girl who’s listened to 1000 taylor swift songs: u have to listen to style
My boyfriend noticed I’d been quiet for a few days and didn’t pressure me to explain. He just started doing small things. He charged my phone when it was low. Filled my water bottle before bed. Sent me “I’m here” texts instead of “what’s wrong” texts. One night, I finally broke down and told him everything I’d been holding in, and he didn’t interrupt me once. He didn’t try to fix it. He didn’t make it about himself. He just held my hand and listened.
A week later, nothing had changed between us. He didn’t treat me like I was fragile. He didn’t bring it up to use against me. He just loved me the same, steady and normal.
That’s when I realized real love isn’t loud. It’s safe. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t punish you for being human. It stays.
Hoping this reaches @realDonaldTrump. I saw your confirmation that Charlie Kirk, someone who you loved, has died. During your first term, someone I loved, was murdered. My daughter Jaime was killed in the Parkland shooting. I had hoped to work with your administration then to reduce gun violence. I am sorry for your loss today. I would still love to work with you to stop the next one.
