i cannot stand people who give advice like “you look beautiful just the way you are!” and “it’s on the inside that counts”. here’s the harsh truth about life: the better you look, the more you get away with. we don’t live in lala land, we live in the real world that pretty privilege exists. by looking good, you get out of situations easier most of the time, you get handed better opportunities, and it’s easier to get what you want out of life.

I grew up living a simple life in the country, which was wonderful but was also during a time when the world was changing. I grew up in a semi tradtional household. My mom did all the cooking, cleaning, child rearing, and so much more. She started teaching us girls at a young age how to cook and clean.

It truly terrifies me that we live in a world where wanting to fall in love and take care of that person is considered political and extreme.
