And the moral of the story is, attempts at tyranny will not prevail in these United States. I wonder how this will be interpreted by historians in 200 years.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

I fucking hustle. I live my life in such a way that I will never be left vulnerable or unprepared.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

Just because something is generally done in a certain way, doesn’t mean you have to do it that way.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

Embrace everyone you meet with an open mind and open heart.

Why is it that a man with his shirt off posing on the beach is just “lookin’ good, bro” but woman posing in a string bikini is “seeking attention.”

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

People need to chill the fuck out and embrace being present, conscious beings that have the brain capacity to make epic, meaningful love to other humans. That is what poetry, music and art are all about.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

I am surrendering to all of this. I am going to let it wash over me like a wave. The wave will cover me, soak me to the bone. But I will remain standing, my feet will still be planted on the ground. The water will drip off and eventually dry, and there I will be, still standing.

My place in this world is not to satiate your needs.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

I am not afraid of getting older. I am better now than I have ever been. I am excited when I imagine how much more I will grow in the next 10 years.

If I’m in a bad mood you tell me to “stop being bitchy, you look so much better when you smile,” but when he’s in a bad mood you say “he’s just upset, leave him alone.”

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

You are sacred. Stop downplaying yourself.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

I’m happy as I am.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

Be a vibe.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

You are a muse and you don’t even know it.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

Take their breath away with your fire.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

You don’t have to sacrifice your feminity to be a fucking warrior.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

Nothing else exists when art does.

[The Red Shieldmaiden @r_shieldmaiden]

I’ll just keep being me over here, and you can keep judging me over there. ✌🏼

Not all girls want to be skinny like the supermodels. Some of us want to have two handfuls of ass on each cheek.

Life is made to be experienced, not controlled.
