respect the journey.

honestly some of y’all want a significant other so badly and can’t understand why you can’t find one, but have no sense of boundaries or healthy expectations of what a relationship is like. in a committed long-term partnership you get left on read, you wait for texts back, and you can forget about each other when you’re busy. sometimes you fall asleep without saying goodnight and sometimes you’re too caught up to text each other before 6pm. that’s how it is. thinking that you can’t be deeply, beautifully in love and still wait more than “1.75 hours” for a text back is such an unhealthy and unreasonable expectation of what love is, and you shouldn’t be in a relationship if you can’t allow the other person to exist on their own apart from you. if you’re projecting your anxieties and insecurities onto a partner who doesn’t even exist yet, then you aren’t ready for one.

Pls teach your son how to apologize.

Pls teach your daughter to not measure her strength by how much pain she can endure

PLEASE tell me if I’m fuckin up. I’d much rather be told i’m wrong up front than silently filed away under “P for Problematic”

pretty

Love?

not gonna lie i am so scared and sorry for the 13 and 14 year old girls today

this isn’t about anything specific other than the fact that men are getting increasingly more and more bold in being predatory and these little girls are impressionable and it’s scary as hell cause That was me and i can’t HELP any of them because none of them will listen. at that age you just wanna be seen as pretty and mature and older & will swoon over any guy who makes you feel like that even if they’re six years your senior. so i’m scared as shit but that’s just me

especially now, because girls are being pressured younger and younger to look mature and wear all this makeup and whatnot in the age of “IG baddies.” stuff like that (the beauty industry, run with men in mind) is being marketed towards them. it’s disheartening because these girls don’t get to be kids. there are so many horrible things that have been repackaged as the new #feminist empowerment thing (i.e. extremely high standards for makeup) and now you have literal fucking pedophiles, worse than before, openly claiming that identity and feeling shameless because these girls look “grown enough.”

I could go for some mangos right now

that’s honestly excellent advice 

this is 100% true tbh
