That's so mean aye.

Growth is painful. Change is painful.But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

Trying to keep up with your workout fiend friend at the gym

When you're on day 1 of a new diet

Women are a balancing act Don’t eat too much, don’t eat too little. Don’t be fat, don’t be too skinny. God do you ever stop eating? Woah do you ever eat? The not-so-well-concealed looks of disgust, the not-so-well-concealed looks of concern. Don’t be loud. Don’t be quiet. Have a voice in society, leave the talking to the big boys. You want something, speak up! No, no, when it’s your turn, sweetie. Ugh, she never shuts up, it’s obnoxious. Have you ever heard her talk? I don’t even know what her voice sounds like. Make sure your skirt is long enough, but not too long. Don’t make yourself too available, but you don’t want to look like a grandma. Show off what you got, but if you do it’s your fault if anything happens. Was your skirt long enough? How is any boy going to look at you if you wear that? Have sex, but stay innocent. Give us what we want, but we hate sluts. Virgins are so sweet. What do you mean you want to stay abstinent until marriage? Do you even live in our society? Live without sex is boring. Life with sex is disgusting. God, have you seen her? She’s banged every guy in the school. God, have you seen her? Still a virgin at her age. Be smart, but not too smart. Boys like a smarter girl. Boys can’t stand it when you know more than them. Play dumb. Ugh, not that dumb, god, weren’t you even listening? They like a smarter girl. No, no, now you just look like a nerd. Girls don’t belong in the classroom, they have to take care of the kids. You want a well-paying job? Take some incentive and study. You can’t slack off because your a girl. Do what you love, but don’t. Be yourself, unless it goes against what we say. Do you love to do your hair and makeup? Great, you’re good to go. Approved. Do you love videogames and guns? You’re faking it. You’re lying. You’re pretending. You’re wrong

This year you will make it again, this time more gracefully. More whole, more you, more menacingly. You will stop chasing ghosts, stop being negative, stop giving others the responsibility to make you happy. You will know better than to cover up the emptiness by setting fire to yourself. This year will not be another excuse. You will feel, you will bleed, and you will not not not be another’s mistake. You will learn how to breathe more gently, say more of “I” and less of “you”, and when you feel like a wreck remember -summer boils in my blood and it and I alone can melt the loneliness away. This year you will survive survive survive survive, even if you have to crawl all your way to the end. So if you’re stuck inside the horrors of your own head - either find the light or create your own sunshine. This year you will fight. You will be alive.
