buying ppl things is SUCH a rush.. even if it’s just like.. a bag of their favorite chips or whatever.. the thought of someone experincing even a split-second burst of happiness bc they didn’t expect to get some of their favorite chips that day? what a thrill! love it

My tummy doesn’t have to be cute. It holds my internal organs.
My thighs don’t have to “crush men’s skulls”. I use them to carry myself.
My stretch marks don’t have to be tiger stripes I earned. They came when I grew.

Stop.

This!

I feel like even body positivity is too focused on, like, the appearance of the body. I know I became a whole lot happier with my body when I started thinking of it less in terms of how it looked (to me or anyone else) and realized, that, like…

When I feel cool breeze on my skin on a really hot day, my body did that for me.

When I step into a bath after a hike, and my muscles ache, but in a good way, and the steam all around me makes me feel like a flower blooming, my body did that for me.

And the hike before it, and standing on a large rock breathing the raw winter air seeing the power of the half-frozen river. That too.

When I’ve had a plate of pasta puttanesca, and I chopped and sauteed the ingredients and now I’m full-but-not-uncomfortable, and warm all over, and perfectly content, my body did that for me.

My body doesn’t have to look awesome to be awesome. It’s awesome because it’s where I live.

Best comment.

When people go off about how English is the worst language, I just wanna point out a few things:

– Our future tense requires only one word (looking at you, Spanish)

– Words don’t change meanings depending on tone (Cantonese)

– We don’t live in some bizarre Beauty And The Beast world where we give inanimate objects genders (romance languages, German)

– Likewise, we don’t have have two different words for “they” because we don’t care whether “they” were male or female (Spanish, French)

– There’s no formal “you” because we don’t play mind games about whether or not we respect you (Spanish, German)

– We don’t alter the whole fucking language based on how much we respect you (Japanese)

– The letters and sounds might not be consistent, but at least we have letters, not just pictures (Mandarin)

– We don’t have a fucking stupid tense specifically for talking to two people because some idiot decided that a two-person tense was necessary (Arabic)

So yeah, I think we’re doing okay as a language
