This dance right here

toxic

maybe no

Fuck wondering if you're lovable. Fuck asking someone else, "Am I there yet?" Fuck listening for the answer. Fuck waiting, alone, for a verdict that never comes. Don't grow up to be one of those women with a perpetual question mark etched into her brow: Am I good? Am I lovable? Am I enough? 

 You are here. Sit down. Feel your potential in this moment. You have accepted too little for too long. That is changing today. Breathe in. Draw a picture of yourself. Tape it to the wall, with the words: YOU ARE HERE. You are here. Cherish yourself.

What have I learned from a broken arm?

- morphine makes me a giggle factory
- having 2 functional arms quite helpful for activities (flossing, washing hair, opening, closing and carrying things)
- do not be alarmed if arm turns blue and hand swells into a puppet size. it's "healing"
- totally normal for left breast to swell into a megaboob twice the size of righty
- scope of wardrobe options shifted entirely to items with a generous "arm hole size" for cast accommodation
- stank arm? stuff dryer sheets in there
- jazz up arm cast with sling bling, like a nice scarf
- do not underestimate the ability to carry things around in arm sling
- the only way to sleep is with a proper pillow fort
- facial scars are beautiful
- deep down, New Yorkers are very kind, helpful people
- wear a bike helmet, guys

the best advice from the best of friends

maybe it is, maybe it isn't
no point in dwelling and it's not important
you're who you are regardless of his opinion
what he thinks doesn't change how good or bad you are
and i happen to think you're pretty fucking awesome

taking it down

On the patriarchy

Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

Actual conversation I had on Fulton Street:

Man:  Where did you get those boots?

Me:    Oh, I bought them off the internet.

Man:  The what?

Me:    The internet. You know, like amazon.com

Man:   ???????

Me:    Really? The internet?

Man:  So I can't buy them on this street?

Me:    No?
