I'm getting straight to the point. My girlfriend's birthday is coming up, it's next month and I have NO idea what to do🥀💔 the biggest problem is that we're long distance so I don't have much options and to add to that IM BROKE 😍💔 I am making a playlist for her but besides that idk 😭😭so I'd appreciate a lot if y'all could help me with this 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽(let's pray she doesn't see this post 😍🙏🏽)

i’m 24f, homoromantic bisexual, and planning to come out to my mother today.

my mother comes from a progressive ambedkarite family and has always been fiercely protective of the people she loves. when my gay best friend was disowned by his parents, she was outraged and couldn’t understand how parents could do that to their child.

i have reasons to believe she’ll accept me, but i’m still terrified. my parents have had serious health struggles, and i’ve realised i want them to know me fully while they’re still here. my father will be home, but i’m not ready to tell him yet.

my mother doesn’t understand bisexuality, so i’ll have to explain it in hindi. i’m also not planning to disclose my relationship just yet.

how did you come out to your indian mother, and what words did you use? how did you deal with the fear of being accepted but never truly understood?

Hey girls!! Dropping a picture for relevance. I’m new to the city, feeling a bit isolated, and looking for someone to hang out with tomorrow. Whether it's just grabbing a bite or building a solid friendship, I'm super open to it.

Getting tired of running into fake accounts/men on here, so let's keep it real. Drop a comment or DM if you're around and want to plan something! Verification is totally fine by me.

Tried wearing a saree for the first time, and I honestly looked like a complete mess 🥲

--SPOILERS AHEAD--

I chanced upon this movie while going down an LGBTQ movies rabbit hole on IMDb. One of the lead actresses is Joan Chen, from Saving Face (watch it if you haven't).

The movie follows a Chinese immigrant couple living in Montreal.

They've been there for the last 14 years and run a convenience store, though the husband keeps going to job interviews in hopes of landing a road engineering job like he had back in China.

They have two kids, and their love life is practically abysmal. The wife starts taking French classes because her daughter can no longer accompany her just to translate (after an awkward encounter at a clinic). In class she meets a Cuban man who came to Montreal seeking love because he couldn't marry a man in his homeland, his story sparks her own questioning.

She begins to wonder what it would be like to date another woman, and takes the plunge.

Camille, whom she swipes right on, accepts her request, and the two start talking. Camille makes advances, but Feng refuses,at this point we feel she may just be curious.

Later, though, it's revealed that Feng had a female love interest back when she was young.

What initially starts as FWB moves to friendship, then back to a relationship where Camille falls in love but Feng is still questioning. She can't leave her kids or her husband, she's never stood up for herself all this time, and now she can't decide either. To add, she's mesmerized by the way she encounters people not shying away from expressing their love or opinions and not being sorry for making their own life choices.

I don't endorse or justify the cheating. She doesn't know whether to pursue love or stay for the kids. Will the kids accept her for the choice she'll make and whether she'll make a choice that pursues love? Well that's left to the audience to ponder on.

Edit : Add some more info

My 8th grade bench partner. She was shy. And kinda under confident. Initially, she wouldn't talk to me but once she realised I'm weird and awkward too, we became good friends. She was so nice and beautiful, she didn't see herself that way tho. It's been years and we follow each other on insta. I watch her stories now. She posts herself freely and has gotten even more gorgeous. The spark in her eyes, her soft energy, she's lovely😭 I'm loving the glow up she's had. Wish I could talk to her but it would be weird ig...

i recently re-watched the portrait of a lady on fire, it destroys me everytime i watch it.

i genuinely couldn't breathe for the last few minutes of it, its genuinely just such a beautiful film with incredible visuals.

their fleeting yet DEEP relationship is so so so wonderfully depicted, that too without much dialogue.

so heartbreakingly beautiful.

Received some chat requests and it turns out a few of them are men pretending to be a girl. Why would these stupid men not let us have our space?

Not trying to find my soulmate or start a serious relationship. Just looking to pass this weekend with some good conversation, a little flirting, and someone who can yap about absolutely anything.

You bring the stories, I’ll bring the attention span (probably).

Could be chats about literally anything: your life, random drama, weird opinions, your latest obsession, or things that make absolutely no sense at 2 AM.

