why do you prefer butches?

i don't just prefer butches, i'm exclusively attracted to butches. there are sooo many reasons why, but here are just a few.

the masculinity which sits on their shoulders so naturally, the way they move through the world with quiet resilience, their tough exteriors and their soft hearts, their loud laughs and the silent comfort that their presence brings a room. i love how i fit with a butch. how my femininity is bolstered by their masculinity and vice versa. the electricity that passes between us when we spot the other across a crowded room. i am so grateful for butches who let me be soft and gentle in a world that demands i be strong all the time. i daydream about how good my nails look on their biceps and how great my thigh looks in the passenger seat with a strong butch hand grabbing it. seeing their work boots at the front door, cooking for them after a hard day, smelling their cologne on my sheets. i love that our roles in the community perfectly compliment each other. i adore being a safe space for them to take off their armor and rest, heal, and feel cared for.

i just love everything about the butch identity and about butch/femme dynamics 💕

“violyn is happening too fast” YOU MEAN TO TELL ME IF A 6FT TALL FEMME LESBIAN TOP SHOWED UP AT YOUR JAIL CELL BUSTED YOU OUT ILLEGALLY AND THEN SAVED YOUR LIFE TWO TIMES IN A ROW AND STUCK BY YOUR SIDE EVEN THOUGH YOUR SISTER IS KINDA FUCKING WACK AND DID I MENTION SHE’S HOT YOU W O U L D N ‘ T CATCH FEELINGS REAL FAST???

AND ON THE FLIP SIDE. IDK ABT YOU BUT IF I MET A BUFF BUTCH LESBIAN WITH ANGER ISSUES TRAUMA AND A HEART OF GOLD AND SHE COULD KICK MY ASS IF SHE WANTED TO AND SHE PINNED ME AGAINST A WALL IN A BROTHEL I WOULD FALL DOWN LIKE FIFTEEN FLIGHTS OF STAIRS. caitlyn is stronger than all of us for not disintegrating on the spot during that scene like omg-

ANYWAY JUST SAY YOU’RE HOMOPHOBIC

i’m only seeing this right now, but holy….&!&$!@$’

this is the one thing i need in my life other than good grades

Any ideas for efficient breaks between study sessions?

I’m a pro at this;

For a 5 minutes breaks;

Clean your desk. This is very important because you would want to have a clean space when you want to return to studying. It’ll also help you focus more.

Grab a healthy snack. Carrots and nuts are my favorite snacks tbh. 

refill your bottle of water.

Solve a rubix cube (if you know how to solve it)

Check your email or messages, but make sure you don’t spend more than 5 minutes. Just reply to the important ones.

Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee.

For 10-15 minutes breaks;

Prepare some oatmeal! I love oatmeal and I always have some during my break. It’s very nutritious and it wakes you up frankly.

Have a shower. Sometimes when I’m sleepy, I just take a short shower, usually moderately cold, maybe even warm, and change into fresh clothes. That boosts my level of concentration AND makes me feel amazing.

Tidy your room. This is a nice way to control the mess and it sets you in a better mood, knowing that everything is in place and neat. 

Call a friend! You sometimes need to chat with someone that makes you feel happy.

Watch a youtube video (preferably motivational). This is what I do most of the time. It really gives me a boost of motivation and kind of reminds me why I’m doing what I’m doing. Why I shouldn’t stop.

Exercise; some yoga sequences, crunches, squats, ANYTHING REALLY! Maybe practice your splits or bridge. I don’t know, just MOVE your body. I frankly dance. I just place some music and start to choreograph to it. Or I also practice my kicks for karate (trying to get them higher than usual). Just do any kind of exercise that moves your body.

For 20-40 minutes breaks;

POWER NAP YAASSS. If you feel too tired, just sleep. Tell someone to wake you up in 20 minutes or so. but don’t exceed the 40 minutes or else you would wake up tired rather than energized. Tbh, a 20 minutes power nap is the best option.

Read a chapter from your favorite book. Just one chapter yeah?

Prepare lunch, or dinner. I honestly just go heat up my food and eat it, or maybe actually prepare some (noodles bruh). and then I watch something while I’m eating, like a part of that musical I’ve been wanting to watch (Heathers is what I’m currently watching).

Prepare next week’s spread. I tend to do that during the weekends.

Skincare! Since I have rosacea (it sucks), I use this time to wash my face, apply a face mask, then wash my face AGAIN then put some serum to regenerate the skin. Not only is this good for my skin, but it also makes me more relaxed.

Go outside! go to the library, the coffee shop, the grocery store, the park. ANYTHING. You need fresh air. 

For 1-2 hours break; 

THIS IS THE MOST YOU CAN GET.

Watch a movie. Preferably something that doesn’t have sequels. 

Watch an episode or two from your favorite show. if the episode is for 1 hour or more (Sherlock or GOT) you probably should watch one episode.

Go out. Have lunch with a friend, or by yourself (quality time aye)

Go shopping!

Write. I have a two hours break every Saturday and Sunday to write.

Clean up your closet. You probably have many shirts and pants that don’t fit you anymore, so why not give them to someone that actually needs them?

This is what I can think of at the moment. Hope they’re useful!

And remember to actually be productive for you to take a break yeah?
