Once my boyfriend told me: “You’re not a burden. A burden is something you’re forced to carry against your will. I freely choose to be a part of your life and that means you aren’t a burden to me.” I’m passing it on in case some of you need to be reminded of that.
no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice
tom hardy saying he feels at odds with his status as a male action hero bc he feels “intrinsically feminine” is miles and miles more gender fuckery than anything harry styles has done in his entire career
boyband boy could never effortlessly be this
The full quote (asked if he had sex with men):
“Of course I have. I’m an actor for fuck’s sake. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine. A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don’t feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.”
