Reminder: You are under no obligation to look pretty.

Not when you are laying around the house, not when you go to the grocery store, not when you sit in a classroom, not when you go to the gym. You are never obligated to get dressed up just so you are pretty for others.

Pretty is not the rent you pay to exist in the world as a woman. 

That last line. Wow.

so fundamental that it bears repeating

sparkledog:

I am so tired of being told that i am too old for the things i like. No cartoons. No toys. No fantasy animals. No bright colors. Are adults supposed to live monotonous, bleak lives ? I can be an adult and still love childish things. I can be intelligent and educated and informed and i can love stuffed animals and unicorns. These things are not mutually exclusive. Please stop making me feel bad for loving the things that make me happy.

I feel like young people are so pressured to aim for the highest paid job possible and it makes me really anxious about the future. It should be normalised for people to leave sixth form and get completely ordinary jobs and live in ordinary houses. We’re told that we’ll be extraordinary and special and different and successful. But to me, as long as your job pays enough to live off and have hobbies then you should consider yourself successful. You should paint, sew, read, play instruments, say hello to old people, find little coffee shops, throw pennies in wells, use the swings at the park, ask people if you can pet their dog, make friends with local cats, leave (appropriate) food out for hedgehogs, watch documentaries, enjoy new underwear, walk in beautiful landscapes, smile a lot and listen to songs you love.
I don’t want to be wealthy and miserable and surrounded by unpleasant people and stress

This was so well written & I agree 100%

Accept the fact that you will grow apart from people you’ve had significant relationships with. Understand when someone no longer positively affects your life. Let them go. Don’t hinder your growth.

Note to all girls

fvkq:

You don’t HAVE to have a boyfriend before you reach your 20’s. I see a lot of girls saying they feel insecure because they’ve never had a boyfriend or are still a virgin. Don’t hate that about yourself, it just shows that you are capable of surviving tough teenage yourself, and with the added bonus of no heart breaks! Sometimes the people who are meant to be in your lives will come later than others. But that one person will come and it will be good.

True Friendship

susanivanovas:

true friendship is willfully making someone’s emotional devastation over fictional characters worse

genocidersyo:

true friends support your probably-slightly-unhealthy obsession with your favorite fictional character
