Mental Purgatory

I’m Eve, who eats the forbidden fruit. I’m Pandora, who opens the box. I’m an idealistic female who desires a society absent of gender and racial inequalities. I’m also a realist and I acknowledge that there’s a very slim chance this will happen anytime soon. But if no one strives for the change, then there’s no chance at all.

I very much love Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Nicks, the beautiful artwork of Gustav Klimt, Led Zeppelin, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1&2, books, KNOWLEDGE (intelligence and wisdom are sexy), and non sense.

on “attention whores”

theoceanandthesky:

gossamergrins:

I don’t see what’s so freaking wrong with them.

Some girls dress up and/or get fierce because they want to. Some do it because they like attention. And I don’t see why either of those things is so fucking bad.

Because when boys seek out attention? They’re the lovable class clowns, the comedians in the gang, the bosses, the badasses. And when a girl acts up, she’s an attention whore, needy, and has no self-respect. Wanting to be the center of attention isn’t a gendered thing - it’s a goddamn personality trait.

So you can take your shitty double standards and shove ‘em. 

had a conversation with my friend about this yesterday.
