girlhood, hold onto it and never let it go

"I'm a 20-something year old teenage girl." A joke to some, but a sentiment I'm sure we all feel. To me, this is a sentence that I feel deeply. Deep within my core. It's not just the words, "20-something year old teenage girl," it's a feeling. A feeling so precious and sacred, I want to bottle it up and never open it, letting dust settle on it. I want to capture it and hold onto it until my knuckles turn white and my hands turn red. I want to look at it and close my eyes tight so I'll never forget it.

It's girlhood.

There is nothing like being a girl. There is something so innocent and freeing about being a girl, about experiencing girlhood. You feel like the world is so big, and that dreams are just a jump, skip and a hop away. You feel like the sun is bright and warm just for you. You feel like rain only pours when you're at your lowest. You say the words, "Best Friends Forever," and you believe it. You cherish it.

That's girlhood.

Girlhood is matching outfits and asking your friend on the phone if they can wear a skirt with you to school. It's silly little crushes and playing M.A.S.H. It’s bows and ruffles and playing with dirt and mud but imagining brownie batter.

That’s girlhood.

Girlhood is friendship. It's love. It's holding hands and friendship bracelets. It's dancing to Beyoncé and crying to Taylor Swift and dreaming about Harry Styles. It's laughing before you even get to the punchline. A laugh so good that you keel over, hold your stomach in pain, and struggle to catch your breath. It's crying and wondering why crying feels so good. It's the quiet reassurance from friends that everything is going to be okay. It's going into the club bathroom and immediately sparking conversation with the drunk girl in the stalls. You bond over that "super cute skirt" and she tells you to "dump that loser." And you dump him because you trust her with life even though you didn't catch her name.

That's girlhood.

I'm not afraid to grow up, and I don't resent my older self. I'm grateful that I am allowed the privilege to age and grow into a woman who has so much more life to live. I can't wait to see what my life has in store, but I'll miss being a girl. There will always be a piece of my heart, a piece of my being that wishes for the beauty of girlhood to stay with her forever. I will always cherish being a girl. I hope to never lose that feeling, that wonder, that love. Because it's more than just a word, it's a feeling.

It's girlhood.

my opinion on the Blake lively situation

#okay so I never HATED Blake lively #but I did have a feeling about her #so I’d always like purposely not interact or view any interview or anything of hers that came up on my feed #I DON’T like Ryan Reynolds and never have #I just find him a try hard and annoying #and I did not like the couple of Blake and Ryan #they just seemed soooo pick me #so yeah I tried to just ignore the whole downfall of Blake lively that’s been happening #bc sometimes I just don’t care to comment or learn about celeb drama #BUTTTT ofc i got sucked into it #and not Blake tryna have a Margot Robbie in Barbie moment 😂😂#‘bring your girlfriends and wear florals!1!1’ GIRL MARGOT NEVER TOLD ANYONE TO WEAR PINK TO BARBIE IT WAS A NATURAL THING #not to mention I didn’t even realise this movie was about domestic violence as I’ve never read the book #and it was NOT being marketed as one thanks to Blake and Ryan #also why did Ryan have to get involve #ALSO this morning I saw the interview from 2016 where Blake is being rude to the interview #and oh my god it’s awful like SHE FIRSTLY FAT SHAMES HER OFF THE BAT NO HESITATION #then proceeds to ignore the poor interviewer #like doesn’t give her eye contact AT ALL #which I felt so bad for the interview bc I’ve BEEN THERE #this is why I’d hate to be a celeb interview bc imagine getting treated like a third rate individual by these big headed LOSERS who think #they’re better than you just bc they’re famous #I could NOT #anyways also Blake tried to have a whole feminist moment when the interviewer asked her about the clothes she wears in the movie #‘would anyone ask the men about the clothes’#UM BITCH YES??? COSTUMES??? IN FILM?? IS A THING ???#also can I just say Blake has always had the worst hair ever and the fact she has a hair care line is insane bc SHE IS KNOWN TO HAVE BAD HAI #and I never thought her fashion was good like even when people were simping over her met gala outfits I NEVER EVER SAW THE VISION #anyways yeah lol #the interviewer thing triggered me lowkey like HOW RUDEEEE

