[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

A guy that drinks and a guy that doesn't drink were asked what influenced their position with alcohol.

1st guy: My father was a drunkard. I looked at him and knew I didn't want that for me.

2nd guy: My father drinks so I naturally took after him.

A polygamous man and a monogamous man were asked why they took that path.

Poly: My dad was polygamous. I didn't want that for me.

Mono: My dad was polygamous.

Do you understand where I am going now?

Your parents having a beautiful/toxic relationship does not guarantee you'll have one too. Being loved at home or not, will not determine the fate of your relationship. You'll have to decide for yourself what kind of relationship you want. You can use your environment as a lesson or an example. The choice is yours. You accept the love you think you deserve.

This also applies to how you raise kids. You can decide to copy your environment because you like how you were raised or disregard it because you loathe it. It is always a choice. Environment gives exposure but you are solely responsible for your choices.

There comes a day in your 20s when the generational difference between you and your parents suddenly becomes crystal clear and you have to make peace with the fact that there’s some part of them that will never change because that’s just how they were raised by their times.

People in Arizona are being sent to burn units in large numbers at emergency rooms simply from falling down outside and burning the shit out of themselves on the concrete.

Barbie was so inspiring. Now I’m going after my dream job

[HB•RAINEY™️ @RaineyOvalle]

Because of their relationship with accessories in general. Women usually buy whatever they think is cute regardless of the material. Men usually buy jewelry specifically to flex it as a status symbol.

i really loved barbie and the themes around gender inequality and holding women to unrealistic expectations, but i also hope we don't neglect the themes around ken/men in society who feel lonely and alienated and thus turn to patriarchy out of anger and desperation
