i saw a girl on tiktok say she views being mean to men as a way of honoring her ancestors for all of the times they had to quietly deal with male fuckery and you know what. yea, yea i like that
I grew up watching my mother have fun in her 30s, traveling, looking good & having a full life. I watched sex and the city and watched women have their best life in their 30s. So I’ve never understood the notion that 30s seem to be the end for women. That’s when it gets good.
One of my favorite Dolly stories is one Julia Roberts told about being on the set of Steel Magnolias. It was, naturally, very hot and humid, and Julia turned to Dolly and said, "Aren't you hot? With the wig and everything? Just, you know, just say it's hot!"
And Dolly looked at her and said, "When I was a little girl, I used to dream about being famous and rich, and now I'm both of those things. So I'm not going to complain."
May we all be so grateful and gracious when our dreams come true.
