conversations about ‘aging well’ make me uncomfortable sometimes because so what if someone does look old? so what if someone has wrinkles and sagging skin? so what if you look older or younger than other people your age? beauty and youth are not virtues. you did not earn them nor do they say anything about your character. women should be allowed to look aged in peace without constantly being attacked for it

the concept of being out of someone else’s league in friendship or love is so unnerving… the whole point of forging connection between another soul is to be forgiving of differences and curious about the Other, not to look for yourself in others… leagues aren’t real and everyone is worthy of someone else’s interest, even if no one is entitled to someone else’s interest. that’s how it really is without the false illusion of any concept of worthiness getting in the way

what’s in my bag ♡

you're my favorite part of fridays

Believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.