Before I went to bed I saw the Youtube notif that TADC was going to Netflix and it INVADED my dreams so vividly I have not had such an episodic sequential serialized cohesive dream in months it was literally its own chapter its own short story

#I was Pomni it was literally Pomni POV #Caine had cooked up some sporty adventure and I was like Ummm...... no #So I found a glitch where I could hide in a technically out-of-bounds area #I had a theory that if I stayed super close to the ground I wouldn't be in the range of Caine's mod powers or whatever #Some random girl was w me I don't think she was important #Anyways I started thinking “This could hurt. When they leave #the map will not have to exist.”#I'd be crushed by the nonexistence of the area I'm in. When they come back I'll load in somewhere slightly different #and be stuck in the walls."#DIDN'T HAPPEN everything was OK #But at some point I was like man... sure is boring and scary. Sure wish my friends were here.#So I ended up finding them anyway LMAO #I told them what happened cuz they were obviously concerned and Caine got his feelings hurt???#Like. surprising moment of clarity. Everyone was shocked and uncomfortable.#Bro was like “I try so hard for U guys 🥺 I just don't get it. Why didn't you just tell me you wanted to stay home??”#Most everyone was like IDC UR OUR JAILER!! CRY ABT IT!! but me and Ragatha were coerced into pity...#Like yeah whatever. Sorry man. I'll be honest next time and not do things that could make me die. I think we were just caught off-guard.#Exchanging glances like “Wow... didn't know he could feel anything!” Like imagine if ur Furby just had an emotional outburst #and felt remorse abt it. WYD.#I think we held his hands or sum cuz all my dreams end like a Barbie movie #Episode ended and I was like Wow :) Great show #Sorta off-topic but the cafeteria today started playing very quiet carnival music for Hoco and I literally felt chills up my back cuz #I had been thinking abt Pommy all day...#I used to be enraptured by clown motif what happened #Did I throw it up #For the best...... for the best.

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.

Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.

#I'm so glad I got to grow up with these girls #I was originally gonna make a post of Barbie Daphne and Stella and be like. They remind me so much of each other #And how much I love characters like them #Because I do #But then I was like fuck it let's just make a post for all the girly girls because they're so good #So here we are. In a world of misogyny. We still have them. And I am so greatful #I'm sad I missed out on celebrating my femininity and stuff like this in my teen years because of just. Stuff I was going through #But I'm glad I'm doing it now. I've been getting into makeup for the past year. Mostly eye it's so fun #The Barbie movie. Dressing up for it. Being proud makeup and skirts and dressing up like I did as a girl. God it was so wonderful #I've not felt this connected to this part of myself in years. It has helped to much #It reminded me of my love for Barbie. The movies. The fairies and mairmaids. The bright colours and fashions #And my love for all of these shows. The outfits and designs I fell in love with. The friendships and sisterhoods in all of them.#Yes it's just Rarity. I know some of the others girls also fit. But some don't as much so I didn't wanna just put a group one #And I know Kim and some others aren't as girly as others. But she's still a good example.#Her and Monique's shopping trip and other stuff is engraved into my mind. I actually think about them a lot I love them #Daphne was also a masisve awakening for me. I had such a crush on her. And the Hex Girls.#If you're wondering why other shows aren't on here. Like Trollz or Powerpuff Girls or something. It's msotly based on what I watched #And I didn't really watch them I'm sorry but feel free to add more.#We're ignoring how I mispelled mermaids. I'm not going back to change that tag.#Anyway I love women basically. We're awesome.#Barbie #Scooby Doo #Bratz #Monster High #Kim Possible #My Little Pony #Winx #Mew Mew Power

thinking about when i had such intense phantom limbs as a kid i told my math teacher about it

