“Listen to me closely now: The people who dare to ask for an expansive, life-altering love, who will be alone rather than settle for less, are the ones who find it. People who accept less, who figure they don’t deserve any better, who figure that it’s too much of a risk to tell the truth and scare men off, are the ones who live with a constant feeling of disappointment and neglect. When you neglect yourself and your feelings, you get neglected by others, too.

Stand up for yourself. Stand up for what you want. Does that make you That Girl?

Then BE. THAT. GIRL.

Because That Girl is a shining beacon to the rest of us. That Girl doesn’t play along and call herself whatever some dude is calling her, whether it’s “pal” or “that chick I’m sleeping with” or “her, over there.” That Girl doesn’t sit through drifty, disconnected conversations with men who can’t show up. That Girl doesn’t care if you think she’s attractive or appropriate or easy to be around or not. She’s not caught up in some dude’s love affair—with himself, with his stuff, with his fantasy of how easy and sexy and mysterious True Love will be when he finally finds it, just like a porn flick starring him with a soundtrack by The Shins. That Girl is willing to risk his disapproval for the sake of her own happiness.

Fuck the critics. Fuck the onlookers. Fuck this cold, disapproving world, that doesn’t like That Girl or really any fucking girl at all, when it boils right down to it. BE THAT GIRL.”—Print out this week’s Ask Polly and frame it in yr home (via christinefriar)

“I think there are a few people in my life, my little brother being one of them, who no matter how we spend the day, the day is better for having spent it with him. We could go to the DMV, and he’s just an astute, hilarious dude who can provide color commentary for the most mundane activity, and make that day feel special and important. That kind of narrative voice has always been the most compelling part of a writer.”—

I’d like to thank everyone I know for not getting married this year so I actually can enjoy my summer weekends.

People: express your feelings
People: let them out
People: it's not good to hold it all in
Me: *expresses feelings*
People: whoa calm down
People: quit exaggerating
People: get over it

Signs you spend to much time on Tumblr.

RayRay (in a serious, no pun intended tone): Look at the Eiffel Tower twerkiling in the background.
