twenty notes on a post might not seem like a lot. but imagine twenty people complimenting you in real life. twenty people telling you you're kind, you're smart, you write well. we would be so much happier if we could find this validation in real life rather than on social media.

WE LIVE IN A "INDIA"?

We live in a INDIA where women's are worshiped at days,

But get gang raped at night!

We live in a India where a rapist or criminal can go to temple but a bleeding women can't!

We live in a India where women's are "allowed" to work but still be expected to do all the household!

We live in a India where we proud to be landed on moon but why still be ashamed of menstruation!

We live in a India where a women is "allowed" to study but still be expected to get married by 22!

We live in a India where we say daughter's and son's are equal but why still doctors hide the gender till the birth?

We live in a India where a father gives his life income in dowry but why not on her education?

We live in a India where we talk about all the equality but why no one talks about the unequality of only women leaving her home?

We live in a India where sons are asked for their graduation/ income but why daughter's are asked for what can they cook?

We live in a India where men's can urinate in public but why women still be questioned on a skirt?

We live in a India where a good women goes to heaven but the bad one goes anywhere she wants!

And Yes, sometimes I'm not proud to say I live in India!.

Pippi in the Misty Forest (website: nonnie.bio.link)

In the misty forest, where whispers dwell, Stands a woman with tales to tell. Her braids like ropes, her spirit free, A beacon of wonder for all to see. The mist may hide, but you can see, The endless power of being free.

The culture of being perceived, in isolation, as a pound of flesh by men is undeniably real, I think. What can I conclude? If only they’d start noticing red flames of divine power and deadly destruction in the very same rounded bosom they so proudly stare at.

Lovemaking & Monsters, QUOTUS

[minimalist-quotes]

She's a balance of strength and femininity. She's a blend of silly and serious. She's a dreamer with her feet still on the ground. The kind of person that can find the suns rays in a rainstorm. She is a once in a lifetime woman.

Quote of the day

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead Walk beside me… just be my friend”

― Albert Camus

delulu is, in fact, not the solulu.

you can't romanticize your way out of everything. because love, you are stuck with yourself. you are born with your life. once it's gone, it's gone. the time that passes will not return.

you can't change your environment, so you must change yourself. no more "born to be, forced to be". no more "I'm just a girl". no more daydreaming. no more self inserts into fantastical worlds. come back to reality. do not be a coward. be mature. be realistic. know that things are hard. stand up tall and face every challenge that comes your way. feel the fear and do it anyway.

go outside. literally touch some grass. run. sweat. laugh. breathe. read good books. eat good food. love good people. make the most out of your life, and especially your youth.
