When did you see her last?

how insidious to make young girls buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, to force them to read up on its theory, to make them practice it for hours in order to escape mockery, to make them feel safe only when performing this hyper femininity, and then to even have the audacity to package it in feminist language so that they firmly believe it sets them free.

i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster

we all need to practice saying “I hadn’t thought of it like that” “I hadn’t seen it that way before” “I must have misunderstood the first time I heard about it” “if I had known those facts I wouldn’t have thought like I did”

“But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”

Me after 1 drink at a party: guess I’ll be the deliverer of poignant truths

[nobodysflower]

a girl falls

down a rabbit hole

past a hidden door

through a looking glass

under a spell

a girl finds

a skeleton key

a hidden treasure

a lost crown

a secret

a curse

a girl fights. a girl learns. a girl returns. less timid than before. no stronger than she was to begin with.

And then I realise that the shell is empty. There’s no point to any of this, it’s all a random lottery of meaningless tragedy in a series of near escapes // Reality Bites.

when i was younger i never used to lick the yoghurt off of yoghurt lids cause i saw a documentary once and in it there were clips of bears rootling through people’s bins and in one of them a bear found a yoghurt lid and was licking the yoghurt off. i would be like “this is for the bears” and scoop a lil extra onto the lids before i put them in the bin, mum kept telling me “bears dont live here!” but i kept doing it… just in case
