A world where being homosexual was considered normal, and heterophobia was the problem.
Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them.

Spent most of the day with my younger sister in the hospital. What started as a minor allergic reaction (which she gets all the time) turned into full body hives last night, and then she passed out and stopped breathing this morning. Just happy that she’s home and a little bit better.
Thank you so much to the paramedics and staff at the children’s hospital. You don’t know how much you taking care of her means to me.
It’s so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to come. Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.

Anxiety and I
How did we end up like this
You poking an prodding
At every possible problem
That I could ever face
Body and face
Ruined by words
Which sticks and stones
Have nothing on
How did I ever end up with you
And your negativity
Digging and degrading me
Like I’m something to be valued
I want to be valued
But not like that
I have no price
For there is no product
I am human
With faults and flaws
And misguided attempts
In seeking perfection
Which is perfect
If you come from a factory
Instead of a family
But who would want that
No
My head is house
The door is locked
And you, the negative voice
Are not welcome
To Him and Guys in General
Beware of wolves
Hidden in sheep suits
They may seem like sweeties
When they are actually brutes
And whatever you do
Don’t give them your hearts
They will rip them to shreds
They will tear them apart
As soon as he meets a lamb
Who’s wool is more white
You two are over
There is no need to fight
Because even though for you
He was the only guy
He will give you up
In the blink of his dreamy but fucking death black eye
The other day on tumblr, I saw a post where somebody asked why all guys are out to hurt girls, and I thought that they were wrong, and that some guys were nice, like the one I was having a thing with.
He would always eat lunch with me, sitting close enough to me that the length of our thighs touched, and he would feed me. He would hold my hand sometimes, and we would play footsie under the table.
But when I recently came back from my trip this week, he was attached to another girl, one whom I considered to be my friend. Now today they went on two dates and haven’t left each others sides.
So, yeah. There probably are guys who honestly have good intentions, but it seems that even the best have guys have no respect for the feelings of others.
Unless one of you guys have an answer for me, I must rest with my conclusion that every guy is only looking out for number one.
Just got back from The Gambia
And it was such an amazing experience, but now I have the post best-moment-of-your-life depression and culture shock from returning home
I don’t think I really mentioned this, but I leave for London, England, and then Banjul, The Gambia today :) so I will be offline for two weeks, not that you will probably notice.
