ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
Stop settling for abusive, toxic relationships, mistaking it for love. Also dig deeper, why are you tolerating this behavior? Where does it stem from? Salt isn’t sugar. Reflect, apply the lesson, evolve. Via: MagicalLine
To whomever needs to hear this- be yourself. Absolutely under no circumstances should you imitate someone else for the love of another. It’s creepy, it’s desperate, it’s weird. Doing this only solidifies he loves her, not you. Please have some self-respect. Learn to love yourself and find the person who loves you for you, not her. The house of cards will fall eventually, don’t waste your time. Artist: Rupi Kaur

maybe we’re all looking at it wrong
we think it’s something to search for out there
something meant to crash into us
on our way out of an elevator
or slip into our chair at a cafe somewhere
appear at the end of an aisle at the bookstore
looking the right amount of sexy and intellectual
but i think love starts here
everything else is just desire and projection
of all our wants needs and fantasies
but those externalities could never work out
if we didn’t turn inward and learn
how to love ourselves in order to love other people

Like the rainbow
After the rain
Joy will reveal itself
After sorrow.

When I go home I tell my mother
the men outside are starving
She tells me
I must not dress with my breasts hanging
Said the boys will get hungry if they see fruit
Says I should sit with my legs closed
Like a woman oughta
Or the men will get angry and fight
Said I can avoid all this trouble
If I just learn to act like a lady
But the problem is
that doesn’t even make sense
I can’t wrap my head around the fact
that I have to convince half the world’s population
my body is not their bed
I am busy learning the consequences of womanhood
When I should be learning science and math instead
