love is why we are here

i’m done hearing about small pores, i’m done hearing about smooth legs, i’m done hearing about frizzy hair, about under eye bags, about dull skin, short eyelashes, waistlines... how many more years can women take this constant scrutiny? from ads on public transportation, sponsored posts on social media, tabloid covers in the checkout lines, our subconscious minds are regularly noting all these subtle accusations that we are falling short of our duty to the world to be attractive. i can’t even sit in my own goddamn home by myself and watch tv without some corporation trying to make bank by paying an unnaturally pretty model to practically laugh into the camera and point out another imperfection of mine. i’m tired and i’d like to go just one day without being reminded that i’m on display

For god’s sake if you aren’t Kashmiri please PLEASE talk about Kashmir. Kashmiris who are in Kashmir are facing vast media blackouts and have no means of digitally protesting this, nor do we have any idea what’s going on on ground. If you want to show solidarity...protest and talk, speak up

The last five months of 2018 are going to be filled with financial independence, true love, healing, and answered prayers
