You were meant to read this today—
I know it hurts like hell. I know you oscillate between feeling completely numb, upset and disoriented. This wasnt how you planned it, not in the slightest. It feels like the universe is conspiring against you. But can I tell you something? It’s time to embrace the life you’ve been given—heartbreak

Banned Classics (& why they were controversial)
Okay, picture this: a book gets *banned*. Like, literally someone out there said, "Nope, this is too much. We can't handle these ideas." It's like the literary equivalent of getting grounded, but on a whole other level! 😂 I've always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to boo

...but you were so pretty when you had long hair!
I’ve been told so many times that I was "prettier" when my hair was longer. As a masc lesbian, these comments strike at the very heart of my identity and self-expression. My beauty isn’t defined by the length of my hair or how closely I fit into society’s narrow standards of femininity.
