I hate being asked if I have a boyfriend. That implies that it's something I should need or want. "Do you have love in your life?" is a question that sounds similar on the surface, but it's a million times better. Love doesn't have to be a relationship. It can be friendship, family, pets, or self-love. Love coming from anywhere is good. I don't need to be dating anyone to be surrounded by love.

I've noticed so many people from my school get pregnant shortly after they graduate. Why would you go through with that? You're practically still a kid yourself. Why don't you prioritize education or a career? If you're fresh out of high school, I doubt you have much sorted out financially, and you've likely either just started living on your own or haven't gotten there yet. In what world is that a good time to throw a child into the equation?

I'm 18 and have some family members, and (unfortunately) already a couple friends who have recently gotten pregnant. They sometimes send me photos of their belly and I don't know what to say. Usually, I just ask a random question related to their pregnancy. A few months ago, my mom and I were with my pregnant aunt and my mom was cooing over how cute the "baby bump" was. What do you mean? It's just a body part. It's about as cute as an elbow.

Why do you need another person to make YOU feel complete? I AM complete. I AM ME! Your partner is not supposed to be an extension of yourself. I've heard some people say they feel like they're missing a part of themselves without a partner. Some people are actively chasing the prospect of a relationship, and I wonder why. I am happy living with myself and having no one but me to worry about!

Buff-alo

I'm AFAB, and I don't really mind that I look like a girl on the outside. I think my female face and body look good, and sometimes I like to wear bold outfits, but sometimes it feels like I'm just putting makeup and clothes on an avatar. I don't mind being addressed with she/her pronouns because I feel like it makes sense. But when someone calls me something like "girl" (as in "girl please") or "girlie", it bothers me because it doesn't feel right for some reason. I often use masculine words or phrases to refer to myself (examples: "I am the king of puns" or "I'm not a McDonald's kind of guy") and like when other people use those terms as well. I only feel like a woman as far as my appearance and body go. I don't believe in souls or spirits but I feel like if I had one, mine would be male. The only thing is that I don't necessarily feel gender dysphoria. I'm kind of just used to being a woman.

I know of songs that are split into two distinct halves. Are there any songs where there is a distinct segment of music in the middle?
