Rant #3-

Okay so feminism. I am completely baffled when it comes to arguments about feminism. Part of me shakes my head when men are blamed for not supporting feminism. But statistically, men are the majority not supporting feminism. That isn't to say ALL men. So when someone says "that man is a prime example of sexist", the reply generally is a long rant from the surrounding males. Now today I was out in this situation. As I was slightly annoyed and wanted them to shut up as my brother and father kept going on about how it isn't fair that they blame men. Me and my sister say there patiently waiting for them to finish. (You can't tell these two anything without them getting pissed at it. It's more effort to argue the point because they wont listen to the other party.) However, when they finished all I could say was, "It must suck to be singled out and humiliated because of your gender." I just left the room. I didn't get a reply after that but it felt kind of good. Now, before people get angry about this let me explain. I am aware that feminism stands for the equality of both sexes and I completely support that. If women want to wear pants they should and if men want to wear skirts they should. I would just like to say that the men in my family are probably not 100% supporting it though. Rants on their side happen frequently because when men are singled out it makes them mad. It makes me mad too, but as they are the majority they need to be educated on the whole movement. - Runaway-Lilipilli

You’re terrified of being alone. Anything you do now will be motivated by that fear. You have to stop worrying about finding love again. It will come when it comes.

Sometimes, you cant help if people let or put you down. There isn’t anything wrong with getting some help, but just make sure you can get back up by yourself sometimes.

Rant #2

Do you not feel appreciated enough?

I have come to a realisation that I, as a human being, have failed myself.

I recently discovered that my bestest friend in the world has never been positively commented on her physical appearance. I literally can not explain how smart, amazing, talented and gorgeous she is. I was seriously in shock and so much sadness overwhelmed me when she told me, mostly because in the entire time we have been friends, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone, including myself, compliment her physical appearance. Apart from the passing “your hair looks nice” bull. Like it may look nice but I honestly think I, or we as a community, could do better.

Then I realised I don’t think I’ve ever heard/ received anyone give anyone a compliment and truly mean it. Not in person anyway…

So I vowed to myself from now on, I tell the people I love that I love them, and tell them that they are beautiful, not just outside but inside… And vise versa. And I think that part is really important. Some people get complimented on their brains and not their beauty, much like my best friend. And I know some people prefer this but somehow to me I feel like I’m cheating that person. Like I’m not fully supporting and complimenting them as a whole.

So, from now on when I say you’re beautiful, gorgeous, pretty, handsome, a gentleman, classy, amazing; I mean all of you. Not just your inner or the outer beauty, but you. You as a whole. And I hope I don’t ever forget to tell you ever again.

(Apologies for any grammar/ spelling mishaps. I just write as I feel.)

Rant #1

Okay so, it’s been almost a week since Easter. My parents were arguing over who had eaten all of the chocolate. Now, with me being the only other person in the room, I knew the blame was about to come my way. Firstly, I don’t really like chocolate… (weird I know) and I do love the thought and everyone that did give me chocolate but I haven’t opened any of it yet… Now, this will come into play later, I’ve been really lucky with my lack of acne up until now, and unfortunetly this week has been an average crappy face day. But, this morning when I woke up I felt inexplicably good about myself. However, this does not deter the fact that I am obviously (sarcasm) to blame in this situation. My father (a bigger man that that eats everything and that blames me for everything and my mother believes him), obviously pointed the finger at me. His reasoning- “Because you have lots of pimples.” Listen here. I love my family, I really do, but when someone “blames” or pokes fun at something that, 1. I maybe can’t help, or 2. I don’t find positive about myself, I pretty much just don’t want to talk to them no matter who they are, until I get over myself.

I don’t care who you are. Depretiating jokes or comments don’t make anyone feel good, especially when pointing out what they consider a “flaw”. I know it’s an insignificant thing to rant over, but never in a million years would I want to put someone down to climb on top. It just shows how desperate to be better than everyone you really are.
