It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

Treating women like idiots has the additional consequence of making women less likely to report symptoms in general. It’s really exhausting

At this point gender basically exists to sell us stuff.

Because you only get one shot at life.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

I barely had a chance to say “What’s taking him so long?” before he stepped up to the counter to ask me what he could help me with. Me. Not my friend who had been standing there for a minimum of twenty minutes waiting for assistance, but ME, the white girl.

[N]o one held my molester down and called the police for what he did to me. He was quietly escorted away, and over the course of a few months, the whispers of support turned into accusations.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?
