[love letter to self]
i donāt think so. but, i forgive you, girl, who tallied stretch marks into reasons why no one should get close. i forgive you, silly girl, sweet breath, decent by default. i forgive you for being afraid. did everything betray you? even the rain you love so much made rust out of your jewellery? i forgive you, soft spoken girl speaking with fake brash voice, fooling no one. i see you, tender even on your hardest days. i forgive you, waiting for him to call, i forgive you, the diets and the cruel friends. especially for that one time you said āi fucking give up on love, itās not worth it, iād rather be alone foreverā. you were just pretending, werenāt you? i know you didnāt mean that. your body, your mouth, your heart, made specifically for loving. sometimes the things we love, will kill us, but werenāt we dying anyway? i forgive you for being something that will eventually die. perishable goods, fading out slowly, little human, i wouldnāt want to be in a world where you donāt exist.
Warsan Shire, āand were you being good to yourself?ā (via lifeinpoetry)

This is honestly the best poster I have found in a while supporting breast cancer awareness. I am honestly so sick of seeing, āset the tatas freeā and āsave the boobiesā. There is no reason in hell a life threatening, life ruining disease should be sexualized. āDonāt wear a bra day,ā go fuck yourselves. Youāre not saving a pair of tits, youāre saving the entire package: mind, body, and soul included. Women are not just a pair of breasts.

I didnāt see this on my dash at all yesterday or the day before, which made me sad, so Iām posting about it now.
That handsome young man right there? Thatās Kwasi Enin, a high school student who was accepted toĀ all eight Ivy League schools. Not one or two, butĀ ALL OF THEM.
The 17-year-old violist and aspiring physician applied to all eight [Ivy League schools], from Brown to Yale.
The responses began rolling in over the past few months, and by late last week when he opened an e-mail from Harvard, he found heād been accepted to every one. School district officials provided scanned copies of acceptance letters from all eight Monday. Yale confirmed that it was holding a spot for Enin. (x)
KwasiĀ is 11th in a class of 647 at William Floyd in New York, meaning heās in the top 2% of his class. He scored 2,250 out of 2,400 points on the SAT. And by the time this kid graduates, heāll have taken 11 AP courses. Heās also a musician who sings in his schoolās a capella group and volunteers in his local hospitalās radiation department.
I just wanted to highlight this kid and his amazing achievements. Heās the kind of future our world needs.

"One of the most incredible things about getting engaged, which we had no idea would be coming back our way, is the amount of love that just comes flooding back. I thought it was just all about us declaring that we were in love and getting married, but actually itās the world going, āWe love you too!ā Itās amazing. Family, friends, the world ā¦ itās amazing." (x)
