“Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience.”

Mary Wollstonecraft

[becherdireinen]

nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live in that space between "things will get better" and "i can't handle this anymore." it's like your emotions are constantly swinging. leaving you both hopeful and defeated in the same day.

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

Basically...... occasionally

The end

[southernsir-deactivated20191015]

Play as rough as you want but aftercare is always important.

[asubmissiveview]

I was not expecting that ending.

[addzeysatticofasinine]

Let that sink in.

[probuccalfat]

do not let anybody convince you that the world was built for two. do not ever ever buy into the idea that once you’re married or once you’re in a committed and long term relationship with somebody, that’s all you need to get by in life. do not let anyone convince you that you’re supposed to go at it alone either. do not let anybody make you believe that you’re better off alone. it’s no way to live. the world was built for communities full of love and compassion and the desire to extend oneself for the wellbeing of another. it is in your best interest and humanity’s best interest to learn how to be in communities again. do not let them take away from you what makes life transcendental and special.
