Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

Atticus Finch (via mirandaat30)
Goddamn I love this book so much. Atticus is the best parent in the world.
Kittens are nature’s Lexapro. Except when you need to go to sleep; then they become nature’s Foley artists. They can ring the weirdest fucking noises out of whatever’s on your bedroom floor. You may think you know what’s down there, but then one night, you’ll be lying in your bed asleep and you’ll hear what sounds like a leprechaun trying to refinish an antique hutch. And you’re like: wait - how did the kitten get the belt sander into the bedroom? So you flip on the lights, and you look over, and there’s just a kitten sitting in the middle of the floor on top of a single post-it note.

(Here’s to laughing uncontrollably in libraries and trying to keep it subdued and quiet while you’re supposed to be writing an essay.)
Sometimes I really don’t understand why all the mascaras I’ve tried fail so hard at standing up to L’Oreal’s Voluminous.
Sometimes I feel silly for continuing to buy it over and over again without trying any of the new mascaras that are constantly popping up on the market. I had a phase when I was younger where I wasted a lot of money trying out new mascaras, mostly to be disappointed, and because of this the thought still lingers in my mind that maybe there’s something better out there, and I’m missing it by continuing to stick with the same thing over and over.
Then my boyfriend will give me the tube of mascara he bought to colour in his blonde goatee for a Halloween costume (Derek Vinyard from American History X, btw - I was the ugly neo-Nazi girlfriend), and one morning I’ll see it in my drawer and think, what the hell, why not.
Well. I’m sorry, Annabelle, the tube is pretty (but I’m a sucker for velvety textures and the colour red) but you’re just not performing at the level I need from you. You’re not as bad as some other shit I’ve tried, but you’re nothing particularly special (and God help you if you end up under my eyes in three hours, I don’t need help in looking more tired than I already do when I’m holed up in the library working on an essay).
Why is it so fucking hard to make a good mascara? I can’t even imagine the amount of money I’ve wasted on tubes and tubes of different brands, only to use them twice before leaving them to hang around in my make-up bag until they pass their 3 month expiry date so I don’t feel so bad about throwing them away. So many are just so fucking shitty!
I’ve dabbled in a few Sephora brands of mascara, but the thought of wasting 3 times the amount to find a mascara that may, in the end, only be slightly better than Voluminous is just not appealing.
I just don’t get why nothing else is even comparable. That fact irritates me for a reason I can’t explain.

List of Grievances
- When people over share information regarding their personal lives.
- The question, “is it cold enough for you?”
- People who use big words to make themselves feel more important.
- Panty lines.
- “You look tired.”
- People who push/shove by you without a simple “excuse me.” Use your words.
- Seeing other people clip their toe nails.
- Drivers who merge without a courtesy wave.
- NBA players that don’t make free throw (foul shots) shots, that’s part of your job.
- People who are older than, oh let’s say, 11 that love Christmas just to get gifts, grow up.
- When you pay someone a compliment or notice something about them, like a hair cut and they have a smart ass reply. Sorry for being polite?
- Children without shoes in places they should have shoes, restaurants, office buildings, streets? Come on.
- People who brag about not reading, congratulations you’re proud to be uneducated.
- Tampon rappers left in plan sight in unconcealed trash cans. Have some common decency.
- Automated customer service. I’m clearly having an issue; I’d like to speak with someone. Throw me a bone.
I’m sure they’ll be more to come…
Agreed.
I don’t understand the squeamishness of the general (usually male) population when it comes to periods. Are you kidding me? Women bleed for a few days once a month - this is not a new concept, get over it. Why are we supposed to hide this fact? Hiding it is pretty much suggesting that we’re supposed to be ashamed of it, which is ridiculous as it’s not exactly something we can help. It’s absurd how asking another woman to borrow a pad or tampon has to be done in a hushed tone, using code words like “feminine hygiene products” because God forbid a guy overhear us and vomit at the very idea of a woman bleeding from her vagina. Oh my GOD that thing’s a monster. It’s almost as if this is some novel concept on the level of women farting. IT HAPPENS GUYS LET’S ALL MOVE ALONG WITH OUR LIVES NOW.
I realize not all men are like this, and I applaud all men that can actually handle the topic of periods without being reduced to the level of 6 year old boys watching adults kissing, and who can handle blood on their sheets without freaking out.
Likewise, I don’t see why a women should have to hide her period trash. Why are tampon wrappers “indecent”? I mean, I can see how one could consider used condoms in a garbage “indecent” or a USED tampon, but the wrappers? Is the suggestion of a woman on her period really too much for some people? Come on.
I do love my Metric.

I’m gonna use one of those bullshit words like “effortless” and say that she is exactly that, one of those women with striking features who could look gorgeous no matter what she’s doing or what she’s wearing.

There is nothing about her that I don’t like.
