If you’re a dramatic (gay) arts person and the pandemic has ruined your potential for cinematic angst, consider doing what I’ve been doing since I was 16 and edgy and looking at The Unsent Project.

Love Letter #618
If I wrote you a love letter, it would start out like a country song. I’d say you remind me of the moon, full of the light I need. I’d tell you that you are cool like the night, and you soothe me. That I need you to rest easy. To dream. I’d say the days with you are like long rides thru winding roads. That I can’t get there fast enough when I’m coming for you. I’d say you are brighter than the neon in our favorite place. That your smile warms my heart, like the fireplace we cuddle next to. That you take care of me in a way that is music to my heart. I want to wake up next to you. Everyday. Every day. How I want to be what you want, because that’s what I want. That I miss you when you’re not here, and will kiss you when you are. I’d say you are mine and I am yours then, now, forever. As long as I live. How real love never goes away. Never dies, even if I do. If I wrote you a love letter, I’d tell you all this.
This is an attempt at a letter,
Paper, ink and feather,
Writing in the old ways to be a romantic.
I can’t say I know the game,
After a year it’s all the same,
You keep me going ever so ecstatic.
Who knows when our thing will end?
If the gods have another plan,
They better hold on tight and let me savor.
Because the feeling I felt,
When you showed up to make me melt,
Threw me into a neverending fever.
Lalala…
Lalala…
Lalala…
I found no other way,
Than to write to give some shape,
To this love, love unending, love that’s sending…
It’s sending me to outer space,
Where the stars are a reflection of your grace,
I look into the future through your eyes…
I look into the future through your eeeeyeeees…
The Love Letter (Detail)
Auguste Toulmouche, 1883
kill me and use my blood as ink to tell your lover how i was never enough for you
how do i write you a love letter if words are not enough to describe you
“It’s not that you ruined me. It isn’t, because I refuse to let my love be named anything other than courage and no one gets to take that away from me, not even you. I will not regret how deeply I loved you, even if it ended in my broken heart. So no, you haven’t ruined me. It’s just that every poem I write still tastes like you. And I am trying to change that. All while having grace in my heart while letting you go.”
-Nikita Gill, Excerpts from a book I’m writing
I’m in love with female senpai so haaaa
️ We wrote you a little letter to remind you that SO many people have your back:
On Tuesday, March 8, Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill passed the state Senate. If signed, which looks likely, “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity” in kindergarten through third grade would be banned.
This is disappointing and dangerous. It sends a message to LGBTQ+ youth that they aren’t important, and that their stories and experiences don’t belong in the classroom. Every time one of these bills passes, we get angry. In fact, in the time it took us to write and edit this post and send it out to our email list, Idaho’s House approved legislation “that makes it a felony for a doctor to provide age-appropriate, gender-affirming care for transgender children,” according to the HRC.
The hits seem to keep coming, and they aren’t showing signs of slowing down.
But as angry and as frustrated as we are and will continue to be, we are equally inspired and encouraged by the hundreds of thousands of students, teachers, and allies who are taking to the streets, walking out of schools, and standing up for the right to exist.
To the young LGBTQ+ people who are reading this, we hear you, we see you, and you are VERY important. We will continue to share your stories and amplify your voices.
This letter was originally written to introduce this week’s newsletter “Your Good Vibes Download,” which is just one of the ways we’re making sure people don’t just say “gay”, they celebrate it! Explore our library of It Gets Better stories, download our free educational resources, join us for new content daily on TikTok,Twitch,Instagram and more, learn about our 19 global affiliates, or enjoy one of our original content series.
There are so many ways the It Gets Better Project is working to create a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally and recognize their own worth and power. Because you’re worth fighting for. Because your stories and your experiences matter.
Stand proud!
