Because while I am aware of my cultural construction, I don’t always feel like I have to escape it.
I am envious of women who are comfortable in their own skin; what do you do with all of that free time?!xojane
And for the first time everything seemed clear to me - like one logical progression. It felt like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it. Being with you made me feel that maybe I didn’t have to keep planning anymore because it felt like I was actually living. And that for once in my life I wouldn’t have to work so hard at being happy. That it could just happen. Nothing will ever hurt me as much as your reaction to that same experience.- Boys and Girls (2000)
“You won’t be happy with me,
But give me one more chance
You won’t be happy anyway
Why do we still live here
In this repulsive town?
All our friends are in New York
Why do we keep shrieking,
when we mean soft things?
We should be whispering all the time…”

xojane’s Emily McCombs on body issues… http://www.xojane.com/fun/backfat“… I like to pretend I am a two-dimensional person, seen only from the angle I see when I face into the mirror.
But I am not a two dimensional person! I am not a brain in a jar, no matter how strange I sometimes find it that so much is attached to what is basically a shell, a wrapper for our souls that I, at least, spend such a disproportionate amount of time thinking about. And since I have to be in this body, I’d rather feel that I am this body, rather than peeking through the eyes like the driver of a giant robot. And maybe that starts with looking at it.”
How does anything die? Something stops. Or something doesn’t stop…But it’s all good- I’m not saying things are bad, I’m not complaining. I just wish that things could be clean and clear with smooth edgesi forget but some indie movie?

125. by cassandra warren
“and I understood that it was all right
to be here without you, and miss you,
and to work late, and write poems, and pause
at the flower shop’s steps
every morning, and to not want
to love anybody right now, and put extra milk
in my coffee, and be angry, and hopeful
and panicked and this. I am here, I am here,
I am here.”
