Idk if anyone is out there reading this, I took like a 5 year break from Tumblr (oops). Anyways I had a really good run this morning with my dog and then today I found out my mom has cancer and my sister probably has covid.
Gonna run a lot tomorrow.
Life is hard.
Winter is:
The sound of a fire crackling in your living room
Fuzzy socksÂ
Red noses
The warm glow of yellow lights beckoning you inside
A crisp breeze
Soups and stews with warm bread
Steam rising out of tea
Books, stacked in a pile in your room
Hugs, forehead kisses and cuddles
Sleeves pulled over fingers
Tights and fuzzy boots
Perfect snowflakes
Grey skies
Cozy cafes
Hot cocoa
Board games
Stories read aloud
Skating
Perfect naps
Old records
Classic movies
Piles of blankets
Naked trees
Snow angels
Family time
First kisses
Warm pies
Home Alone reruns
EggnogÂ
Patterned sweaters
Candles and fairy lights
Cinnamon and Allspice
Warm milk
The warm light of the moon
Cold wind
Scarves and gloves
Talking
Hot baths
Popcorn
Pajamas
Art
The end that promises a great beginning
Rebirth
i miss u so effin much
shek ma shiraki anni
all i want is a partner who is way out of my league but thinks that iâm way out of their league and weâll live together in perfect confused harmony with a dog
once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder youâll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! itâs now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!
I want to live here! :DÂ
push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.
push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.
get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.
stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.
buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.
buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.
strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.
organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you donât want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.
have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.
push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dogâs behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.
message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you donât follow through. push yourself to follow through.
think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.
become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.
lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasnât a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

This post was so damn confusing, I scrolled up and down multiple times before finally giving up trying to understand, reaching the bottom, and realizing what it was all about.
'Tell me what happens the first time you see a woman naked.' 'The first time you see a woman naked will not be like you imagined. There will be no love, no trust, no intimacy. You wonât even be in the same room as her. You wonât get to smile as she undresses you and you undress her. You wonât get to calm her nerves with nerves of your own. You wonât get to kiss her, feeling her lips and the edge of her tongue. You wonât get to brush your fingers over the lace of her bra or count her ribs or feel her heartbeat. The first time you see a woman naked you will be sitting in front of a computer screen watching someone play at intimacy and perform at sex. She will contort her body to please everyone in the room but her. You will watch this woman who is not a woman, pixelated and filtered and customized. She will come ready-made, like an order at a restaurant. The man on the screen will be bigger than you, rougher than you. He will teach you how to talk to her. He will teach you where to put your hands and he will teach you what youâre supposed to like. He will teach you to take what is yours. You must unlearn this. You must unlearn this twisted sense of love. You must unlearn the definition of pleasure and intimacy you are being taught. Kill this idea of love, this idea of entitlement, this way of scarring one another.â
this scared me and made me cry and i am almost embarrassed to post this but quite honestly i would rather fight for this rather than anything else.
men and womens value, and the indescribable importance of intimacy

Oh Jesus Christ this hurts too damn much

Started this year off on the wrong foot in a big way. Not feeling very happy about it. When is 2016 going to get here so I can forget this already?
my name is BABY and you lean out of your car and spit at my feet it lands in a puddle in front of me and i am thirteen and in a suburban neighborhood on the way home from school and i gag and run with my backpack banging like the echo of your words against my back like you are chasing me all the way home my name is SWEETIE and i am fifteen in the city with my friends for the first time and we get a little lost and you follow us for a full block you name my friends HONEY and DARLING and WHY THE FUCK WONâT YOU TALK TO ME my name is NICE ASS and itâs two in the afternoon and i still feel my heart slam against my ribs because i am under a hundred and fifty pounds and i have weak lungs and weaker fists and while you saunter down the steps, swinging the beer bottle in your fist, my father who is walking behind me shouts, âsheâs seventeen, you dipshitâ and maybe iâm near my family but i donât feel safe until weâre home again my name is JAILBAIT and my friend is laughing and we just graduated high school and we feel like we are on the brink of something beautiful and terrifying and she is in heels and about to throw up and you name her DRUNK ENOUGH and i have to physically drag you off and when we go home she cries for four hours because a night that should have been just teenage fun almost resulted in the end of her trust of humans my name is LOOK AT THOSE TITS and we are on a college campus and the boy i am with holds onto my waist just a little tighter while you drive up next to me. you name him THUG and throw a bottle at his forehead. i canât stop shaking until long after itâs over. he says âit happens,â and i say, âit shouldnât.â my name is DAMN GIRL and we are walking down the street. there are ten of you and two of us and you snap a picture when you think weâre not looking. you tell us to either come inside or youâll fuck us on the street. you all laugh like this is funny. this is compliment. this is just something boys do to get ladies. my name is LITTLE LADY, my name is FINE MISS, my name is FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR FRIENDS, my name is LOOK ME IN THE FACE, my name is STOP FROWNING, my name is SMILE, my name is WHY DID YOU EVEN GLANCE AT HIM YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT, my name is THIS IS A COMPLIMENT so i looked it up according to Oxford thatâs âa polite expression of praise or admirationâ i think youâve got the definitions mixed up my name is PRETTY THING, my name takes nice words and make them into bullet wounds my name is NICE BODY and no girl i know has dated a man who catcalled her, my name is GREAT RACK and it turns out that if you shout things at a stranger, they sound like knives more than flowers, my name is WOMEN LIKE YOU NEVER KNOW THEIR PLACE and every single âniceâ thing you say to a woman is something youâd never utter to another man because you know that itâs derogatory, my name is PRINCESS and A REASON TO GET PUT IN PRISON and if another man spoke to your mother sister girlfriend like that, youâd kill him my name is SEXY and every time i hear someone raising their voice i am thirteen again and i donât know who you are and iâm running home with a weight on my shoulders and your words like a slap to my spine and your laughter like a hanging, i am scared and alone and suddenly so small, and compliments are supposed to make me feel good not afraid for my life, compliments are a way of saying âi care and i appreciate you and i thought you should know it,â and if you really meant it as a compliment, youâd care about how i would take it - but you donât mean it like that, you mean it to show off, you mean it to make us object, you mean it to shove our names into your back pocket so you can tell your friends âi saw the HOTTEST LITTLE THING yesterdayâ and they can be groan about how we just walked away because you donât see us go home with keys in our fists and all the lights on and we keep 911 dialed just in case and we triple-check our locks and we donât fall asleep at all because your compliment knocked us over and took who we are if we are all saying âit doesnât sound like a compliment, it sounds like a threat,â if you really wanted to make us feel good - wouldnât you stop doing it?
