Hey, that doesn't sound pretentious! Labels ARE stupid. Which isn't to say that people who identify as any one thing are stupid, or that identity is irrelevant- it's just that the words we have at our disposal to describe those things are pretty inadequate and fail to address grey areas and idiosyncrasies.
you know, there ARE all these people out there who, in spite of statistics and baffling traditions, really genuinely do WORK. It kind of makes me stupidly happy in a way that isn't even especially OH MAN VICARIOUS JOY.
Man, I know what you mean! When I see people like that, people who really work and suit each other... it's not really vicarious joy, or longing, or anything really. It just makes me happy deep down in my ~soul. Because, um, I'm a mushball.
