THE REAL ISSUES

A little bit about me, I'm a young woman, 21 & entering the real world. This is not a personal blog, but does include a lot of my personal thoughts. This blog addresses and discusses world news & on going issues regarding: sexism, racism, feminism, the government, economy & environment, etc.

You know I can handle shaved head, lizard tongue, raunchy dancing, trashy outfit wearing Miley — but when she violates the sacredness of eyebrows that is the last straw.

what do you think about the burn book blog

tbh i haven’t gotten a good look at the blog other than the first few comments…but I imagine thats the gist of it. But honestly -and this is just my personal view on girls -but I feel like our society breeds girls to over think things (especially stupid things) WAY too much and I’m just not supporting that. I feel like they get way too sensitive over what someone behind a grey face with sunglasses is saying about them… I mean it’s one thing if a person actually reveals themselves, but even then. If this person doesn’t know you why the fuck do you care what they think about you? Hate is going to come no matter what. That’s the price of having an opinion/statement in life. And it’s the downside of having some form of personal publicity. You don’t get one without the other. If you have a lot of haters you probably have a lot of people who like you too. And if you don’t then there’s probably a legitimate reason why people hate you. My point is, I don’t get why people don’t understand this. Focus on the positive side of things. If you’ve done nothing to warrant the negative things people are saying about you then what do you have to worry about? Anyone who actually knows you would know the truth so who gives a fuck what strangers think. If a person has so much time to sit around and judge people who have never wronged them then that is their problem, not yours. And if the burn book blog girl wants to spend her time giving an outlet to the haters then who the fuck cares? Don’t read it if you don’t like it.

You can’t stop other people from spreading hate. The only thing you can do is control what you put out there and hope that the people you put in your life are doing the same. 

People seriously need to stop obsessing over the amount of hate they get. I mean people take so much offense to stranger hate yet they don’t even bat an eyelid to stranger compliments. 

I’m not necessarily condoning this blog but I seriously think people need to get over it.

I seriously admire people who can pull off really short hair. You don’t need to rely on your hair length to embellish the way you look and I’m jealous because I’m not one of those people.

Just to all the girls who follow me, I’m seeing a lot of ‘my heart feels so broken over him, I just wanna kill myself’ type statements on my dash today and it’s rather upsetting…I don’t want to be the person who downplays your feelings. No matter how silly the situation sounds in reality, if it’s truly enough to consider killing yourself it’s obviously very serious. So this is just a friendly reminder that ending your life is very final. You won’t be around to feel your emotional pain, but you also won’t be around to feel the regret, loss, anger and confusion that you will cause everyone with your death. So remember that someone loves you. No matter what happened. No matter what you caused, or why it’s your fault. You can always find a reason to stay and fight. If you’re one of those young girls who’s heartbroken over some guy, yeah he might get another girl…but your momma and daddy won’t get another princess like you. Your younger siblings will feel the loss of someone they openly or secretly idolized and your older siblings will regret not being able to protect you before too late. You will cause your family to feel a drastic change that you left for them with your death and you will force your friends to forever carry a lingering sadness when something reminds them of you. That is the price of suicide. So coming from a girl who’s understatement of life is ‘I’ve royally screwed up more times than I can count’…I’ll personally tell you that if it’s that bad, it doesn’t always get better. And sometimes the choice to live was simply just a punishment because death was too easy. But the most important thing I’ve learned about that mentality is that leaving yourself the opportunity to find another reason to live is enough to get by. Because once you find something, no matter how much pain you went through before you found it…you are still here. And you have a chance to be everything you would’ve never got to be lying 6 feet underground. Although I don’t know your situations, your lives have to be worth more than some silly high school relationship. And if I’m wrong and I somehow find out tomorrow or next week from my dash that you are now gone from this world, just know that I was thinking of you. I genuinely believe that committing suicide is a personal choice that was either meticulously thought through or done impulsively during a moment of extreme insecurity. But remember even though it’s a personal choice, it’s hardly one that only affects you. Even though it results in your own death you won’t be there in the aftermath, so if you’re considering this, please try a little harder to find something to hold on to. If not for you, than for other people who care about you. Someone or something will find you. And whatever or whoever it is will make you realize you were right to wait for it.

what kind of clothes would you suggest for someone who never really dresses up? because i want to, but i'm not really pretty and I don't want to suddenly seem like im trying really hard to be attractive.

Well first of all. Fashion is a statement, and when you’re making a statement you need to believe in whatever statement you’re making or there’s no point in making it. So if you want to start dressing up because you need a change in your style, don’t do it for anyone else. Do it for you. It’s ok to not know where to start, what’s not ok is letting what other people think dictate whether you should try something or not. So honestly my advice to you about style would be to just start off simple. Wear something casual and cute, like converse and leggings with a plaid shirt. Once you get the hang of it, add some accessories like a hat or jewelry. The smallest things can dress up the simplest outfit. Style is something that develops over time, so really all you need is to get started.

As for not being pretty all I’m gonna say is if you really feel that way, just work on your style. Because people don’t get to choose if they have a ‘beautiful’ face. You’re born with what you have, and you have to live with it. But fashion and style? That’s a skill. And it’s so much more respectable to be known and envied for something that wasn’t simply handed to you or something that you were born with.

I didn't want to intrude before, especially that you already answered my questions in posts to other people but I cannot keep my concern silent. I'm really happy for you that Raymond is coming. I imagine it's a candle in darkness. I only hope that him meeting Dan will be ok? I hope the whole thing goes without incidents. Keep tight and strong. loads of love

Thank you, that’s actually a fair concern and I appreciate that you pointed it out. 

Oddly enough, they have met before. As with many romantic relationships, it all gets pretty complicated but it boils down to: I met, fell in love with and visited Raymond while still together with Dan and everyone knew this and was okay with this.

Dan has known of my intentions to move in with Raymond for a week or two at least, and Raymond will even be staying here for a few days, helping me pack. I don’t fear violence or anything at this point I think we all just want to get me out of here as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Raymond comes tonight. Tonight everything changes and I commit to taking a giant chance with my life. When everything’s set, we’ll go to Maryland and see whether we can find him a job, us an apartment and me a future worth surviving for. Deeply appreciating everyone’s concern and support, thank you. Updates will be forthcoming.

I get mad when people hate on makeup. As if wearing a minimal or heavy amount of it changes who I really am. Like wearing makeup isn’t only for enhancing my face, it’s for changing my appearance. It’s a physical reflection of how I’m feeling that day and if you don’t like it, that’s your problem....

I get the whole slut-shaming thing, and ppl can wear whatever the fuck they want but honestly if you’re gonna wear that short of a skirt where everyone can see your vag when you bend over don’t act so surprised if girls are calling you slutty, cause its slutty. And a little bit disgusting.
