I did a thing.

#hanahakidisease

#onesidedlove

#myart

A golden flower garden under ground with two people in it. One on the left is on his knees in a very fluffy jacket that is lavender and navy blue. He has a flower crown on his head, he's choking up golden flowers. The one on the right stands and has their face obscured by hair and their left hand. Their right hand with a ring on it reaches out to the crouching boy, but not enough. This person wears a light weight hoodie.

This artwork was inspired by Secret Garden Orchestra, Hanahaki Disease, and Unrequited Love.

Thanks a bunch to @jyomtown.bsky.social for writing such a moving script! In this audio, Molly takes a backseat, and Hestia comes forward to congratulate you on your marriage. However...she has something else to tell you.

A #thought:... Some of us need to feel #love towards a person, to have #sex with them. Whilst, there are others who need to have sex with a person, to feel loved by that person.

That said, #UnrequitedLove is undoubtedly more damaging to a #friendship, than a sexual encounter.

“I’m straight and I fucking hate it! 💔 Petie loves me but I can’t love him back…” 😭

A weird, wonderful moment from John Waters’ 2000 masterpiece Cecil B. Demented. 🎥 Because sometimes dysfunction is a beautiful thing… and cinema is life. 🎭 #CecilBDemented #JohnWaters #QuirkyClassics #UnrequitedLove

Full Moon
By AnnaMarie Jenema

Against the backdrop of a moonless sky,
I desire a romance that glows like a Jack-o-latern,
The bobbing candlelight parallels my heart.
The will-o-the-wisp sweep me off my feet on a foggy night,
Spirited away.
These feelings are a lighter,
Igniting each star as if a wick embedded itself in their cores.
Like lightning bugs, I catch them in a jar.
They light up the empty sky,
And onlookers would think them a full moon.

A few days ago, while organizing my bookshelf, I found a note I wrote to myself just before my college entrance exams. It was a short page, filled with emotions I can hardly touch anymore.
