White Male: You're SoOoOoO pretty. What are you?

Me: A fucking beauty.

White Male: No really, what are you?

Me: Out of your league.

Me: And next time.

Me: Do not ask women of color that question. It's objectifying.

I have been made to feel ugly and unsexy my entire life. My soft body with their abundent stretchmarks, made hypervisible by my brown skin. My hairyness. My bushy eyebrows. My dark skin. Its all unsexy. And I’ve been told this. Even when I try to reclaim my sexuality I am shot...

[rangeela881]

Because why not?

It's been three point five months without this lovely lady already and I'm thinking,"cool! I can spend all of September with her before I leave the country," but no. This woman gets herself a fancy NPR internship and we switch states [LOL DC will never get statehood. :*(] pretty much as soon as I get back home. 

So see ya never.

This is why we are friends.

My mother blasts new Bollywood music through the house on the weekends. She too, never apologizes.

expectations: I'm just going to take a quick power nap and I'll wake up refreshed and energized

reality: passed out cold for five hours solid, wake up not knowing what day it is or what the last meal you ate was

Only reason I woke up was because I got hungry.
