What a time to be alive

[goma @soigomaa]

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.

your SPOUSE is the one who’ll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who’ll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you’re ever too sick to stand. this isn’t just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it’s about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn’t enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life’s ugly parts... that’s what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won’t carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it’s HARD TO LOVE

A mi no me importa que haga Phoebe Waller Bridge el resto de su carrera porque nos dio Fleabag y esta escena con *de pie* Kristin Scott Thomas que mujer.

The “Baby Mine” scene in Dumbo (1941) is still one of Disney’s most devastating moments. Dumbo reaching for his mother through the bars, her cradling him the only way she can.

“Girls mature faster”

No ...girls get punished earlier, blamed earlier, sexualized earlier, and expected to cope earlier.

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a lambo or birkins.

I want to be rich so I can control my time and go to the gym at 2 pm on a wednesday.

sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.

so I can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.

spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.

that’s my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

My wife stopped saying "thank you" when I did the dishes.

I noticed.

I was offended.

"I'm helping," I thought. "Where's the gratitude?"

One night I said it out loud.

"I did the dishes. Again."

She looked at me like I'd asked for a medal.

"You live here too."

That's when it hit me.

I wasn't "helping."

I was living in my own house and acting like a guest who occasionally tidied up.

She didn't need help.

She needed a partner who stopped waiting to be thanked for what he should've been doing anyway.

Your wife doesn't need a helper.

She needs a man who stops keeping score.

my hot take is that i don’t think that gender disappointment should be an accepted or normalized thing.

la vida pide mucho y yo solo quiero pasar los findes así

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The reveal that “The Bent Neck Lady” is Nell’s future self haunting her life is heartbreaking. Hill House bends time in the most chilling way.

“you just want an easy life.”
yeah, that’s kinda the point.

Adulting so bad that one unproductive day feels like failure.

Princess treatment doesn't mean he buys you gifts 24/7, drives you around or pays for everything. It means he doesn't let you go to bed upset, listens to you, treats you delicately the way he talks and holds you, gives you priority no matter how busy he is.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

a girl on tiktok said “IN ORDER TO BE IN A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP YOU GOTTA TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT BOTHER YOU... EVEN IF YOU AGREE TO DISAGREE” and i think y’all need to engrave this into your soul.
