Lavender Haze

"Lavender Haze" was referenced by gay poet James Schuyler (the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry winner of 1981) in his poem "Sunday". There is no official quote from him as to why he used the term "lavender haze", but the color has a long history of being associated with the LGBT+ community.
"Sunday" by James Schuyler

The mint bed is in
bloom: lavender haze
day. The grass is
more than green and
throws up sharp and
cutting lights to
slice through the
plane tree leaves. And
on the cloudless blue
I scribble your name.

to all the boys i've loved before

The best romcom that has come out in a while. Includes the dreamy Peter K who falls and love with Lara Jean (who was never second best). You'll fall in love with the movie and all of it's actors especially when Peter puts his hand in LJ's pocket and spins her around. To all the boys is MUCH better than the kissing booth. If you haven't read the books then you're really miss out because they are so much better than the movie (even though the movie was AMAZING).
"Have you seen to all the boys i've loved before? Well you could really say that Peter K took her to the ski lodge and freaked it."
