“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter
You know when a fast angry song comes on that you know every word to and you’re in just the right mood that your eyes light up with the fire and angst of a thousand punk rockers and you just feel so alive
yes virginity is a construct but i don’t think it’s unimportant who you have sex with for the first time & i don’t think it’s healthy that we’re now basically telling young girls that virginity isn’t real so it doesn’t matter who ur first time is with or how it happens. your first time having sex esp if you’re a teenager puts you in a very vulnerable position & the whole “virginity is a social construct” conversation has once again been warped and misconstrued in such a way that it’s convincing young women that it’s progressive to be cavalier about sex instead of having clear boundaries & being careful abt who they have sex with
