“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”

— Lora Mathis, If There’s A Way Out I’ll Take It (via quotefeeling)

Forgiving people in silence and never speaking to them again is a form of self care.

I love daydreaming and not having to participate in life

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

and you aren’t stupid for having trouble articulating yourself.

“Most girls and women understand the risks they take when they become angry. No matter how justified, appearing angry won’t do her any favors and will actually undermine people’s perception of her competence and likeability. Studies show that when men are angry, people tend to lose their own confidence and defer to men’s opinions. When women are angry, the opposite happens. Studies also reveal that people will opt to work for angry-sounding aggressive men, but not with angry-sounding aggressive women.”
