A desire for a more normal life does not necessarily mean identification with norms, but can be simply this: a desire to escape the exhaustion of having to insist just to exist.

بغز

Boghz, Farsi. Untranslatable word that describes the physical building of sorrow and pain in the throat or chest before crying.

I'm not exaggerating...

Friend that grew up poor: Ehh...pizza is on me this time. Don't worry about it ;)

Friend that grew up rich: We need to calculate the value of everyone's meals with an Excel spreadsheet. I can't let you borrow $2 for McDonald's because you forgot your wallet.

I feel like we should stop calling feminists ‘feminists’ and just start calling people who aren’t feminists ‘sexist,’ and then everyone else is just a human.

The only Yo Mama jokes I’ll accept.

Stop worrying about your identity and concern yourself with the people you care about, ideas that matter to you, beliefs you can stand by, tickets you can run on. Intelligent humans make those choices with their brain and hearts and they make them alone. The world does not deliver meaning to you. You have to make it meaningful…and decide what you want and need and must do. It’s a tough, unimaginably lonely and complicated way to be in the world. But that’s the deal: you have to live; you can’t live by slogans, dead ideas, clichés, or national flags. Finding an identity is easy. It’s the easy way out.
