I love my daughter already whoever she is

I may make jokes about “pick me’s”, and talk my shit, but honestly ? There will always be a piece of my heart that weeps for women, who will literally go through life with no other goals or aspirations other than to be chosen by men.

Revolving their whole entire world around male acceptance. Basing their whole existence off male attention. Only being able to be happy when a man is in the picture. I feel for them. Truly. I do.

They will endure unfaithfulness, disrespect, minimal effort, and abuse in all forms, just to be able to say “at least I have a man”

Imagine not having an identity outside of a man. Lacking self esteem and self love. Being so afraid of being alone that you will literally accept anything a man throws your way because you’d rather have somebody than nobody, so. You just take what you can get.

It breaks my heart.

It pains me knowing that society has brainwashed women into thinking that we are unworthy outside of marriage and relationships. But we must release ourselves from that toxic mindset, and focus on happiness within our own lives. Outside of the opposite sex.

I say all of that to say this:

Please stop seeking validation from men.

Nurture your own souls. The right one will always come at the right time.

Even if they don’t, always remember that men are not a necessity to having a beautiful life.

We create our own greatness.

“Stop watching porn. I don’t rail against pornography because I get a kick out of losing friends. I am challenging it because I have evidenced its violent ramifications via molestation, suicide, and murder firsthand. Stop playing devil’s advocate for porn. I don’t just want you to stop consuming porn. I want you to entrench the degradation and suffering of its victims so deeply into your heart that you are compelled to fight against it for the rest of your life. Stop tolerating porn. I don’t need you to feel bad for the individuals in porn who have had “bad experiences.” I need you to feel furious about how an entire class of people - women - are subjugated as a whole. Stop masturbating to porn. I don’t want you to do this for the sheer fact that porn rewires your brain via the limbic system to associate degradation and humiliation with orgasms and pleasure. I want you to do this because you were humane enough to stop being a mindless masturbating drone and took the time to read about the pornography industry, about its sexist, racist, misogynistic, anti-woman, pro-masculinity, pro-trafficking, pro-rape history and recognized that all women deserve better than pornography and prostitution has to offer. I am telling you now. If you consume porn, you are complicit in the sexual abuse and rape of children; you are complicit in a world that hates women; you are complicit for the entire spectrum of harm that cascades outwardly from pornography.”

The fact that both of zukos abusers used lightning against zuko and instead of learning to use lightning himself like he could have he learned how to redirect the lightning and let it pass through him and then straight clean out of him… Do you ever think about how that is literally physically representing how instead of absorbing his father and sisters abuse he lets it pass through him and instead of soaking it in and letting it destroy him he redirects it away from himself… I just want some peace in my life

It’s funny when you stop dealing with someone & you sit back & realize a plethora of bullshit that you tried to justify when on speaking terms. I go above & beyond, forgetting about myself in the process. That’s dead now. I come before anybody else.

DIVINE TIMING.

remember that police brutality won’t end with the ballot box in november. it won’t stop just because a democrat is in office. ferguson happened while obama was president. standing rock happened while obama was president. he deployed the national guard for these. his response was just as severe to these communities as trump’s; he just wasn’t so public about it. police brutality and systemic racism are not political problems but SYSTEMIC problems. this means that the system causes it, not the president, governor, senator, congressman, or city council. if you want this to end, you have to go beyond right or left wing, and dismantle the entire system. if you think this is going to end in november, you’re sorely mistaken; they’ll just get better at hiding it.