#like. I've had phantom wings since i was a CHILD and I'm not even kidding #i remember specifically saying 'i pretend to have wings so much that i can just Feel them there all the time now'#and he reacted in a way where he didn't want to tell me that's weird bc i was a Kid but also he totally thought it was really weird #which. was a reaction i knew very well at the time. that kind of quiet 'i dont know how to react to that but ok'#the trying not to make a weird face about it #so i shut up about it ever since! and then when i was 20 i found out what otherkin was #i remember them specifically being pegasus wings too we've always loved pegasi it was entirely bc of the barbie movie #i can't remember what the term is. for when you're A Fucking Lot of things all at once? poly something?#but we've always been like that #our first OC was plural coded and otherkin coded to the absolute max it was insane #and she was fully and entirely a self insert (at the time. nowadays she's her own guy)#but like. she could absorb souls on the brink of death and communicate with them inside her head #and she could shapeshift into any of those souls' forms at will #and she was supposed to be some kind of chimera #her 'true form' that i made of her was just all of her different forms crammed into one body #like. one owl wing one dragon wing. a dolphin tail. a fox paw and a pegasus hoof. scales mixed with fur. human shaped body. horns #if we weren't a system at the time then we were at least REALLY REALLY susceptible to becoming one we've always been Like This #and I'm willing to say i was an otherkin kid in the same way i say i was trans before i knew what that was #i didn't say I Am A Boy i just said I'm the closest a girl can get to being a boy (a tomboy)#i always leaned towards boys interests and boyish things. in the same way i taught myself to walk like a cat and meow convincingly #(to a point where i meowed once and my sister yelled at me to put the cat down if she's meowing. i was not holding a cat)#i didn't know what being otherkin was but i spent about as much time as possible being as animal as i could get #and i got offended when my friends didn't want to be animals with me. i had a lot of Horse Girl friends as a result #(hard to avoid horse girls in the middle of rural ohio tbh)

every day i thank my lucky stars that i got to grow up in colorado before moving to arizona bc i know so many people who have lived here their whole lives and it is so fucking sad to me that they never got to experience a snow day in elementary school

#also BASEMENTS??? nobody has a fucking basement here (no one i know at least) bc the ground is too hard and dry #i had a finished basement as a kid and it was THE place for sleepovers movie nights video games etc #i was also an absolute fiend for american girl dolls and i had a little corner dedicated to all their furniture and stuff #and my sisters and i had this barbie playhouse tent thing like where else would that make sense but a basement?#OH and my grandma had a room under the stairs in her basement which was everything to me as a kid completely obsessed with harry potter #like damn my az friends truly have no idea what they missed out on #tbf they all had pools in their backyards which is crazy to a lot of people who don’t live in places like az florida california etc #but my grandma had a pool in colorado so i got that too #if you ignore all the mental illness and trauma my childhood was amazing like holy shit feeling ✨grateful✨#anyway if you never had a snow day as a kid you have my deepest condolences #lj.txt

just finished Jessie Gender's critique of Barbie as a reflection of lukewarm white cishet feminism and I feel ALIVE

#will probably compile my thoughts later but oh my goddddd somebody finally SAID IT #Barbie was such a fundamentally alienating experience for me #and the longer I thought about the movie and discussed it with my genderqueer platonic partner we both just got the ick about it lol #but i felt like i was going crazy bc everybody else was like IT'S SO GOOOD I FEEL SO SEEN #and I'm like 'girl where lol'#watching my cishet friends sob in the theater while I'm just sitting here with a 🤨 expression on my face #at the monologue #you know the one #ANYWAY I FEEL ALIVEEEE #MY SKIN IS CLEAR MY CROPS ARE WATERED JESSIE GENDER HAS DONE IT AGAINNNN

I was on mcyt wattpad as a small small SMALL child and I mean FUCKING TINY #and I get it!#Where are the fanartist tho I want art grrrrr #do I have to do everything myself #anyways guys can u tell that maybe i've found myself in a new yt fixation.... erm #like 4 chuckle sandwich podcasts and a barbie movie review and i'm in the trenches #seriously though i do think that most of it is stemming from my video creation fixation #i blame school coming up #SCHLATTS MONKEY VIDEOW???? Beautiful editing i want to edit like that #don't know the editor off the top of my head sorry #i'm going crazy over video creation honestly and they're my vessels (This is very hyperbole)#snazum talks #I have an idea cooking btw.... maybe I'll share it here when i'm done but otherwise i'm gonna be tight lipped about it :)#if ur a mootie/friend tho feel free to ask me in dms :D I can't help but want to ramble bout it #I may be a little shy though since it's not embarrasing per say but i also don't like talking bout it that much #It's nothing serious it's actually the most not serious thing ever but i feel like a bragging bitch when i talk about it so i don't #but also i want to talk about it. cause the subject matter isn't even what i'm proud about it's the idea of how to present it that is #this is so vague i'm so sorry i started fucking rambling in these tags jesus christ #why am i like this ANYWAYS YEAH BYE #EDIT: okay but tbf back to the original point i didn't think this shit would be main tagged?#I find it usually isn't when it comes to rpf stuff but what do i know #all i know is 2012/2014....#the trenches dude.#u don't want to see my old art it contains so many terrible terrible youtubers #I sure know how to pick em #i think the amount i ramble in tags really really represents my adhdness #i got fucking diagnosed and i'm scared to say that i'm just gonna say my quirkyness

