“It is okay to want your own happiness. It’s okay to care about yourself the most. You are not obligated to sit there and smile and swallow every bit of shit everyone heaps on you. You are more than furniture, you’re more than window dressing, you’re not their shiny toy. You’re human, and you have the right to say “That was shitty of you”. You have a right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesn’t realize you have this right, and they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours.”

do you guys realize we can change our lives any time we want like you can just go ahead and delete ur blog, stop eating meat, shave or head, start running, tell that person you hate why you hate them so much, confess your love to someone and kiss them unexpectedly like why don’t we do that

Because who wants to delete their blog?

nprmusic:

In an essay in this month’s issue of The Atlantic, Colin Fleming argues that the Fab Four’s most emblematic, “Beatle-esque” year was 1963, before they’d even made it big in the States. His evidence? A set of sessions that John, Paul, George and Ringo recorded that year at the BBC, which Fleming argues are the quintessence of everything the grouped would be come.

Hear the sessions, and the debate, on today’s Weekend Edition.

hisstericalhysterectomy:

My friend, a while ago, accused me of “playing house” with my boyfriend, as we temporarily live together.

I was, at first, offended. But the more and more I think about the parallels between playing house as a child and doing it as an adult, the more poignant, important and even vastly different…

“

Your daughter’s face is a small riot,
her hands are a civil war,
a refugee camp behind each ear
a body littered with ugly things.

But God,
doesn’t she wear
the world well?

”

- Warsan Shire, from “Ugly” (via vonberno)
