(will post about the rest of my trip soonish)

Girls who say “I’m not like other girls” are literally the female counterpart to “nice guys”.

“Oh I don’t fit in with the traditional view of femininity/masculinity therefore I am better than those that do – but that makes me more appealing to the opposite sex yeah??”

IDK I don’t want to be one of those blogs that just reposts stuff I saw on Reddit but this Reddit post is just reposting something from Tumblr so…

Also sorry kids there’s some swearing in this but if you are OK with that – the comments on this are something I wish I understood as a teen girl.

I think I’ve talked about this in a super old post on my blog (concerning putting down girls for liking makeup). I really need to read over those and edit them (because they were all…

Share Your Music! 30 Days 30 Songs!

If you’d like to join me, you can do this on any day you want, or also every day.
