Oh, well.

I spent my teenage years and early 20s focusing and obsessing over how I look, and now at 27, I am finally falling in love with my personality and all of me. I realized my beauty (literally) is only scratching the surface of what's truly captivating about me.

girl who finally is going back to reading by finishing one book: now i'm going to read all the books in the world.

you can't girlboss your way out of the humiliation of performing femininity. miniskirts are supposed to humble you by having you stay alert to them riding up and exposing you. high heels are supposed to humble you by having you move carefully, wary of twisting an ankle (or stumbling and exposing yourself). make-up is supposed to humble you by having you control your feeding and resting habits, lest you smudge it. there's sexualization imbedded in them. they are SUPPOSED to embarrass you, because the ultimate titillation is the assertion of control over you. you can't desex them.

God, don't let my heart attach to what isn't mine

everything is a win when the goal is to gain experience and wisdom

Being desired means nothing if no one is curious about your mind.

being a bitch actually saves you a lot of time

they’ll think you’re a bitch anyway for having some reasonable boundary so you might as well just be a bitch sometimes and save yourself the trouble, the time, the energy, the money, etc

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

peace over proving a point

May your healing bring you back to the hobbies you once loved.
