Apparently I’ve been saying “frickin zazzed” when I mean highly energetic/caffeinated for like 10 years now and I just realised I picked that up from Dan Howell when I was like 14 so I’ve got that to contend with today

Thinking about barbie and the trends and conversations I’m seeing and having because of it. In particular all the stuff about girlhood. Don’t get me wrong, I love girlhood, I made one of the silly tik toks with memories with my female friends and family to the Billie Eilish song and cried while journaling about it two days ago. But the thing is I’m 23 right now and I’m still calling my experiences “girlhood” and I don’t know why. I’m a grown woman, technically. I pay rent and taxes and go to work and study and do all the things that a functioning adult in society has to (albeit begrudgingly and anxiously bc I and I’ve heard everyone else actually secretly have no fucking idea what we’re doing). So, shouldn’t what I’m experiencing now be womanhood? But something about that doesn’t sound right. Something about the word woman doesn’t sound right when being used to refer to me at all, but not in a gender way. I definitely identify as a female person, but being called a woman feels wrong. Being called a lady feels wrong unless the words “promising” “beautiful” and most importantly “young” come before it. I feel much more comfortable being called a girl, but by definition of the word I’m not a girl anymore. Is this a result of internal misogyny? Probably. Some amount with obsession over youth and beauty in the form of being child-like in order to be valued as a female person. Small and hairless and fragile and weak. Sweet and polite and naive and compliant. Some amount to do with the fact that “womanhood” still feels like it can only be reached if it included motherhood or some other kind of female caretaker role like wife to a useless man who can’t pick up his own laundry or cook himself dinner. Womanhood doesn’t sound like it includes concerts and dancing on nights out with my friends. Day trips to the beach and holidays to places I’ve never seen. Working hard to achieve goals and ambitions. Those seem to fit more neatly into girlhood than they do womanhood in my mind, but is that how it should be? Should I be forcing myself to call myself a woman even though the word sounds dirty to me?

Me: I hate Tao’s character

Tao: I’m fundamentally unlikeable. I try too hard, and I talk too much. I ruin everything.

Me: *weeps in everything I’ve ever felt*

#meganmakesapost #heartstopper #like me not liking him and him coincidentally being everything I don’t like about myself? shocking really #I appreciate heartstoper for the positive representation for the lgbt community #but like #I cant deal with all these simple problems and fluff it actually makes me inconsolably angry #but I think that’s a jealousy problem

Do you ever think about how a couple of producers and celebrity judges trying to make good tv literally accidentally changed millions of peoples lives? One Direction made me the person I am today, where would I be without them?

What if we all deleted the big social media networks and just went back to moshi monsters? From now on the only way to contact me is to leave a message on my pinboard and I can only respond during my one hour allotment of “computer time” like it’s 2009 again

#meganmakesapost #moshi monsters #I’m currently writing a paper on mental health outcomes of social media #and it’s crazy to think they could all be tracked back to my moshi monsters account at 9 years old

Dude I’m not a “____ is gonna be my year!” person in the slightest (who even is anymore), but I’ve just gotta say, as someone who was 13 and annoying in 2013, 2023 truly has been MY year

Bro sometimes I think I forget that one direction was a real thing. Like it’s been 13 years and I’m watching the video diaries right now and the fact that these normal young boys really went and did all of that and are still doing things and they’ve been in my life for so long and they’ve brought me so much joy and they still love what they do like HOW is that 16 year old with the curly hair now almost 30 finishing a three year long world tour and still so appreciative of the fans??!! Idk man I love them so much and I miss that time but I also love now too I’m so proud of them I love them I love them I love them

“respect the artist and their integrity” respectfully 33 year old music legend Taylor Swift isn’t the artist of Better Than Revenge. 18 year old Taylor Swift who’s boyfriend dumped her via phone call wrote that song and I think if she wants to sing about the things that the new girl does on the mattress that is okay

#meganmakesapost #speak now tv #better than revenge #better than revenge tv #taylor swift #like I feel like by recognising that the line was written out of a place of anger and hurt #and that she doesn’t actually believe that looking back is enough?? #idk if that’s correct but it’s how I feel
