You are adequate, and I like maps.

I am very tired of letting other people's opinions affect my decisions and choices.

The important thing is that I'm happy and this is making me happy. Who cares about anything else?

No half measures.

I want someone who is not ashamed of me.

I'd burn the city down to show you the light.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Let's be honest, though: when have I ever?

All I know is that I'm not good enough for a lot of people, and there's nothing I can do to change that. That's their decision, not mine, and there is absolutely nothing within my power that will make them feel differently. I will never be worth love to him, or worth time to him, or worth friendship to her. That's fine. That's a part of life.

It doesn't make it hurt any less.

I am tired of feeling this way.
I am tired of thinking things will be different.
I am not going to offer myself to someone that doesn't want me anymore.

You are adequate, and I like maps.

This is long overdue.

To all you insane "feminists" out there: yes, women should be proud of who they are as women. Yes, women shouldn't let men tell them what to wear or how to act or what's appropriate for them to say. Yes, women should be their own people and no one else's expectations of the perfect lady. But listen. Just because a woman falls in love with a man, that does not make her any less of a woman. She can still be a beautiful, strong, independent woman while she makes him pancakes in the morning or puts on makeup to look good for him or responds when he calls her "baby".

There's a difference between being a feminist, one who really wants women to be accepted and equal, and being a woman who hates men. That's not feminism; that's misandry. If I happen to very much enjoy being called "babe", I am no less a woman than you. I am not weak, I am not dependent on a man, and I am certainly not pathetic. I'm just a girl looking for love, the same as anyone else.

Feminism is cool.
Judging people is not.
