It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days… Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…

How can I be racist against white people when:

the90sfreak:

● I once shook a white person’s hand
● I smiled at a white baby at the park
● I have a ton of white friends on Facebook. I even send them happy birthday messages sometimes.

Rather than fighting for every woman’s right to feel beautiful, I would like to see the return of a kind of feminism that tells women and girls everywhere that maybe it’s all right not to be pretty and perfectly well behaved. That maybe women who are plain, or large, or old, or differently abled, or who simply don’t give a damn what they look like because they’re too busy saving the world or rearranging their sock drawer, have as much right to take up space as anyone else.

I think if we want to take care of the next generation of girls we should reassure them that power, strength and character are more important than beauty and always will be, and that even if they aren’t thin and pretty, they are still worthy of respect. That feeling is the birthright of men everywhere. It’s about time we claimed it for ourselves.

I don’t understand why PoC who are so against racism will perpetuate it against whites. Like it’s not okay to be racist. It’s just not. But somehow if it’s white people we’re stereotyping it’s okay…? Because white people are all nasty and awful racists themselves? But if a white person calls them…

Again, Can you be racist towards White people?

Maybe in an alternate universe.

Tonight, I feel ugly.

Except you’re beautimus.

Yeah! Feeling good! Feeling positive about the future! Feeling totally on-board with the direction my life’s going! Feeling confident in myself as a person! Feeling confident in my abilities! Feeling like lying my ass off! Feeling like total shit! Feeling like I wanna move to a cave in the remotest part of the Antarctic wilderness! Yeah!

How to tell if a food blog owner is white:

1. Find a recipe for “Baked Chicken Bacon Ranch Taquitos with Avocado Ranch”.

2. That’s pretty much the best way.
