Woman. You are a thousand stories long, with the depth of the

Woman.

You are a thousand stories long,
with the depth of the ocean
and an entire constellation
woven into your soul.

And you must remember this
before any man
tries to convince you
that you are any less.

GIRL, YOU WERE BORN WITH A FIRE INSIDE YOU, AND THIS WORLD IS DETERMINED TO STAMP IT OUT. YOU WILL SEE IT WHEN YOU STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND YOU ARE TOLD ‘IT ISN’T LADYLIKE TO RAISE YOUR VOICE.’ YOU WILL HEAR IT WHEN YOU WEAR SOMETHING THAT HUGS YOUR BODY AND FEEL THE UNCOMFORTABLE SENSATION OF BEING STRIPPED NAKED BY THE EYES OF MEN WHO CALL YOU NAMES YOU ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND. YOU WILL KNOW IT WHEN A MAN TRIES TO USE HIS STRENGTH TO HAVE HIS WAY WITH YOU THE FIRST TIME, AND YOU NEED TO USE YOUR FISTS/TEETH/LEGS TO GET HIM OFF. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT WHEN YOU SEE YOUR MOTHER’S EYES FILLED WITH TERROR BECAUSE YOU ARE AN HOUR LATER THAN YOU SAID YOU WILL BE HOME. BUT YOU MUST NEVER EVER LET THEM TAKE THOSE FLAMES FROM WITHIN YOUR SOUL, INSTEAD, YOU MUST BURN BRIGHTER THAN EVER BECAUSE YOU ARE A DAUGHTER OF THE SUN, AND YOU BELONG ONLY TO YOURSELF, NOT TO THIS WORLD. —Nikita Gill, For Girls Filled with Fire
Before you leave, please know this; I'd rather be the girl whose name dies at your lips every time you try to speak of me, than a girl you tell stories about at parties. What I'm saying is this, darling. I'd rather be your absinthe, than your cup of tea. format by irrestible

a lot of my life has been realizing that i would cross oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me
if it makes YOU FEEL BROKEN IN ANY WAY, you need to end it BEFORE IT ENDS YOU.
Every year for Halloween I wanted to be a pumpkin, sunflower, m&m, turtle. But, when you get older, the costumes tend to get smaller. Finessing curves into eyecandy instead of masterpiece. American beauty turned apple pie cutie. So, this year, I decided to be a school teacher, nurse, fairy, Wonder Woman. But, when I went to buy the costume I was like, "Where's the rest of it.? Is B for books or boobs? Was the toothfairy a stripper? To check temperatures or raise them? Oh, hell no. Heels?" Halloween has become a different type of freakshow and all that I am don't fit prettily into polyester and spandex. I'd much rather be a sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Lochness. Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience. Everybody knows I'm a motherfcking monster. Society is trying to squeeze the fantasy out of us--turn our feminine fatal. So, this year I think I'll be monster. Let me be mummy--empty of all organs so they'd never fail me. Only my heart would remain, the center of inteligence and emotion. But, I'd never need to feel another pair of greedy eyes on me. Monster. I'd much rather be vampire--my reflection disapearing every time I looked in the mirror so I wouldn't have to worry about flaws that stare blankly back at me. I will suck everyone woman's sterotype out of your throats. Monster. I've heard that some of the most beautiful women are the craziest ones. On a good day I'm human, on a full moon--werewolf that I exist when the lunar ticks. Ticking 'till the time comes when I'm finally comfortable in my own skin. Monster. Let me be your worst nightmare for one night. I'll shed away my wings and Betsy Johnson's and I'll play boogieman. See, I know what you're afraid of--A woman who can do bad, no evil, all by herself. But, nowadays, boogieman is a lot less frightening than a strong woman. Monster. But, no matter what garments we wrap ourselves in, a woman's status as trick, treat, or geek is not up for discussion. A woman dressing, acting, or being should be her choice. If a woman wants to wear a skimpy outfit, let it be her choice. If a woman wants to cover up let it be her choice. If I wanna be a motherfcking monster then let it be my choice. Is B for books or for boobs? Both. To check temperatures or raise them? Both. Was the tooth fairy a stripper? Maybe. But who cares? See, I'd much rather be woman and if it means that I must be a monster then Happy Halloween.
funny how when a girl is in love with a guy that doesn't love her back it's 'clingy' and 'pathetic' but when a guy loves a girl who doesn't love him back it's 'romantic' and 'heartbreaking'
