Colon (:) introduces something. You usually use it when what comes after is a list, or an explanation, or even a reveal.
An example is “she had one rule: never apologize” or “this is a list of things you should get from the market: eggs, tomatoes…”
It’s also used as the eyes in a smiley face :)
Semicolon (;) connects two complete thoughts that are related but could stand alone as separate sentences. It’s stronger than a comma but softer than a full stop.
An example is “Frank never apologized; he didn't think he was wrong”
It’s also used as the eyes in a winking face ;)
That whole "everything but penetration" virgin phenomenon is so crazy to me. Do you know how evil you gotta be to try to gaslight God on a technicality?
The greatest dread you can feel as an adult is when you've been ignoring a problem or situation for a long time with the unspoken assumption It's Probably Fine, then all at once you are forced to look at it closely and you are gobsmacked by the True State of It.
