Bookstore love 💖📚
Idk who needs to hear this but stop being so hard on yourself. You’re human. You’re going to have your good days, your bad days, your moments of forgetfulness. You’re going to make mistakes, say the wrong thing, and not everyone you meet will love who you are. You are human, and you are trying your hardest.
The cognitive dissonance caused by a society that tells its children to “follow their dreams” through messages in films, literature, etc. and then punishes them for not choosing safe, money making careers in adulthood is fascinating, to say the least
there’s just so much about the stress of living as a woman thats hard to explain to men beyond just like, the most explicit and overt sexism/misogyny. its like this tightly wound ball of all these behaviors and expectations and mannerisms that even most women are not consciously aware of half of them. you just get the feeling that something is not right, like it’s unfair. but you can’t explain why because it’s never simply just one thing or action done by another person- it’s that your whole life has always felt this way because the systematic dehumanization of women is so deeply insidious and invisible.
