Stop romanticising the "bad boy". "Bad boys" are often portrayed as troubled but with a hidden sensitive side, that's supposed to redeem them. This misleads women to deny, minimize and justify the terrible actions of men because they're still a "good person deep down", that they "don't really mean it" and they're "not all bad". The myth of the bad boy encourages women to overlook the bad in boys, despite how they mistreat them and give them the benefit of the doubt. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence they don't have their best interests at heart. Women believe that if they could just make them see the pain they're inflicting, they'd change. Nope. They're never sorry, you can't appeal to someone's conscience when they don't have one. The reality is, "bad boys" are just bad people. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVpfyG_Fq5M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u72b9o8qg9xj

🚩 when they expect you to be their girlfriend without being your boyfriend 🚩 when someone says they want you to be theirs, you’d assume that meant they wanted to be yours too... #handembroidery #contemporaryembroidery #textileart https://www.instagram.com/p/BstE6duBjxu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i5ubprh6utmn

bad people do good things as a front 🎭 the baddies do goodies so people would never believe they’re capable of being a bad person. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvckfkbhygj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14m8tif5g2d6c

Storytime: When I was with an old ex, I used to be obsessed with checking his horoscope. Now I realise I was just searching for clarity from horoscopes because he was sending mixed messages and playing mind games. I wish I could tell younger me that if you need to resort to horoscopes to get some answers because you’re not getting any from them, something is wrongggg. People that genuinely care about you, don’t make you feel like you need to go looking for signs from horoscopes, tarot, their friends etc, they make it clear themselves!!! To this day I still don’t know how he really felt about me but now I know better, now I can’t even remember his sign! #handembroidery #contemporaryembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjRCr0B1_f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15q7mc32s5tgx

how the concept of forgiveness is weaponised to shift blame onto the victim, the perpetrator is bad but you’re worse for not forgiving them... the “bigger” and “better” person let things go. #sophiesforgiveness #handembroidery #contemporaryembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsqe5W1BVph/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sf9f6tvdt8ou

Forgiveness is only empowering if it’s your choice. Not if you’ve been forced into it. Through fear of being called bitter, weak and a bad person if you don’t 🧠 #sophiesforgiveness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsi0tS1BOWR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ar98q4bvlzlq
