Call me "honey" one more time. I dare you.

And that’s the trick, really— girlhood teaches us that all it takes is a small but beautiful offering and no one will notice you are already halfway gone.

I cried because I want my daughters to feel that blazing pride, that affirmation of their boundless capacity — not from their husbands, but from their world, from the atmosphere, from inviolable wells of certainty inside themselves. I cried because it’s not fair, and I’m so tired, and every woman I know is so tired. I cried because I don’t even know what it feels like to be taken seriously — not fully, not in that whole, unequivocal, confident way that’s native to handshakes between men. I cried because it does things to you to always come second.

Hilary Clinton, New York Times (via yesdarlingido)

Suddenly I realize / That if I stepped out of my body I would break / Into blossom.
