“Why is there so much self-denigration and envy? Because every woman somehow finds herself, without her consent, entered into a beauty contest with every other woman. No matter how irrelevant to her goals, how inappropriate to her talents and endowments, or how ridiculous the comparison, women are always compared one to another and found wanting. Hillary Clinton’s haircuts…get as much press coverage as [her] words and actions.”

Nancy Etcoff, Survival of the Prettiest (via dancewiththedevilonyourback)

Said far better than I ever could. That’s why I end up unwittingly comparing myself

“I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself ” Simone de Beauvoir (via oniverse)

thatkindofwoman: “I want a woman who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there.” - Henry Rollins

animalstalkinginallcaps: HEY, DO YOU EVER WONDER IF YOU’RE GOING TO DIE WITHOUT ONCE HAVING EXPERIENCED TRUE AND MUTUAL LOVE? LIKE YOU’RE JUST GOING TO DRIFT THROUGH THE MUTED GREY FOG OF A FEW THOUSAND LONELY DAYS GRASPING FOR MEANING IN ALL THIS CHAOS WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ANY OF IT WORTH IT? SECOND QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT? I’M STARVING.

“Fat people who love themselves scare the shit out of people who don’t love themselves. Even fat people who are TRYING to love themselves scare the shit out of people who can’t do the same. We force people to have to look at why they hate their bodies because we are “supposed” to hate ours and we don’t. And sometimes they have no idea what to do with that, so they act like assholes.” Tigress Osborn (via erinkyan)

“Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.” William O’Rourke (via creatingaquietmind)
