I know we don’t get happily ever afters in real life. I’m a hopeless romantic, not a total fucking idiot. As my friend, Russell, said to me once, “Even with the happiest couples, one of you dies first.” But first there is such unalloyed joy.
We went to the supermarket yesterday and we were wandering around and,
at one point, he took my hand, because that’s the kind of thing he does. And instantly, I got flustered. Residual anxiety. Remembrance of past battery. Enduring scars. Even though I know I’m hardly likely to get my head kicked in by the salad bar, PDAs can still make me nervous. And then he said, gentle as anything, and I’m not going to do the accent…
“If there’s a gay kid in here with his folks, frightened that he’s a freak, don’t you think that it might give him hope, seeing two guys wandering around, being themselves, getting their groceries, like everyone else?” If happiness is a place… it’s the biscuit aisle in Sainsbury’s. And anywhere else I am with him.
bless the people who make those youtube videos on how to do simple tasks and fix stuff. not for fame, not for money. just “here’s how to use wall spackle”, here’s how to clean and maintain a vacuum cleaner. having trouble with some assembly instructions? they’ve got you covered. no shame, no ‘just figure it out’. irl angels.
Your soul is always communicating with you. It tells you where it wants to go by making you aware of your interests, your desires, and what feels good to you. Follow your passions. When something stops bringing you joy, stop doing it. Shift and flow like the water.
“I went into this competition to find love and I’ve found that love for myself,” said a teary-eyed Minh Thu to the bachelor. “But it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else…”
She turned around to face Truc Nhu and Thu asked Nhu to return her rose and come home with her instead. The dramatic moment got even more tense when the bachelor chased Nhu backstage and convinced her to return to the competition.
But the gay agenda is powerful! Two episodes after Thu left, Nhu asked to leave the show because “she already found what she was looking for and it’s waiting for her at home.” Just like that, she and Thu began dating.
Six months later, fans are still following the couple’s relationship and an update on their status recently went viral again.
“Do y'all remember those girls on the bachelorette Vietnam who quit the competition because they fell in love with each other?” asks the tweet with over 27,000 likes. “I just found their Instagram and they’re still together! It’s so cute!!!!”
