Your heart is a weapon the size of your fist.

The anonymous love meme that i started on a whim one night has turned six years old today.

Happy birthday, love meme! Today, I’m thankful to all of you who have kept it going over the years, who have come there to share a bit of your heart.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates. Love to all.

(eta: because if you can’t post this picture today, when can you?)

Kiss kiss fall in love.

Ahhhh. Indulge me, flist.

My love letter meme. Nearly 2 years old. I go back all the time and reread letters. I’ve written at least ten letters myself on this meme, to people past, present, and future. All of those letters were cathartic in a way–and a little rueful, a little wishful, a little regretful, a little hopeful–maybe all at once.

There are 790 comments on this post. I want to know the rest of the story.

Are you still waiting for them?

Did they ever come home? Did he ever smile back? Did she ever find out? Did she get the one you wanted, and Did he want what you wanted? Is it as bad as you thought it would be? Are you still bitter? Are you still together?

Did you ever find the courage to tell them?

Did you find what you were looking for? Did you get your second chance? Are you surer now? Is her mind more open? Does he know you’ve forgiven him? Does he know you’re sorry? Did you tell each other goodbye? Who did they choose? Do you still lack confidence? Do you still feel the way you did then? Did they see your comment? Did you ever make a move? Did you ever get to find out? Did they ever call? Did you ever say it back? Do you still regret it? Does it still hurt?

Are you still surviving?
Are you still afraid?
Are you still at 100%?
Are you reconciled to what can’t be?
Are you still this happy?

Then there are the moments when you do learn the rest of the story, and it’s just as wonderful as you’d hoped it would be.

I love this meme. For moments like this, and for a million more.

Speaking of love, I worked on this a ton last week and I think I’m pretty much done with it, even though it sucks. I have to sing harmony with myself. It is compulsive. Me / J-pop = OTP.

eta: ahahaha, and also speaking of love, the OTP of all OTP’s. Oh Squidwarts. Long may you reign. ♥

Was just thinking about orphne’s anonymous meme.  And how much I love anonymous memes.  And I read a couple of comments there that got me  thinking, and suddenly I thought:  Anonymous love letters!  We have never done those, have we?

Insta-meme:

post an anonymous love letter in the comments here to the person who’s been on your mind.  Now’s your chance to pour out your heart and let someone know how much you really care.  You can write to your secret crush, your longtime lover, best friend, or to any other of the special people in your life.

I love anonymous memes! I love love letters! Surely this will be fun!

Post ‘em if you love ‘em!
