Three Simple Rules: 1. If you do not GO after what you want, you'll never have it. 2. If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO. 3. If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place. <3 <3 <3 "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

Watching a super hero movie directed by a woman is like putting glasses on for the first time.

I didn’t realize how much I had to squint through the “male gaze” till suddenly, miraculously, I didn’t have to.

There were absolutely NO eye candy shots of Diana. There were Amazons with ageing skin and crows feet and not ONE of them wore armor that was a glorified corset. When Diana did the superhero landing, her thigh jiggled onscreen.

Did you hear me? HER FUCKING THIGH JIGGLED. Wonder Woman’s thigh jiggled on a 20-foot tall screen in front of everyone.

Because she wasn’t there to make men drool. She wasn’t there to be sexy and alluring and flirt her way to victory, and that means she has big, muscular thighs, and when they absorb the impact of a superhero landing, they jiggle, and.that’s.WONDERFUL.

Thank you, Patty Jenkins, for giving me a movie about a woman, told by a woman,so I can see it through my eyes, not some dude bro who’s there for boobs and butts.

coffeeshop thoughts

I gained a bit of perspective tonight that I think will come in handy when I’m feeling sorry for myself about *still being single*. 

I’m sitting in this coffeeshop rewriting the introduction to my graduate capstone project and I look up and see a woman sitting alone, anxiously looking around waiting for someone to arrive. It was fairly clear she was meeting someone for a first date (which was later confirmed when said date showed up).

Meanwhile, I’m over here typing furiously and bobbing my head to whatever jam Pandora is playing me.

I’m not even sure I can put into words the “ah-ha” moment I seemed to have. It was like I realized that I, alone, am more important that who I am with someone else. Sure, I *knew* this, but it was just one of those moments where it really clicked, I guess.

There’s no greater satisfaction than doing something someone said you couldn’t do.

me before you

I’ve only just finished this unbelievably heartbreaking love story that has me gone through and entire box of tissues.

I think I’ve cried more tonight than the last time my own love life crushed my heart into a million pieces.

How are people okay with the fact that God does terrible things to test your faith? Honestly, God’s like that one friend that everyone has, who acts like a complete asshole, before saying, “Are we cool, bro?” And he keeps doing it over and over again, trying to test you, trying to see how far the friendship can be pushed, always asking, “Are we cool, bro?” And then, one day, you say, “No, we’re not cool, bro.” And then He throws a tantrum and creates the plagues.
