things toddlers and i have in common

- need naps - will scream ‘dog’ when there’s a dog - cry too much - screaming - ???? - need to be held often

sometimes i forget how many times i’ve picked myself off the floor, how many times i’ve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times i’ve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i’ve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i’ve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i’d believe i was doing everything i could. so here’s to remembering that i’m doing the best i can.

“YOU SHOULD LIMIT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU ACT AGAINST YOUR NATURE, LIKE SLEEPING WITH PEOPLE YOU HATE. IT’S INTERESTING TO TEST YOUR CAPABILITIES FOR A WHILE BUT TOO MUCH WILL CAUSE DAMAGE”

I’m tired of girls trying to invalidate their own feelings during times of pain, especially to their friends. Your break up meant something. That friendship you lost was a hard blow. I understand why you feel tired this semester. Sometimes this “modern woman” stereotype is patriarchy’s last attempt; patriarchy disguised as feminism. You don’t have to be “wise beyond your years”; your pain and crying does not mean you are not intelligent. If you feel your friends demand justification for your pain and ordeals, they’re not friends. You’re strong but human. Remind yourself emotional space is part of liberation.

who were you?

[strawberry-bubbblegum]

Twenty Two.

Four countries. Incredible memories. Ended friendships. Creation of beautiful friendships. A happy, healthy, wonderful relationship after a series of complicated, messy ones. A realization about who is worth it in life and an unexpected friendship. A new job in an interesting field. Twenty two was eventful. Twenty two broke my heart a few times and definitely wasn't simple. Twenty two taught me too many things and opened my eyes to even more. The important friendships will stay regardless of distance, and others will fade. Twenty two I love ya but I cannot wait to see what twenty three has in store for me.

my chill is fake

“How are you so calm?!” “I’ve passed beyond stressed, beyond hysteria, into the grey misty indifference of complete shutdown of all but emergency services in my brain.”
