The most romantic love is the one that stays.

I hate having an internal monologue. Girl shut the fuck up.

I’ve never been betrayed by my dog. Can’t say that about most people. And maybe that’s why I love him the most.

But you held me anyway

I hate shopping. It doesn’t bring me joy the way it does for others. But I do love buying, receiving and being in the presence of books. Maybe it’s because one can never really “own” a book. It’s a shared, expansive imaginary space captured in a tiny form of a book.

No man can ever understand female anatomy. He could be a gynecologist and he still won’t get it. Not physically, not mentally, not emotionally. He can’t possible understand the Petri dish of a man’s crimes, the hormonal tsunami or the weight of the fucking world.

We all end up miserable When we choose to live the life that makes others happy.

- If it’s my life, should I be the one who has a say?

If your family has people that are “family”, they’re family too.

- family is everything they say

My siblings are my children.

Kindness is the most overrated thing in life.

The thing I hate the most about myself is that I empathize with the humans who hurt me. It’s not that I’m trying to find excuses for them. It’s just that I see their trauma. I see that they were hurt and so they hurt me. It’s not fair. It’s not okay. It shouldn’t be justified. And yet, I still can see their pain. I just wish they saw mine too.

The voice of my mother in law makes every cell in my body shrivel.

- How can I hate the woman who gave me the love of my life.

I wish she accepted me and loved me like the way she would have her own daughter. But she never had a daughter and so she doesn’t know what it’s like to love a daughter. It’s not easy to love a daughter. It takes strength, it takes courage and more importantly it takes empathy. I’m a whole ass human being. Why is it so hard to see that?

[beneaththeblur]

It’s not a woman job to educate a man on how to be a decent human being.

- gender has nothing to do with humanity

[beneaththeblur]

Some days it feels like existing as a woman is the hardest thing to do.

I’m anchored by the same things that give me the wings to fly.

That’s why I stay still.

Floating, neither drowning nor swimming.
