I only ever want the simple and small things. A bowl of fruit. To exist comfortably. To be accepted. To be loved. To eat nice food. To laugh as much as I can.

like having a boyfriend who isn’t a furry is actually sort of inconceivable to me. i literally can’t list a single reason why other than well it’d be kinda weird so. oil and water. well not that either actually. literally idk wish i could make something up now for notes. government
every august without fail is like i will give you some of the most beautiful golden summer moments of your life but also you will be thinking about childhood and loss constantly. it will always be either 5pm or 2am
My unemployed mommy dom texting me at work: grrr mommy needs kitten rn 😈
Me, on my fifth smoke break in an hour: I need you to actually kill me during sex this time please
The only sorrow is that there is only one month of summer left and it has gone too quickly; I am hungry for it still and feeling cheated. There was never enough time and there was never enough summer.
