“Not loving yourself back is also unrequited love.”
— Tablo (Blonote)
There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish —Michelle Obama
Happy International Women’s Day!
abuser’s point of view is not valid pass it on
Being able to read a person’s microaggressions without even trying (He’s upset. I don’t know how I know he’s upset, but he is). I’m always right.
Being able to hear a lie in someone’s voice without looking at them.
Unconsciously being aware of every shift in the room, but still jumping a mile when someone comes up from behind.
Forcing your body into autopilot when life just gets too hard to handle, but then realizing you’re dissociating and trying to bring yourself back.
That stare that all your friends call your “resting bitch face.”
Nearly punching people in the face when they scare you.
Being amazingly good at one thing because you had nothing else to do as a kid (for me, reading and writing).
People calling you mature for your age.
People being stunned at the fact that you know more life skills than a thirty year old.
On the other hand, cringing when you don’t know how to do something everyone else knows how to do.
Constantly feeling tired no matter how long you sleep.
Telling a story about your childhood, and stopping halfway through when you realize everyone is horrified.
Not understanding why people complain about taxes and insurance and money while you’re just happy you get to have plants in your room now.
Having absolutely no control over your emotions, yet everyone thinks you’re so level headed and mature because you’re not physically capable of showing it.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
Sylvia Plath (via sylviaplathquotes)
sorry
Is it just me or does 2019 feel....off? Everything is boring, the weather is weird, summer doesn’t feel right. The world isn’t fun anymore. Breaking rules is for enjoyment. People are rude and selfish. Drugs are a priority. Everyone is losing friends, relationships are falling apart. It’s like we’re all...stuck. There’s no emotion anymore. 2018 was weird, but 2019 just feels plain sad. We’re all growing up and forgetting how to act.
