The guilt of being the daughter who loves her family but breathes easier when she’s far away

I hate lustful men like do u even know i press flowers between the pages of books

hey, I was just at "things got better" island and everyone there is talking about how excited they are to meet you

This may sound preachy, but if you’re in your teens or 20s please take care to develop the habit of speaking positively about people behind their backs. Gossip is unavoidable, and yes it does allow people to bond, and yes some people deserve to be shit talked. But I think being negative about things is literally just nature, whereas trying to be positive about things and people is a quality you have to be very intentional about . If this does not apply to you, good for you. But for most people I think it does. Im not lauding toxic positivity so much as saying that if there’s space to speak positively about someone behind their back, it’s better to take that route.

The older I get the more convinced I become that the most genuinely attractive quality a woman can have is the visible impression that her life is full without you in it. Not performed aloofness, not manufactured scarcity, not games, an actual life with actual substance and actual joy that does not have a vacancy sign hanging in the window waiting for someone to come along and make it worthwhile. That quality is built through the accumulation of genuine experiences, genuine interests, genuine friendships, genuine ambitions, and it cannot be faked in any sustained way because it is either there or it is not. Build the life first. The rest follows from that and follows easily.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
