A Day in the Life

I'm just a girl named Emily who grew up in Florida but is more at home in Boston. Here are some things that make me happy (or inspire other strong emotions).

I’m so here for “vain” girls. Girls who dab at their waterline because crying could mess up their make up. Girls who spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. Girls who worry about breaking their nails. Girls who worry if they don’t have exfoliating wash or lotion for a day. Girls who contour and girls who do face masks and girls who worry about missing a spot shaving and girls who get their eyebrows done. You’re capable of caring a lot about your appearance and other things, and caring a lot about your appearance does not make you bad, or shallow, or less deserving of respect.

it is so strange to me when people tell me they never had an ancient egyptian phase…like, what did you even do during your childhood?

I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, ‘Do you know how fabulous you are?’ I look back at pictures of myself and I remember thinking, ‘I was so fat when I was growing up. I was 165 pounds when I graduated from high school. I was a mess.’ And then I look back at pictures of myself, and I’m like, ‘You were fabulous.’ I wish I would have known that then.

But Elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her spirits; and having told all her griefs to Charlotte Lucas, whom she had not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular notice. The two first dances, however, brought a return of distress; they were dances of mortification. Mr. Collins, awkward and solemn, apologising instead of attending, and often moving wrong without being aware of it, gave her all the shame and misery which a disagreeable partner for a couple of dances can give. The moment of her release from him was exstacy.

We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.

Her astonishment at his coming - at his coming to Netherfield, to Longbourn, and voluntarily seeking her again, was almost equal to what she had known on first witnessing his altered behaviour in Derbyshire.

The colour which had been driven from her face, returned for half a minute with an additional glow, and a smile of delight added lustre to her eyes, as she thought for that space of time that his affection and wishes must still be unshaken. But she would not be secure.

“Let me first see how he behaves,” said she; “it will then be early enough for expectation.”
