The Red Door, 1978

if you can’t handle richard siken at his “i also want to get bruce wayne pregnant” you don’t deserve him at his “everyone longs for a father figure. even those with fathers. even fathers. that’s why we invented god.”

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.
