My daughter just moved her sweet, vanilla boyfriend into her dorm for the semester. Came home to this empty, sterile apartment and the silence is fucking deafening. I can hear the fridge hum. It’s pathetic. I used to fill a whole goddamn house with laughter and noise and life. Now I just fill my own holes when the loneliness gets to be too much. There’s a special kind of self-disgust that comes from riding a dildo on the living room floor, imagining it’s a man who’s too scrawny to actually pin you down, just so you can feel something other than the quiet. The fantasy is so much better than the reality of cold silicone and your own fucking thoughts. #EmptyNest #JustVibesAndVibrators #TheSoundOfSilenceIsDeafening #LivingAlone
