I just find it very funny how older people be asking us why do we like kpop idols and calling them effeminate while this was their crush:

crying in north and south

Not to be dramatic, but “I do not wish to possess you,” *voice breaking* “I want to marry you because I love you” completely reset my brain

God gives the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers, I say. Fully knowing that my "strongest battles" consist in trying not to gag when I find fat in the meat I'm eating, ignoring my misophonia while eating in company and fighting my terror of the sliding doors at the entrance of the metro station.

the possessiveness I feel over fictional, ancient, and historical women being villainized instead of being recognized as complex and nuanced characters and figures. this assignment of villainess or badness plagues me and I simply wish to know them as they saw themselves and not the way the men who wrote them saw them.

Boys be like "ugh, women expect too much, their standards are too high"

I've recently found out about the law of assumption. According to this idea, you can manifest or attract whatever you want or want to be simply by thinking about it very hard and basically convincing yourself. They say it can help boost your self esteem if you actively try to convince yourself that you're beautiful and attractive, because you'll start to act like it and people will subconsciously treat you accordingly.

I think that I'm too self aware to be able to successfully pretend to be attractive when I'm around others. I fear I'd become a parody of myself. I'm terrified that if I tried to convince myself that I'm good-looking I'd turn into Michael Scott.

Daily reminder to myself of that one time when, before I was going out, my mum told my brother to stop me "at whatever cost" if I was going to be embarrassing. To which my brother replied: "All I can do is to prevent her from getting ME in embarrassing situations. 'Cause she can't be stopped."

So... apparently my superpower is being embarrassing. Watch out humans, for I am also unstoppable.

Okay so, I've recently got a layered haircut 'cause I cut my hair very short last year and as it grows I'm trying different styles... a couple of days ago my 13-year-old brother came to me and just said: "I like your new haircut, you know? Now you kinda look like Oscar Wilde." And just like that, he turned and WALKED AWAY without an explanation.

However, since it's not even the first time men make the weirdest comparisons regarding my hairstyles just because I have short hair, I'm gonna drop here some of the people I've "allegedly" looked like:

1. Can Yaman

2. The Beatles ("just all of them")

3. George Harrison

4. Adrien Agreste (from Miraculous Ladybug)

5. Oscar Wilde

I look forward to see who I'm gonna look like next.

Now that I'm thinking of it, maybe I should clarify that English is not my first language and that I've been calling Cardan Cardigan for the whole time while reading The Cruel Prince

I don't know why but every time I see Taylor Swift's song Cardigan my brain is convinced it's a misspelling for Cardan (Greenbriar) and then I remember it's an actual word and normal people daily use it unironically in their lives. So it'd be more or less like this:

Me: *reads Cardigan in the list of songs on Spotify*

Me: *chuckles*

Me: oh, right.

Jane Austen, speaking facts from 1813

Darcy: A woman should possess the knowledge of the world, everything under the sun, including languages, science, books, music, house-keeping, social status, class, cooking, and everything. A rational and open creature I want.

Elizabeth: But have you seen such a creature, who possesses all the points you just mentioned?

Darcy: Well, ah, you see…

Elizabeth: You must not have encountered such a woman because such a woman doesn’t exist at all.

Darcy: What makes you say that? Don’t you have the highest regard for your own sex?

Elizabeth: You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy. I have the highest regard for my sex. That’s exactly why I refrain from imposing such unrealistic expectations on myself, women, and anybody in general. :)

Darcy: …

….

……

Fine, you win.

[For the following week]

Darcy: *standing ominously near Elizabeth and listening silently to all her conversations*

Bingley: alright, let's start again and lemme know where the hell I lost you.

[At the ball]

Bingley: I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Darcy, but just standing there ominously doesn't count as socializing.

Just finished watching The Knight Before Christmas and, honestly, what the hell. This movie was surreal on so many levels.

When I looked up some reviews to see if I was the only one thinking it was quite silly, I stumbled on this piece of art:

And I was like, well, same.

Just realised I might have mansplained a word to a guy I met the other day.

We were playing a game that was quite like taboo but we had to make a list of words for the other team to guess. I suggested a word that was the equivalent of yearning in my mother language (we all spoke that language) and he asked me what that was. I said it was a feeling of uncontrollable desire and craving and he was like "oh, so like the verb... to yearn".

At that moment I didn't really think about it but now I just had a sort of epiphany... did I mansplain the word "yearning" to an adult man?
