A piece of advice I learned this week.

[craved-deactivated20230908]

In the end, always laugh. And do not lose this strange habit of having faith in life.

If I could, I would apologize to the sky and my room ceiling for all of the nights I’ve awkwardly stared at them remembering things I should have forgotten.

Maybe if I’d told you how hard it was for me to trust. Maybe if you’d told me how hard it was for you to open up. Maybe if we’d met after we had both done more growing. Maybe if it had all been different, we could have done it. We could have kept the smile on each other’s faces and the calm in each other’s hearts and everything could have been just fine. I used to think simple love wasn’t made for people like you and I, but now I think love just isn’t simple. Love takes patience, strength, kindness, trust. Love takes understanding, and you and I, my dear, never really made it there. We replaced emotional intimacy with the physical kind and figured it would all work itself out. Maybe in another life, we realized how foolish that was. In that life, I bet it’s still your bed I’m waking up in. In that life, I hope you’re letting me into your heart, your past, your sorrows, and I’m letting myself get invested, without expectation, without fear. I hope I’m letting myself admit how much I need you because baby, in this life, I did need you. Maybe one day, our paths will cross when the timing is better. Until then, in my admittedly tender heart, you will always be the one that got away.

One year ago I would have died for certain people. One year later, half of them are dead to me.

Each person’s heart breaks in it’s own way. Every cure will be different, but there are some things we all need. Before anything else, we need to feel safe.

“Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.”

I need feminism because...

Zayn Malik can pay to leave in the middle of a world tour, the middle of a contract, and make his own music because he didn’t like One Direction’s music, but Kesha is being forced to stay in a contract with her mental abuser, sexual assaulter, and rapist and Sony won’t let her out without repercussions 

Sam Pepper goes around with sick and horrible pranks and nobody bats an eye, and when people do, they get shit because the girls who got their ass grabbed should have liked it.

Chris Brown can beat women and get away with it WITH a career and female fans still worshiping this woman beater.

Hillary Clinton will get asked about her wardrobe in interviews instead of political topics, unlike her other male runners.

Tampons and pads are taxed as luxury items, but male shaving items are not.

When I get catcalled at the mall, the guys yell at me about how I should take it as a compliment and only stop when my boyfriend shows up and tells them to stop.

Nobody bats an eye at a shirtless male, but the moment a woman doesn’t have a shirt on and her breasts are out, people are in outrage.

Men can’t go out in public wearing ‘feminine’ items without being ridiculed.

I got detention for wearing shorts over my leggings because my shorts were not fingertip length and was distracting to my male students learning environment, despite having full length leggings on and my shorts covering my butt.

5SOS can have a completely bare naked magazine cover, only cover their junk with their hands, and be praised, but Selena Gomez releases an album cover of her naked, but at the same time quite covered, and gets called a slut on social media.

When Justin Bieber posts a naked photo of him on a boat (with his back facing the camera) he is praised and drooled over, but a woman can’t post a bikini photo without being attention seeking.

Tyler Joseph can’t wear a dress on stage during a performance without being called out on the media, and in person, but a female can.

When a female says she’s a feminist, people think that women want to be better than men.

When a male says he’s a feminist, people think he is lying to get women’s attention.

When a gay man says he is raped by another man, he is told he should have liked it because he was gay.

When a boy says he was raped by a female, his friends say he should have liked it because he got laid by an older woman.

When a lesbian is raped by a man, he gets away free because he claims to try and turn her straight so her family would accept her.

Because ‘there are only two genders’.

Because pansexuality, demisexuality, asexuality, agender, genderfluidity, and other sexualities and genders are seen as ‘fake’ and ‘jokes’ because people use them as jokes.

I need fucking feminism because we all deserve to be treated equally.

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement.
