This is what most girls are taught—that we should be slender and small. We should not take up space. We should be seen and not heard, and if we are seen, we should be pleasing to men, acceptable to society. And most women know this, that we are supposed to disappear, but it’s something that needs to be said, loudly, over and over again, so that we can resist surrendering to what is expected of us.

I often say that reading and writing saved my life. I mean that quite literally.

books-n-quotes

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Here’s the thing, today is a shitty day for me, but that’s only because I was lucky enough to have a pretty great dad. Now, if you have a dad that doesn’t suck, please tell them something nice, give them a thumbs up, I don’t care, just appreciate them. And know that you’re very lucky to have them. Because honestly, there is nothing I wouldn’t give than be forced to sit down and listen to the entire @markknopfler_official library with my dad. #fathersday #deaddadsclub

Here’s to the amazing women who taught me to believe in my self worth, that being strong and independent is beautiful and to always stand up for what I believe in. I am so lucky. #happymothersday
