“How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.”

- Charles Bukowski (via larmoyante)

A month ago I finished my last AP exam which meant the end of high school. I should have felt a huge sense of relief but on the contrary. After going, going, going for so long it’s challenging to simply exhale. So I went and hung out with my counselor and he told me a month from now I’d feel it. I’d be relieved and focusing on poignant moments.

And to an extent, I am.

I was supposed to be blowing bubbles and sitting in a pool but here’s what I did instead:

Went on a bike ride and made friends with a snapping turtle.

Got my guy friend to sit through OTH with me

Watched my brother play baseball

And listened to my grandpa tell me about the “olden days” and his rebellious adolescent days.

The last part was probably my favorite because I love listening to my family and I’m grateful to have them around.

But I don’t know if I’ve quite exhaled yet. And maybe I never fully will because I’m bad at letting go.

In fact I still feel slightly lost because I’m used to being busy and not used to having the freedom that I do currently.

But I also like it, and it’s time for me to start figuring out how to live without the need of a goal or agenda, but simply being.

Hi. I know I don’t have very many followers and whatnot, but if anyone sees this, could you maybe pray for my mom? She has a lot of health problems and they think she’s going blind so next week, she’s having eye surgery. I’m just really scared and I guess we could use all the prayers we can get. Thanks if you do, and if you don’t that’s okay too. I love you no matter what. Ok bye friends.

Why Society Still Needs Feminism

Because to men, a key is a device to open something. For women, it’s a weapon we hold between our fingers when we’re walking alone at night.

Because the biggest insult for a guy is to be called a “pussy,” a “little bitch” or a “girl.” From here on out, being called a “pussy” is an effing badge of honor.

Because last month, my politics professor asked the class if women should have equal representation in the Supreme Court, and only three out of 42 people raised their hands.

Because rape jokes are still a thing.

Because despite being equally broke college kids, guys are still expected to pay for dates, drinks and flowers.

Because as a legit student group, Campus Fellowship does not allow women to lead anything involving men. Look, I know Eve was dumb about the whole apple and snake thing, but I think we can agree having a vagina does not directly impact your ability to lead a
college organization.

Because it’s assumed that if you are nice to a girl, she owes you sex — therefore, if she turns you down, she’s a bitch who’s put you in the “friend zone.” Sorry, bro, women are not machines you put kindness coins into until sex falls out.

Because only 29 percent of American women identify as feminist, and in the words of author Caitlin Moran, “What part of ‘liberation for women’ is not for you? Is it freedom to vote? The right not to be owned by the man you marry? The campaign for equal pay? Did all that good shit get on your nerves? Or were you just drunk at the time
of the survey?”

Because when people hear the term feminist, they honestly think of women burning bras. Dude, have you ever bought a bra? No one would burn them because they’re freaking
expensive.

Because Rush Limbaugh.

Because we now have a record number of women in the Senate … which is a measly 20 out of 100. Congrats, USA, we’ve gone up to 78th place for women’s political representation, still below China, Rwanda and Iraq.

Because recently I had a discussion with a couple of well-meaning Drake University guys, and they literally could not fathom how catcalling a woman walking down University Avenue is creepy and sexist.
Could. Not. Fathom.

Because on average, the tenured male professors at Drake make more than the tenured female professors.

Because more people on campus complain about chalked statistics regarding sexual assault than complain about the existence of sexual assault. Priorities? Have them.

Because 138 House Republicans voted against the Violence Against Women Act. All 138 felt it shouldn’t provide support for Native women, LGBT people or immigrant women. I’m kind of confused by this, because I thought LGBT people and women of color were also human beings.
Weird, right?

Because a girl was roofied last semester at a local campus bar, and I heard someone say they think she should have been more careful. Being drugged is her fault, not the fault of the person who put drugs in her drink?

Because Chris Brown beat Rihanna so badly she was hospitalized, yet he still has fans and bestselling songs and a tattoo of an abused woman on his neck.

Because out of 7 billion people on the planet, more than 1 billion women will be raped or beaten in their lifetimes. Women and girls have their clitorises cut out, acid thrown on them and broken bottles shoved up them as an act of war. Every second of every day. Every corner of the Earth.

Because the other day, another friend of mine told me she was raped, and I can no longer count on both my hands the number of friends who have told me they’ve been sexually assaulted. Words can’t express how scared I am that I’m getting used to this.

Because a brief survey of reality will tell you that we do not live in a world that values all people equally and that sucks in real, very scary ways. Because you know we live in a sexist world when an awesome thing with the name “feminism” has a weird connotation. Because if I have kids someday, I want my son to be able to have emotions and play dress up, and I want my daughter to climb trees and care more about what’s in her head than what’s on it. Because I don’t want her to carry keys between her fingers at night to
protect herself.

Because feminism is for everybody, and this is your official invitation.

I feel like a broken record.
Unable to rid you from my thoughts
which you certainly don’t deserve.
Because its the same damn thing every time.
You trust me, open up to me, make me feel important
But not important enough.
Because I’m not her.
I should just cut you out
I’m better than this.
Ive grown so much.
This is so old & annoying
But I let it happen
