Everything my convoluted heart wishes to pour out.
I’ve decided to retire this blog, and all of the other ones known by other people. why? because tonight i got a slap in the face that delivered the clarity that I’m toxic to the ones I love. And I need to stop existing for those people no matter how much it kills me. No matter how much I may be…
i don’t think such a large majority of lyrics in a song have ever related to be before.
Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect him to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect…

The right to free speech (if you live in a country that allows you that) means the government won’t put you in jail for what you’re saying. It doesn’t protect you from other people telling you to shut the fuck up.

True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”

Voila. A beautiful example of why fighting for equality becomes a gross exaggeration in the eyes of the oppressors.
