I can’t stand overly critical people. If half of what you say and/or post is down talking others, you really need to re-evaluate yourself. Life is too damn short to be finding flaws in everything. How about next time you open your mouthpiece to complain about something, you just take a second to let it go and think about how you can put some positivity back into the world instead of spewing out those negative energy vibes.

I’m sure you don’t care about how others perceive you, but you should care about how your toxic frame of mind is affecting everyone around you. How am I supposed to keep my PMA when your bad attitude is polluting my aura? DAMN.

Also, no one likes a hypocrite. Seriously, get with it or zip it.

for women who know what they’re worth.

five—a—day:

Hey, sad eyes.
Hey, coffee house headache.
Hey, beauty.

Girl with the closed mouth
and the wispy legs, girl with the
ceremonious smile, the polite
head nod of recognition,
girl with so much fight inside
she has to brace her body against it.

You are a revolution.

They made a peace treaty of you
before, shut you up with war tactics,
shut you up with love.

You gave that up when the blows
kept coming, when the punches
rolled forward like a thunderstorm,
when the kisses tasted of vinegar.

You gave up taking what you
were given and began to demand
what you deserved.

You deserve to love yourself.

Get to know your heart like a good
book. Take it with you on your travels.
Coddle it like a sad child.

Hey, straight spine.
Hey, proud posture.
Hey, dignity-still-in-tact.

You did it.
You won.

Some of the best advice you’ll ever receive, in a handwritten illustrated essay.

"The nature of the few, the artists, whether they write or paint or play or not, is to live, to fight comfort in order to be more alive. To keep their senses sharp and their minds expanding. The many are against expansion of the mind, because it is painful, and they would rather give up the reward of enlarged vision and understanding rather than undergo the pain of growth."

"You’re still going to get criticized, so you might as well do whatever the fuck you want."

"I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them."

I feel like I’ve been walking around in a fog for the last four months. My brain is ground up mush, my body hurts, everything takes an enormous amount of energy, and I even get on my own nerves.  When does the fun part start again?

24 more weeks, 24 more weeks, 24. more. weeks.