The way I went into the Barbie Movie thinking it be a silly fun comedy and coming out with an existential crisis has me in clown shoes Mattel I’m gonna sue you gor making me cry five times in one film..

#like the whole message of identity and Barbara finding herself at the end made me explode #and the way women are affected by the patriarchy and their own issues of self and what it means to be a ‘woman’#like ARGH and the scene where she finally got to ‘feel’ Ive never related to Barbie more in my fucking life #the joy of human expression and emotion….#anyways solid like 9/10 #barbie #barbie movie #barbie movie spoilers #txt post #squid talks

barbie was fun to watch with friends but i am never watching anything directed by greta gerwig ever again, good fucking lord

#fly agaric #barbie spoilers #i really fucking wish the movie had been about existential horror* (like the tiny bits we got of it at the start and near the end)-#*(or just plain existentialism)#- instead of..... whatever all of that was #it wouldve been so much more interesting to me.#the outfits and props (including the kens) and allan were p fun tho i wont lie #but the whole... “patriarchy taking over barbieland” gerwig had going on..... was not it #and the smallpox comment really did come out of nowhere and disappeared just as quickly. who let that stay in the movie #and the ending was not that emotional at all i do not know why a bunch of women on tiktok wld feel the need to call their mothers afterward #way overhyped and very underwhelming #i did have an excuse to dress up tho (my friends complimented my make-up :D) so at least i had that #barbie (2023)

I so desperately want to life a ghibli-esque life where I see the wonders and joy in the mundane parts of life but that’s also impossible besties

#whimsy whispers #I do believe a big part of it is feeling both isolated and stuck #I feel so alone and like I’m never going to be anywhere other than where I am rn both like physically as in location wise and like idk #mentally and emotionally as well #like it sounds so easy to just like try and treat things as if they’re wonderful and nice but it’s just not #I can barely go anywhere there’s not really anywhere to go either nor is there anyone to see and it’s just hard to find joy in life when #you feel unwanted and like a burden #the weather is warmer the flowers are blooming and soon fireflies will be back but that’s still just not enough to make life seem worth it #it’s bleak and it’s nothing #delete later #sorry it’s been a bit since I’ve been so depressed on main but like #it all got to me again #even the things I have planned don’t feel worth it or like it’ll actually happen #sure my roommates and I agreed to see the new barbie movie and yo try and go to a ren faire #but honestly most likely neither will happen as is often the case #and so I don’t want to get my hopes up and honestly even if they do happen I don’t know if I care #I don’t know that I’ll even be happy or have fun #nothing is fun nothing is nice I just feel like every minute I spend like as a person is wasted #I feel like someone else deserves the time I have alive

And then she validates him as a whole separate being because he deserves to be and to find out who he is without her. And also because she doesn't want an accessory she doesn't want to be one either.

Doesn't seem to matter what I do I'm always number two. I'm just Ken.

Wearing my Predator shirt in hopes an annoying guy comments on it and I can tell him I’ve never enjoyed a single Predator movie

#as an Alien fan the Yautja are basically my in-laws #I got my hopes up with Prey but shit it off halfway through bc it just the same bullshit with an added layer of lame Hollywood Girl Power #shut* lol #I appreciate that they cast indigenous actors and stuff that was really cool #but it was literally just . you can’t do this you’re a GIRL #oh shit she’s doing it anyway!!!!! maybe…. girls CAN be useful ?!?#I’ll probably finish it someday (maybe) but idk it gave me the same feeling as the Barbie movie #aka #not for people who already have degrees in Gender Studies lmao
