make it any easier. And actually, the fact that I’m 23 and she’s 25 just means we have people jumping down our throats MORE about being in ~relationships because we’re at that age when people expect us to “”“settle down”“”. I just don’t understand why people can’t grasp this idea of a best friend being that central relationship in your life and why romantic relationships are considered so massively superior. I’ve never been the type of person who neeeeeeded to have a boyfriend (much to the confusion and frustration of my mother), but I’ve found since knowing Michelle that I do want the companionship. It just works for me for that companion to be a platonic one, because I don’t want to put the effort into having a romantic relationship at this point of my life. And honestly, I’d live with Michelle and adopt/sperm bankify kids with her and everything, despite how confusing it would be for our poor children to explain that they have two mommies that are not actually lesbians! 

IDK, I think maybe it’s a concept people can’t understand until they’ve been in that position, like I sometimes have trouble understand some of the dynamics of romantic relationships. But it’d be nice if they’d respect it all the same. 

omg her part

Do you remember those commercials for the combs that you could use to get a part like that?

Because I do.

big siblings are the WORST (heheheh) i told my sister when she was like 4 that the highest number ever was chair and she didn’t realise i was lying until like a year ago (she’s 14)
