TFW#2: TFW u catching feels

TFW u trying to ignore that it's Valentine's Day but can't stop evaluating your life in terms of #relationshipgoals in toxic self-defeating ways. TFW u don't like Valentine's Day but you definitely HATE Galentine's day. TFW u r married to the grind but also married to the state. TFW ur greatest partnerships are your friendships. TFW love is a lie. TFW love is full of radical possibilities esp when it encourages us to prioritize caring for each other. TFW we are pushed outside the confines of individualism and now the feels are catching.

TFW is a new reading series with a simple mission: We want to showcase the stuff you write on the low, the unpublished stuff that even your closest friends might not get a chance to read. Maybe these other writing practices aren't ~secret~ so much as they're not your ~main thing~. We hope that TFW will evolve into a space for stepping into other roles: where bloggers are poets and lyricists are essayists and grantwriters are playwrites, etc. We also just really wanted to create a space where writers from different circles can hang out, get to know one another, and share their work IRL, where it won't be permanently archived or cycled as content.
