+ the Biggest Liar of them all:

Tired of meeting people that’ll just become strangers sooner or later

I have previously shared a comic about my online dating experience in a more humorous light, but today I wanted to share a story about how everything didn’t initially feel perfect. I was actually disgusted by myself the first time I tried online dating and felt ashamed for doing it. I was at a stage in my life where I wanted to start progressing in my romantic life but was limited by the amount of people I could meet in real life. Like everyone else, I would have preferred to just meet someone at school or just run into them at a cafe. However, after I met my boyfriend, I’m now like…”Why did that even matter?” I would rather have a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about me, shares dreams/goals with me, and most importantly—respects me. If the cost of that is to just meet online, fanfckingtastic. I sometimes think about an alternate universe where I met someone in real life in the most romantic way possible, but the relationship itself is shitty. Of course every relationship varies and is not the same. But at the end of the day, if I get to be with  someone who makes me happy, then the way we met doesn’t even matter. Also disclaimer I ain’t promoting anyone to do online dating if you’re uncomfortable with it, just sharing my own experience

I love this artist’s comics, they are really cute and thoughtful.

I personally didn’t have any issues with online dating; I never missed the idea of having a meet-cute. Maybe I’m not the most romantic, or perhaps I see romance in little things, like a nice message thread and a coffee date that works out. Or maybe, having known friends who met their significant other online, I just figured that it’s as good a way as any. But I know some of my friends struggle with the idea that online dating isn’t as organic as the more old-fashioned way. And that’s OK. But if people are looking for something, it pays to reflect on what hasn’t been working so far, and to try new things if you can.

I had the meet-cute with my ex. It was all very romantic. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that overall the only good thing that came from that (15 year marriage) is my kids. I lost friends, I lost money, I lost my career, I put off my education, and for a few years I even lost my brother. It doesn’t matter how or where you meet someone if they respect you, if they love you, if they share your goals.

why did you just say that?

fuck man

In case you weren’t convinced that hating yourself is a learned behavior

Physical shame comes from parents, teachers, media, and peers. It’s not something you’re born with. You were born naked, wonderful, and gorgeous, and no one should make another being feel as if that wasn’t, and isn’t true.

This made me cry

When you stop wanting it, it immediately comes to you.

Praying for the woman I’ll be in 5+yrs I hope she’s happy, and loved, living life unapologetically, doing what she loves.

What I wouldn’t give for a docile bear the size of a house

The gentleman and the chickadee are perfect.
