You Couldn't Just Pick and Choose

“You couldn't just pick and choose at will when 

someone depended on you, or loved you. 

It wasn't like a light switch, easy to turn on or off. 

If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out.”

― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

Last Night

“Last night I was seriously considering whether 

I was a bisexual or not but I don’t think so 

though I’m not sure if I’d like to be and argh 

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, 

if you like a person, you like the person, not their genitals.”

~ Jess C Scott, Tongue-Tied

I Cannot Have A Man Who Is Afraid of Everything

“I cannot have a man who is afraid of everything, 

I don't have the time to soothe insecurities and fears, 

I cannot have a man who is standing on a stone by a creek, 

watching for the fish to swim by and every time he sees a fish he says 

"Oh look, this fish scares me, I wonder what this fish means, 

this fish might mean- this, or this fish might mean- that" for God's sake, 

they are just fish, and they don't mean anything! 

Such a sad thing, so many fine, 

strong men standing on top of little stones, 

pointing at fish all the time! Such a waste! Such a waste of time! 

I can only have a man who will leap into the water, 

not minding the damn fish and whatever other little things that scare him. 

I need to have someone who is braver than me; 

if I am a pirate, he has to be the pirate Captain, 

if I am a pirate Captain he has to be the flying dragon.”

~ C. JoyBell C.
