I hate that the stock response for "I'm lonely/I feel undervalued by my loved ones/I want a romantic partner" is "well do you value YOURSELF? You need to learn to enjoy being alone!" as if lonely people aren't very intimately familiar with being alone. Self esteem and love are important but they're not substitutes for companionship or friendship or romance and pretending that loneliness is a personal failure that can be fixed by self-improvement feels not only delusional but pretty cruel

hate how almost every portrayal of a lesbian on mainstream tv is like literally just a straight woman who dates women. the writers clearly don’t care to take Any considerations into lesbian/lgbt culture or what our lives/dating is rly like. like even apart from them all being pretty feminine conventionally attractive white women in their thirties, they are literally always the straightest women you could possibly imagine. what’s the opposite of dykery. The utter dykelessness of these women
Can someone pls reply w that comic of the women watching TV that makes sense here, I can’t find it

I’m a full believer in doing small things for yourself to cultivate your soul without having to tell anybody especially in a day and age where people feel the need to capitalize on every aspect of themselves to create an aestheticized identity… like learning a language going on a run writing a poem practicing your craft going to a museum dancing for fun can and should give you personal fulfillment that doesn’t have to be presented through a lens or validated by an audience

no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons
Shoutout to the guys who have good hearts, are full of love, pursue women with honest and beautiful intentions, and treat women with respect.
you’ve heard of angry birds? HOWS ABOUT SINISTER BIRDS?!
“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.” - Sylvia Plath
Lessons I’ve learned:
1. Trust your instincts. You don’t need a reason to not like someone your body will tell you immediately whether they are good to have around or not.
2. Not everyone deserves a second chance. In fact, most people don’t. Most people will try to play you over and over again until you have nothing left to give.
3. You don’t have to sink to other peoples levels to get what you want. Be genuine, it might be a longer more lonely ride but the right ones will see your genuineness and gravitate.
4. Don’t fake it till you make it. Be genuine until you win.
