just4hugs

After some insane conversations with guys on dating apps this song kinda spoke to me recently.

I think astrology is pure hokum and I was in my late teens before I knew I was a Sagittarius. But I’ve found that a lot of guys I talk to are really into it even if they don’t believe it’s real. I’ve even been told all sorts of things I say/do is classic Sagittarius behavior and I just stupidly agree to make them happy. My frustration when I found out I have a whole list of signs and some guys are not happy unless I know all of them was probably just me throwing a classic Sagittarius fit.

Face full of tackle My freshman roommate in college was always doing that. I was so deep in the closet then he had no idea the show he was putting on for me. That being said I’m loving this story so far.

I’ve been adjusting the last few weeks to working 12 hour night shifts so I sleep a lot of the day even on my days off. YouTube has helped when I get bored, but it’s really weird the rabbit holes you can go down. I was watching Spanish language videos to help keep me proficient, which led to videos on tiktok dances I could practice (don’t judge). Somehow I ended up finding a short video archived from tiktok on cooking. Now I’m subscribed to dozens of cooking channels and trying to make something new once per day. Overnight I made biscuits and gravy from scratch for the first time in my life. I grew up eating this at my grandparents house. I’ll admit it wasn’t as good as grandma’s but practice makes perfect!

I was really into this guy but it was never going to work out the way I’d hoped it would. I still think about him a lot even though I wish I didn’t. I find myself identifying with the lyrics of this song a lot.

I absolutely love this song even though it's not really about chicken tendies which I love. It makes me think about this guy I dated for a while my sophomore year. I didn't have any money or a car and I felt the whole time that I wasn't good enough for him. I lost touch with him after he graduated, but I hope he's happy.

Nursing, and thanks 🙂

I just never thought I’d be so into a song created for a video game. If you saw my Spotify activity list it’s embarrassing the number of times I’ve listened to it and the other songs on the album. Happy you enjoyed it.

I feel a bit ridiculous posting this song, but the game League of Legends made up a band called K/DA and I'm really into the music since it features artists I like. I keep listening to their songs on repeat on Spotify. This is my favorite one off the album.

I did check to see if "Justin" was available when I joined but it wasn't so I used a username I came up with for another site based on an experience from high school. My username represents Justin 4 Hugs. Junior year I got in trouble for hugging a girl in the hallway. We were just friends that had known each other since preschool. A teacher caught us hugging and we were punished under their policy of no public displays of affection. Yes it was a long hug and I might've slightly picked her up off the ground as part of it, but there wasn't anything remotely romantic about it. I suggested later at lunch that I run for student council and fight the tyranny of the anti-huggers.

Several of us went together to get HBO Max just to see WW84 but I've been using it to watch DC's Titans. I'm also really into Great British Bake Off and it has absolutely everything nothing to do with the fact that each season has at least one hot guy on it. Seriously though as someone that didn't learn to cook growing up and eats a majority of his meals through campus dining I sure have a lot of opinions about what they're making.

Over winter break I read the first three books in the series A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons. The series hasn’t been what I initially expected but I’ve found myself pulled in despite that. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the ending of the third book and how she’ll move forward with the series. I will say that the series name is a bit misleading. This past weekend I finished Shorefall, which is book 2 in the Founders series by Robert Jackson Bennett. I cannot recommend this series enough. I absolutely love it and can’t wait for the next book to come out.

The message I got upon joining suggested I come here to introduce myself so here I am! My name is Justin and I start my final semester of college tomorrow. I’ve been getting into gay fiction over the last year but I’ve not joined until now. I’ve visited the site a few times, but today’s visit was different. I started reading The Best Year by Krista today and I found myself caught up in the story and read all 30 chapters. I really didn’t plan on spending hours reading but that’s what happened. I saw myself in the characters and could only pull myself away long enough to go eat some dinner. I look forward to reading more stories and hopefully connecting with them as I did this one today. 🙂
