My coworker used to take the long way home every night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding “taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
ver niños muertos todos los días por un genocidio, millonarios pédofilos libres, violencia y barbarie por todos lados, y la apatía del mundo sí te descompone por dentro
I wanted to see my comfort movie again as I am doing some puzzles, but it passed half an hour and it’s still paused cause i am contemplating if i am ready to see it or not 😭
Creo que la peor parte de esto es que no puedes explicarle a nadie realmente como te sientes. No sabes cómo explicar que es una perdida tan válida como cualquiera otra, pero que todos esperan que sigas como si nada, porque, vamos, era solo un artista...
Niall being the only one to not post at the moment about it, is taking me to a spiral of worry. wished i could hug him and help him go through this as he always helped me to go through my stuff💔
I am really lucky to have never had to experience grief. This, i am sure this is the closest feeling i’ve ever had to it and i can’t process it sanely. Not only mourning him, but my whole childhood and teenage years💔
people are not mourning the man liam payne became, they are mourning the man he used to be and the man they grew up with. the man that was part of something that shaped millions of peoples lives.
i dont justify ANY of his actions and havent been a fan of him for years but he was still apart of so many of our childhoods being in our favorite band. im just speechless. my love and thoughts go out to his family, friends, and especially his son💔
