Apparently I’ve been saying “frickin zazzed” when I mean highly energetic/caffeinated for like 10 years now and I just realised I picked that up from Dan Howell when I was like 14 so I’ve got that to contend with today

Dan outing himself as a fellow Ferrari girlie makes so much sense fyi

Thinking about barbie and the trends and conversations I’m seeing and having because of it. In particular all the stuff about girlhood. Don’t get me wrong, I love girlhood, I made one of the silly tik toks with memories with my female friends and family to the Billie Eilish song and cried while journaling about it two days ago. But the thing is I’m 23 right now and I’m still calling my experiences “girlhood” and I don’t know why. I’m a grown woman, technically. I pay rent and taxes and go to work and study and do all the things that a functioning adult in society has to (albeit begrudgingly and anxiously bc I and I’ve heard everyone else actually secretly have no fucking idea what we’re doing). So, shouldn’t what I’m experiencing now be womanhood? But something about that doesn’t sound right. Something about the word woman doesn’t sound right when being used to refer to me at all, but not in a gender way. I definitely identify as a female person, but being called a woman feels wrong. Being called a lady feels wrong unless the words “promising” “beautiful” and most importantly “young” come before it. I feel much more comfortable being called a girl, but by definition of the word I’m not a girl anymore. Is this a result of internal misogyny? Probably. Some amount with obsession over youth and beauty in the form of being child-like in order to be valued as a female person. Small and hairless and fragile and weak. Sweet and polite and naive and compliant. Some amount to do with the fact that “womanhood” still feels like it can only be reached if it included motherhood or some other kind of female caretaker role like wife to a useless man who can’t pick up his own laundry or cook himself dinner. Womanhood doesn’t sound like it includes concerts and dancing on nights out with my friends. Day trips to the beach and holidays to places I’ve never seen. Working hard to achieve goals and ambitions. Those seem to fit more neatly into girlhood than they do womanhood in my mind, but is that how it should be? Should I be forcing myself to call myself a woman even though the word sounds dirty to me?

I know I’m late but ROBERT PATTINSON BATMAN WITH THE GREASY EMO FRINGE AND THE CONSTANT LAYER OF GRIME AND THE TRAUMA LIKE IM NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF FIXING MEN ANYMORE BUT I COULD FIX HIM I SWEAR

This is going to sound silly but the way I know that I have good people around me right now is that even though most of them don’t really get the relationship I have with this thing, they know that it’s there, and so many of them have genuinely checked up to make sure I’m okay, and the only judgement I’ve felt about my grief has been my own internalised one. They don’t understand why this thing is important to me but they know that it is and they make me feel seen and heard. My god dude, I’m scared that saying it will jinx it but I fucking love these people.

Me: I hate Tao’s character

Tao: I’m fundamentally unlikeable. I try too hard, and I talk too much. I ruin everything.

Me: *weeps in everything I’ve ever felt*

Do you ever think about how a couple of producers and celebrity judges trying to make good tv literally accidentally changed millions of peoples lives? One Direction made me the person I am today, where would I be without them?

What if we all deleted the big social media networks and just went back to moshi monsters? From now on the only way to contact me is to leave a message on my pinboard and I can only respond during my one hour allotment of “computer time” like it’s 2009 again

“I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind”

ie me pretending to be a Victorian child hired to clean a haunted attic instead of being a grown adult de-dusting the storage area at work during my gap

Dude I’m not a “____ is gonna be my year!” person in the slightest (who even is anymore), but I’ve just gotta say, as someone who was 13 and annoying in 2013, 2023 truly has been MY year
