I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.
i stopped calling people ugly once I learned that ugly isn't real, it's about perspective. i might not think u cute, but somebody does. u might think I'm the ugliest bitch u ever seen, but somebody plotting to eat my ass. see? perspective.
One of the clearest signs of high intelligence is being unavailable to chaos, having absolutely no interest in impressing others or winning their approval, mastering the art of letting go & letting people talk shit about you.
I love a woman who has people confused. Some call her the sweetest thing walking. Others clear their throat before speaking on her. Baby, both parties may be correct. Some met her manners. Others met the consequences of theirs.
I tell people that when you have mastered the act of contentment, people start thinking you have everything. Contentment doesn’t cancel desire; it cancels desperation.
as an adult, especially as a woman, if you're reclusive and don't talk to people overexcitedly they automatically think you an arrogant, hubristic bitch who needs to be pulled down
