You See,  This Is My Issue With Parents Who Don’t Give Their Kids Privacy As Well. They Are The Same

You see,  this is my issue with parents who don’t give their kids privacy as well. They are the same ones who are like “This is my house, I pay the bills. You can do whatever you want when you start paying your own bills in your own house.” 

sigh

You’re not creating space for you’re child to grow. You’re just restricting and preventing their growth. 

“I had a room to myself as a kid, but my mother was always quick to point out that it wasn’t my room, it was her room and I was merely permitted to occupy it. Her point, of course, was that my parents had earned everything and I was merely borrowing the space, and while this is technically true I cannot help but marvel at the singular damage of this dark idea: That my existence as a child was a kind of debt and nothing, no matter how small, was mine. That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else’s whim.”  ― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

The Emptiness Within My Life ~ Jacqueline Acuna

The emptiness returns along with the occasional heartache.

At times I find myself questioning my birth, why was I born if I wasn’t built for life? 

Why are we born only to die?

Since my first breath, I’ve been destined to fail, to ruin everything I touch. 

It was my destiny to live a life full of emptiness and pain. 

I wasn’t created for this life. I am too weak, too dumb, too “close-minded.” 

No matter how hard I try, I know I won’t survive. 

One way or another I was always meant to die. 

~ Jacqueline Acuna

At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

Re-blog if you can write in cursive.

I heard cursive is dying. I want to see who still uses it.
