i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

How come none of the hyperfeminine liberal feminists who make themselves out to be femme fatales never actually attempt the fatale part? What's the point then? They're all girl no boss. All pretty no poison. Drawing your eyeliner with a kitchen knife that you use to cook meals for your husband isn't provocative in the slightest.
