High key I feel like I will not be prepared for my first sapphic heart break but also I'll probably be in my 30s? So maybe it'll be different than the all consuming melancholy that wastes away at the spirit.

God yup, it was such a different experience to what I expected. It felt like the floor was trying to swallow me. But I also felt alive in ways I never had before
