real women
Posted on June 23, 2011
Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small...

Anonymous asked: It's actually not out of cowardice... at least, not primarily. I just thought if you could match a face to the sentiment, it would seem even more like a gratuitous compliment meant solely to cheer you up. The fact is, /I/ can't take a compliment. If it's from a stranger, I appreciate it but can't react to it appropriately; if it's from a friend, I smile and say thanks,...

There comes a time once a month (not that it’s ever that regular for me, but I’ll pretend it is so you know what I’m talking about) when I hate being a cis female. Because as much as I appreciate my femininity and realize my cis privilege, this shit sucks. It’s painful and inconvenient and uncomfortable and annoying and messy and gross and I don’t like it.

white privilege is watching the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony and hearing the British and American commentators poke fun at the names of African and Asian countries and constantly refer to their negative downfalls (poverty, war, crime etc.) while they hold their flags. Meanwhile, European countries and the United...

I just had a productive non-upsetting conversation with my ex for the first time in like ever and it was good, I’m happy about how it went, we also discussed some things that were important, she didn’t upset me, I don’t think I upset her… I am completely happy with how this conversation went.
But I slightly still feel like crying, just a little bit.
Maybe...

It is now 2:30 am. I just finished cleaning my kitchen, and will most likely get a lecture in the morning for not cleaning it well enough. My hand is bleeding in two places and it hurts to stand up. Guess it’s time to go to bed.

Closure is a motherfucker.
Closure will tell you to meet it at the bus stop at 6:30, and you’ll think Closure means 6:30 that day, but it really meant 6/30 as in June 30th, and didn’t specify the year.
Perhaps you’ll ask your ex to meet you at The Olive Garden and bring Closure with him, but he’ll stupidly bring Closure’s evil twin Openature and you’ll be left wondering why Closure...

Where is everything else that is who I am?

rubatosis
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat, whose tenuous muscular throbbing feels less like a metronome than a nervous ditty your heart is tapping to itself, the way people hum to themselves while walking in complete darkness, as if to casually remind the outside world, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.

Why do I even bother?

I need to stop going to things alone because I’m too awkward and I always leave them slightly wanting to cry even if I liked where I was (i.e. a concert) so I wish people would just invite me to go to things with them, because I know I will never invite other people (because I assume they wouldn’t want to go with me, or that they’re busy, or that they’ll think...
