that quote from love, simon “these last few years, it’s almost like i can feel you holding your breath. you can exhale now, simon.” hit me so hard. it’s so rare to find a line that so perfectly describes what it’s like being closeted and how scared and isolated you feel. i can’t even put into words how important this movie is to me and i’m so glad the lgbt community is finally getting the kind of good representation we’ve always deserved.

I don’t just miss you on the bad days –
yes, I miss you on the days soundtracked
by too much sleep and playlists
saturated in midnight bluebut also on the days
when I discover a new song
to play on repeat
as I dance around my room
soft light stroking
the whispering walls
creating
a bubbling blue
atmosphere.– Kristen Costello
