Look into the flames and see what they say 🔥

Going back home tomorrow!

Made a promise to myself today that I would not let the narrative others have about me bleed into my own.

When that happens, you voice other's opinion.

Hear it from the horse's mouth.

When the horse is in a mood.I

Right now, I'm holding back laughter from a lot of things that got blown out of proportion.

Real funny.

You can be that damsel in distress or you can just pack your shit up to patch things up with your family.

But I mean I went to an all girl's school, am the eldest of two younger brother, was head girl and prefect, joined a feminazi society and played with action man.

So........ok

I keep getting told to lower my standards

no

my standards will remain high

it's a shame I associate myself with those that have poor taste

Sometimes being kind and patient doesn't work out.

to anyone blindly swallowing th belief that

a) marriage is the only means of safety and security because having your identity unhealthy enmeshed to a man is the sole pursuit of happiness

or

b) living a single life is therefore an obligation in sharing things with your peers

sharp minds break weak ideas apart

it's not scientifically backed up

it's a notion

positively viewed by societal expectations

a necessity - absolutely not

The fact of the matter is more that 4000 of patriarchal and fraternal claim to a man's life in wealth and glory is pretty solid to state hey where are the women in this narrative? right? pretty intimidating but I suppose there's still time - 3900 years in fact so stick around boys

it's going to be a bumpy ride for y'all

Trying to find my favourite coffee shop in my home city online so I gear myself up for when I get home

It's like looking for a needles in a haystack

Found it!

It's closed.

But I found out that the area I was looking at is equivalent to the South of the city where I am.

Shows what I was surrounded with and my "normal" and why I'm miserable here...
