I mean it.
i would be content watching ninja turtles and back to the future on
repeat, just as long as i could lay my head on your lap. i would drive
around the world, as long as my fingers were interlaced with yours.
and i really would be perfect, because you deserve the best.
when i talk to you
do you really hear what i’m saying
i love you comes out
but what i mean is there’s no one else who makes me feel this way. i
think i’ve loved you since the beginning.
i whisper i miss you
but my heart wants you next to me all the time. don’t you realize
that it’s not just at that moment, it’s always. every second of every day.
every song, every smile, every raindrop - i think of you.
and don’t think it doesn’t scare me to death
because it does.
it keeps me mumbling these petty, over-used phrases,
comfortable to read and write, say and hear
i can’t keep going with this much space in between us
don’t you get it? i’d pick up my life and move if you’d just ask. i’d be
happy, truly happy, sitting on a worn-out pillow listening to you play
your guitar forever.
forEver.
maybe it’s too much to hear
for the same reason it’s too much to say
but the fact still remains:
you are mine
and i am yours
and maybe that’s enough

- Evan: Come make me dinner lol
- Me: and how do you think i'm going to manage that?
- Evan: Uhhhh magic?
- Me: riiight.
- Me: come home and i'll cook for you.
- Evan: But I'm hungry now. And cake isn't gonna cut it haha
- Evan: I need something with substance lol
- Evan: Not delicious chocolate
- Me: i think the cake might be insulted that you said it was without substance.
- Me: you called the cake vapid, evan.
- Me: the cake IS insulted.
- Evan: It's in the kitchen, and also can't read. It doesn't know I'm talking about it.
- Me: you don't know that.
- Evan: It's not that it isn't good. It's just not filling like I need right now.
- Me: you better hope it's not telepathic cake.
- Evan: It's not.
- Me: mhmm.

Female Circumcision Comes to America (The Atlantic, October 1995)
What a horrifying read.
This is a fairly old article; in 1996, a federal law was passed prohibiting FGM on minors, and I know much of the info regarding state legislation and such is out of date.
Don’t think this isn’t still happening in the US, though.

As much as I adore this song, I really wish it weren’t the story of my life.