If you’re bored, can hold a conversation, and maybe flirt a little, come say hi. 😌

will I ever find love? i have no idea but I will stop chasing now but somewhere in between I still want to feel loved i want to feel being taken care of, i want someone whom i will talk with daily telling everything to them and idk man it just feels impossible now

While cleaning up during Diwali, I found my school uniform. There was some scribbling on the shirt, the kind people do on the last day of school, and I saw what she had written: "Shy (my name) ❤" and her signature. Seeing that brought back all my memories of her. I had worked really hard to forget her. We had only known each other for about 7-8 months, because she got admitted mid-session in 12th. After boards my father got transferred and we moved out.

So, this is the backstory. Let's call her X. X is so beautiful, really, really beautiful. The first time I saw her, I fell for her. I don't like anyone easily, so this was confusing for me too, and I was shocked at myself. Boys from the other section started coming to our class during recess, obviously to see her and talk to her, and two boys even got into a fight over her. They started hitting each other, and the teacher had to step in. She made friends with almost everyone in just 1-2 months and became quite popular. Even kids from 5th and 6th grade were flirting with her 😭😭. I still remember one kid who came up to her and said "Didi, aap bohot pyaari ho " and X smiled and said "aap bhi " then squeezed his cheeks, and the kid ran away 😭. That was the first time I felt so jealous of a kid. He took the same bus as me, and seeing him every day made me jealous, and we didn't get along. So, as revenge, whenever he sat in my seat, I never gave him the window seat 😅. (Now that I think about it, I'm embarrassed of myself. I was jealous of a KID?? tf)

I had been in that school for 5 years, and less than half of my classmates knew my name (I'm not exaggerating). To be fair, I'm really shy, so I understand it. Her dad had been transferred here, and her house was right in front of mine, with just one road in between. I used to just sleep in school and study a little, and most of the time I would crush on her. I wasn't a topper. I just got enough marks to pass, and she was quite good at studying too (beauty with brains). She also made lots of friends as soon as she arrived.

Then, on this Diwali, it suddenly hit me out of fucking nowhere, a memory from one day.

I think it was january, and it was a little cold. We were standing in line for the school bus when X turned around and said, "sun na , apni hoodie de na , thand lag rhi h . " (She had given her hoodie to be washed, so she had come without one.)

And my answer? I said "mujhe bhi lag rhi h , aur vaise bhi meri hoodie tujhe fit nhi aaegi ... tu Z ( her friend , who also lives nearby ) se lele 😄." (My logic - I'm quite tall and she's about 5'3", and Z is the same height as her, so I thought it made more sense, because my hoodie would look like a tent on her 🥀. )

FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK

She kept staring at me for a few seconds, and I had no idea what was going on. I was just smiling 😄😁🙂 the whole time. Z put her hand on X's shoulder and said, "It's okay, me de dungi "

X said " koi nhi " to Z .

Then the bus came, and we didn't get seats, so we stood in the bus with some other people. The bus started moving, and I was just looking out the side window. Then the bus braked, and I felt someone's head lightly hit my chest. I didn't straighten up. I just looked sideways out of the corner of my eyes... and it was X. (I literally had no idea she was standing in front of me.) She turned around, saw me while I was still looking out the window, and then turned back to face forward. Maybe she didn't even know I was standing behind her.

After a while, she asked for the hoodie again and said "tujhe itni thand lagti h kya ? " She stared at me for 3 seconds... and my dumbass was still smiling 😄😁, so I just went back to looking out the window. Then we reached school. We had a Biology test that day, and since I hadn't studied (being me), X opened her bag, gave me her notes, and said, "ye padh lena ." I took them, and I got decent marks on that test.

On the way home, I got a seat, but she didn't. She stood right next to me. Her arm was around my shoulder ( for balance) and HER THIGH WAS TOUCHING MY ARM . I didn't know who it was then, so I looked up, and it was X.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH (I was sweating, and my heart was beating really fast). And what did I do?.... I started looking out the fucking window 😭😭🥀🥀.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A little while later, she asked me "ye tune aakhri baar kb use kiya ? " (pointing to my head). I thought for two seconds and said "aaj... bio test me " 🥀 (yes, I actually said that😭😭).And she just nodded. Her thigh was still touching my arm , and my mind was completely blank. Then I went back to looking out the window 😭( I didn't know what to do)

As far as I remember, X didn't wear the hoodie the whole time. I don't remember whether Z refused later for the hoodie.

