Late Night Thoughts by Kimber

I'll let you in on a little secret- being a lesbian isn't really any different from being straight if you get right down to it. Girls can break your heart, play games, and mess you up the same way a guy can. I feel like it's a misconception that "dating another girl is easier".  Being with someone, whether it's a girl with a guy, a guy with another guy, or a girl with another girl, isn't easy. Loving someone.... Feeling like they make up a part of you that you'd be lost without, whether they feel the same or not, is probably one of the worst and best feelings that there is.  I know it is for me. Fighting that battle every day between throwing up those walls that you feel are so necessary for your survival, and tearing them down to let someone in because you crave their existence in your life- it'll break away at you piece by piece until you don't know which way is up. I like to refer to it as under my skin. Because I feel like it eats away at me. And it's addicting. And once someone is under my skin, it's a hell of a battle to get them out.
