I cannot stress enough how important it is to speak up for yourself when someone is crossing your boundaries or dismissing your feelings. You are your biggest advocate. No one else can read your mind or feel what you feel.
Telling a woman who was a victim of abuse that her experiences aren't valid because you've had a positive interaction with her abuser is one of the lowest, most disgusting things you can do.
Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
You have to stop forcing “lifelong bestie” energy on people who are really just “brunch friend,” “outside friend,” or “I only call you when I need to laugh” friend. Once I learned how to categorize people, I stopped feeling betrayed & started feeling clear. Everybody not a villain… some folks are just in the wrong category.
Somebody said don't be afraid to spend money on concert tickets and travel. Be afraid of growing old and realizing the only place you ever went was work.
And I couldn't agree more.
I'm kind of an absent friend like i will love you with my whole heart and go out of my way to give you any help you need but I tend to live in my own world and suck at keeping up communication and I'm really sorry to anyone who takes that personally.
This is actually INSANE! she's taking a major hit career-wise this action alone, ntm the enemies she's created by firing her manager & being loudly pro pal! Don't ever tell me "big celebs" CAN'T show solidarity coz they'll 'lose' a lot in the process. This is how you SHOW TF UP!
Bus drivers should have also gone on strike along with TFL cause what I’ve seen since this morning is insane. If your company can’t allow you to WFH for a week due to these strenuous circumstances then everything is actually flawed. Before you come and tell me “there are jobs you cannot do from home” I’m not talking about those.
