For every book lover…
May this kind of gift find you.
There’s something so special about giving a book.
It’s not just a gift; it’s a story waiting to be lived.
I hope someone gifts you books. You deserve this and more.
There’s a conversation happening on TikTok where the girls are finally talking about how a lot of men aren’t actually attractive.
Like you go to the grocery store and see a ton of stunning women, but men? You will remember how many months back you last saw a hot man.
If you currently have a job, please take care of it. Unemployment is a real concern, and the security that comes with employment is invaluable right now. 🤍🙏🏾
I pray that God removes everyone in your life who secretly gossips about you, puts you down, and doesn’t want to see you win. I pray that He replaces them with people who genuinely support you and want to see you happy and blessed.
Going through things on my own is why i've become such an independent person. i'm trying to recover from things i keep to myself. trying to silence the thoughts i don’t talk about and mend wounds that i don’t show i'm trying to heal because i know that nobody got me like i got me
Why are Gen Z so obsessed with people being neurodivergent or neurotypical? I’m sitting in a cafe and the girls on the table next me to me are trying to justify their rudeness and selfishness as symptoms of ADHD and are talking about one of their “neurotypical” friends behind her back saying they don’t know how long they can be friends with her because she doesn’t understand how their brains work.
Social media has so hugely influenced people into diagnosing themselves with being neurodivergent to the point where everyone seems to have ADHD nowadays.
The realization that you’ve grown past the age of being a ‘promising young person’ and are now just an underachiever is bitter in a way that’s nearly impossible to articulate
When I was in “Women’s and Gender Studies” in college, we spent a lot of time talking about “systems,” “the patriarchy” and all these hidden structures supposedly shaping women’s lives in the West
I entertained a lot of those ideas back then and I was trying my best to understand the frameworks they were teaching
But the one place I never gave them an inch on was women in the Middle East
Every time someone would say “that’s just their culture” something in me short-circuited. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t reconcile it
We were told American women were oppressed because of wage gaps or subtle social expectations, but when the conversation turned to women who could be punished by the state for showing their hair, suddenly we were supposed to become culturally sensitive (some of these lunatics even romanticized it!)
My professors used to get irritated with me when that topic came up bc they knew I wasn’t going to play along and my pushback would cause a rift in their narrative
They didn't like it when I pointed out the hypocrisy of calling Western women oppressed while treating literal legal restrictions on women’s bodies as a cultural difference
One of my professors even had a running joke she'd use to preface discussions on Islam—she'd do this smug smirk and say something to the effect of “we all know Stepfanie's take on Islam” as if I was the ridiculous one
Looking back, I wish I had the language and wit to verbally obliterate her but I was 22 and simply did not have the intellectual capacity yet. I didn't know the first thing about geopolitics, I just knew in my bones how fucking stupid it sounded to be bitching about making 20 cents less than men when women in the Middle East were being stoned to death for showing their hair
Even back then, before my politics changed, that contradiction never sat right with me. And it's one of the many reasons I despise so-called feminists so much today
