*waving at babies
*telling girls they look pretty
*playful flirting to get free drinks
*people holding doors for me
*other girls trusting me with their drinks or bags while they go to the bathroom
*getting compliments on my outfit platonically
*the ability to shapeshift
Historically, I have been too insecure to be a girl. That pressure of prettiness, of being delicate, of being desirable. I refused to engage. But this year something has shifted. I love cardigans, I want to talk about how I do my hair, I learned how to do make-up. Even though I'm not a model, I adore making myself feel pretty and sexy. I'm falling in love with the culture of feminism, and reclaiming mother earth as a mother. Girlhood is something so insanely precious and now, despite it being so hard, I am so unbelievably grateful I get to experience it. Want to merge my soul with every woman on the planet and scream OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!
i saw these two ladies in line, one applying lip gloss on her friend while the other held her phone up as a mirror. i took a picture, we giggled, and every time we passed each other in the bar later on, we would tell each other we loved each other.
couple that with all the bathroom compliments and general glee over seeing beautiful women, girlhood is unmatched. girlhood is genuine. and it makes me sad that boys will never experience it
living in pgh means furries come visit yearly. i knew some furries in high school but being 10 years out, i donβt know any now. i decided to visit the block party and see what all the fuss is about. saw this big bittie horse and ate some candy. no notes.
