sometimes i wish i could tell other women that you can just stop removing your body hair and in many cases the consequences will be way less severe than u expect. you can go to the beach with all your leg hair intact and nobody will stop you or say a thing. you can stop waxing your upper lip and people won’t stare at it the way u might be bracing yourself for. you can quit plucking your brows and eventually they will grow back into themselves and no one will even notice. like for sure women are punished for not participating in beauty rituals but i also feel like so much of it is like The Panopticon sometimes where you just convince yourself that if u stop that kind of gendered upkeep everyone will be mad and stop talking to u forever when in reality you just keep existing and nothing remarkable happens. it’s not always easy but you can kind of just stop for real

When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it’s a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don’t care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let’s hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

what's your job, dream city/country for work, what kind of people you don't like (specific)

i work in corporate (this is as specific as I will get 😭)

dream place to work wld be somewhere in austria or czech republic. i have a job that can be done anywhere so <3

hmm I hate people addicted to their own suffering, people constantly bitching about how lonely they are but also being extremely cynical like I know someone like that and idk how to tell them that their self pity keeps people away 🎀 hate men in general especially the ones who take things for granted and I also don't like people who are overly materialistic it is repulsive

hey 💖 3 and 25 for the end of the year book asks?

What were your top five books of the year?

age of innocence (wharton), rebecca (du maurier), simple passion (ernaux), the door (szabo), can't decide fifth option I feel like my death (tuttle) and foreign devils on the silk road (hopkirk)

What reading goals do you have for next year?

Nothing just want to read more bc I didn't really complete any goals for this year. I'm okay with that bc it was a pretty eventful year but still I want reading to be a mindful, daily practice so just want to implement that. Also want to try the NYRBwomen25 challenge. I obv won't read all bc I'm not interested in every selection but atleast want to read the ones already on my tbr !
