Cause you made me a fool

Now tell me who's loving you?

Watch me as my world burns down

You kicked me down and stole my crown

Though my heart is telling me to go

I just gotta let you know

That you sunk my ship and then you let me drown

The ’70s Feminist Manifesto That’s Still a Must-Read Today

Judy Brady Syfers wrote ‘I Want a Wife’ in 1971. It holds up.

[elljayvee]

My mother used to mutter “I want a WIFE” angrily from time to time.

Later, after my parents split up and my mom’s bff’s spouse died, mom’s bff moved in. Mom would come home from work and the house would be clean! Dinner would be ready! Laundry done! Homework checked!

She called me up, delighted, a few weeks into it. “I was right! I DID want a wife!”

i remember the blissful 14 months when me and my friend shared a nanny, and coming back into the living room to find she had spontaneously tidied up the extreme chaos. That must be what it’s like, being a man, that you can just walk away from some mess to get ready for work, and when you come back somebody else has dealt with it without any physical or mental effort from you.

“Remember, love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love.”

― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

[malasthings]

we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant.

What I feel for you can't be conveyed in phrasal combinations; it either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise it beats words. It beats worlds.
