As I sip my free ice water at a local film festival screening my work, I sit with several hours of downtime before the big award ceremony. I so wish I could have brought a significant other to an event like this…my art is a reflection of me and sharing that with a romantic partner is a uniquely special experience.
Moreover, I yearn for a partner who I can support in that same way. Whether they’re passionate about the arts or something else, investing romantic energy into a passionate person is perhaps the most important thing I look for in a relationship.
As I sit in that all too familiar sapphic yearning, Cupid appears to me. He’s like a weird baby creature with an absurdly large smile filling his cheeks. Since I’m from Jersey he appeared to me in the egg sandwich I just ate.
“Go back to that one subreddit!” Cupid shrieks in a whimsically high-pitched voice. Think King Candy from Wreck-It-Ralph. “Maybe this time you’ll find the one!”
“Mayhaps,” I say, taking a bite from my sandwich. “After all, I’m feeling ready to date again.”
Cupid gives me a little peck on the cheek and an onion. I’m not sure what to make of these gifts. He flaps his wings and leaves through the window. I hit post on a new lesbianr4r attempt.