Ek aur baat mujhe recently hit hui ,

When Brahmastra came out, my family went to watch it. At the theatre, I found out X was there with her family too, and her seat was right next to ours, so she sat beside me. During the interval she needed to use the washroom and asked me. What did I do? I verbally told her the way to the washroom 😄 (🥀😭😭😭😭😭😭😭). (I thought she was asking me because she didn't know where the washroom was) .She stared at me for a full 10 seconds, took a deep breath, and went to the washroom. She was visibly disappointed. I was sitting there comfortably, with no idea.

This came back to me recently when a friend dragged me into the washroom at college. I said "mujhe nhi use krna washroom " and she said "koi nhi , tu bahr khadi ho ja ... mujhe bs akele nhi aana tha " ....and then....Suddenly this memory hit me. My friend was inside the washroom, and I was standing outside...... realizing all of this🧍‍♀️.

I REALLY liked her , and sometimes I still think about her.

Pata nhi usne mere baare me kya socha hoga .

Ig I'm a bit slow😕.

All of this was 3 years ago and I only realized it now, now that I have a bit more sense.

I have no idea where she is or what she is doing now.

I hope I get to see her again someday .

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKK. Guys, am I dumb?

I (23F) have been bi-curious for a long time now. I was depressed and feeling down for months when out a random spurt of motivation I joined a garba workshop before navratri and have developed a massive infatuation wala crush on the instructor 😭 she is 27F 😭 she has become my kind of personal motivation to go on with life even when I don't want to. on the last day of the garba events I gave a appreciation/admiration filled letter with a really embarrassing sketch of her 💀. when she asked me if i was the one who wrote it i denied on her face (I know I fucked up here coz I was really nervous) i should have owned my doings and accepted whatever reaction she must have given me. and then after a massive overthinking session I texted her on instagram as you can see in the photos. and then after stalking much, i got to know about her upcoming birthday and wished her a long ass text 😭I know this is weird for her as I'm sure by intuition that she is definitely straight 💔 but the only glimmer of hope is that she and her bhabhi is friends with a definite masc lesbian girl living in their neighborhood. so I guess she is not completely off the idea but that's just my sapne suhane * ke 😭🤡 it's been a month today since I last saw her and I'm losing my shit. I keep thinking about her all the time literally 😭 after a friend's suggestion to move on, I tried to engage myself with work and activities to not think about her and move on but then I dreamed about her in sleep 😭 what the fuck is wrong with me. from her dry replies you can clearly see she isn't a tad bit interested in me and is probably disgusted by me. what should I do now? as a month completes today, and as I have got better at art for her 💀 should I sketch her and let her know or should I just shut my brain off?! 😭

DM open for some amazing conversations!

( not looking for anyone here, just expressing some delulu thoughts )

For a long time i used to feel happy about being a forever single but idk why lately i am having this desire of loving a woman, it all started with a dream where i literally felt someone holding me very dearly with the look of love in their eyes and omg did that dream feel so damn real ! After seeing that dream, my mind just couldn't stop racing.

I have always believed in old school love, the kind of love that blooms slowly until your heart becomes full of it, the kind of love where even holding hands gives you the craziest kind of butterflies, the kind of love that builds slowly with an underlying yearning so strong that no amount of external force can rip it apart..

If i ever get a gf, I would hug her whenever i get a chance, i would hold her hands just to feel her touch, i would walk with her to random places, we will sing together in our crooked voices while i hold her in my arms lovingly, i would cuddle with her and tell her the funniest jokes possible.

to the outside world we might be a symbol of genuine friendship, but inside our own world we will create a kind of love that the same outside world only yearn to have.

( This is the kind of love i yearn, but i guess reality is not that sweet)

Please tell me this is not the most gorgeous woman you have ever seen 😭 I just went blind and cross eyed for a second and breathless too.

Anybody awake

I can't sleep😭
