That heartbreak of falling for someone who could never live fully in their truth, is like NONE other. It’s a deep pain that’s so unfair

[@capri8438]

So true, messes with you mind constantly.😔

[@mauimonique]

T Capri Yesssss. Likeee we could be so good if you were just REAL but some things aren’t meant to be.

[@Gifted.LIl.Thang884]

@@mauimonique some just find it harder than others to come to terms with themselves.. but trust wen ur with them it's almost like being swallowed up by ecstacy.. muched on by sensuality and lightly kissed by emotions. Setting the soul and mind on fire. Just be patient with the person if they are what you really want. Ntn good ever comes easy..

[@mauimonique]

Apple 884 This is EXACTLY how it is. I’ve let go of the past, I only want ppl around me that can free themselves outside of our “union” ya know? Does that make sense?

[@Gifted.LIl.Thang884]

@@mauimonique freeing oneself is not an easy task.. I always say put yourself in the other persons shoes..if u were faced with their situation, what would you do.. do u think u would be brave enough to own ur feelings or would u be just as scared of worst than how they are feeling. At times people speak it easy, "be yourself, don't only be like that around me" have u ever thought the huge struggle it was for them to have been pulled towards a person they never expected to be pulled to.. like they have no control of wanting that person, wanting to have the person with them in their minds. Thoughts, day dreams, subconscious, just to come to the realization that that person moves their soul in such a way causing a rift of butterflies that cannot be denied no matter how hard u try ..it's like banking a cake and one ingredient is missing and that person is the missing ingredient just epic..

[@BHeru-wq5kv]

Loved the attention to detail and care taken to express each situation. Navigating exes that you still love, but should stay away from, tasting the forbidden fruit. The promises/plans that come from lesbian relationships (lumping in identities), and how accelerated they are, many times ultimately never panning out, and there's always one left "carrying the bag". It wasn't "Hollywood perfect" where flaws don't exist, even when things are broken. I mean, I've seen parents with nice cars w/ juice stains, crumbs that will forever be in the depths of the back seat, and those little window stickers in the back where their kid has decorated. That felt really authentic. The Actors of course did their thing, Zuri and Dascha are easy on the eyes. Major kudos to Sh00ter, the Cinematographer, the Writer, Oh Muh God, the writing 😍, and the behind the scenes folks who usually don't get the shine, because they contributed to this feeling familiar. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They need to make an urban version of the L Word. More realistic with believable Black and Latino/Chicano folks. I see so many amazing shorts and KZbin produced series feature real women of color in our own terms. Why can’t major networks see the value?
