i broke my one @grindr rule and caught feelings. too late for teenage shit, yet too soon to settle down, i feel so much shame amongst other people in their early 20s who feel very little permission to be open about how messy desire is. i cant begin to tell u how many boxes of tissues i've emptied writing this story. should u read it, i'd especially love to hear from u. please know: the victory here isnt the shiny NYT stamp of approval (though this is big for me)— it's that maybe we can talk about how we enthusiastically attempt love, even when we fail ❤ my two dan's @dani_noonan @crankykale, thank u for not judging me as we sat through several messy piles of words. @melguerrr, thank u for loving & believing in me. and ****, if u read this, no u didnt 😌
