Rowan: *cool and collected, badass, level-headed* I got this under control.

“teach her to reject likeability. her job is not to make herself likeable, her job is to be her full self, a self that is honest and aware of the equal humanity of other people.”

— dear ijeawele, or a feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions by chimamanda ngozi adichie.

“Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you”

- Stephenie Meyer in New Moon

 Mi adorada Allie:No me queda nada más que decir, salvo que anoche no pude dormir porque comprendí q

Mi adorada Allie:
No me queda nada más que decir, salvo que anoche no pude dormir porque comprendí que todo había terminado entre nosotros. Es un sentimiento nuevo para mí, un sentimiento que nunca preví, pero al mirar atrás, pienso que no podría haber sido de otra manera.
Tú y yo eramos diferentes, procedíamos de mundos diferentes. Sin embargo, tú me enseñaste el valor del amor. Me enseñaste lo que significaba amar a alguien, y gracias a ello me he convertido en un hombre distinto. No quiero que nunca lo olvides.
No te guardo rencor por lo que ha pasado. Al contrario, estoy convencido de que nuestra relación fue auténtica, y me alegro de que nuestros caminos de hayan cruzado, aunque solo fuera por un tiempo tan breve. Si en un futuro lejano volvemos a encontrarnos, cada uno con una nueva vida, te sonreiré con alegría y recordaré el verano que pasamos bajo los árboles, aprendiendo el uno del otro y cultivando nuestro amor. Acaso tú sientas lo mismo, y aunque solo sea por un fugaz instante, me devuelvas la sonrisa y saborees los recuerdos que siempre compartiremos.
Te quiero, Allie.
Noah

“You see” said Howl. He swung out an arm and his black sleeve disturbed several hundred blue butterflies feasting on a bush of yellow roses. “We can cut flowers by the armload every morning and sell them in Market Chipping with the dew still on them.”

At the end of that green lane the grass became squashy. Vast orchids sprouted under bushes. Howl and Sophie came suddenly to a steaming pool crowded with water lilies.

Bottom line: there’s nothing wrong with questioning, and I personally don’t think self-discovery has an expiration date. For some, labels are grounding and give a sense of identity. Others find them too narrow or restrictive. Some might be attracted to one gender identity at one point and a different gender identity at another. A guy who has only ever been attracted to men might find himself attracted to a woman. A girl who has only ever liked boys might find herself falling for her trans female best friend.

None of this is as simple as we want it to be. And I think that should be okay. Being who you are and loving who you love may not be easy, but it’s always worthwhile.

Odd One Out - Nic Stone (Author’s Notes)

“ Si una joven tiene belle­za, nacimiento, educación, ingenio, sentido, modales, modestia y todo ello en forma extremada, pero no tiene dinero, no es na­die y es igual que si lo necesitara todo, porque el dinero es lo único que recomienda ahora a una mujer. Los hombres tienen todo el juego en su mano.”

  • Libro:Moll Flanders-Daniel Defoe

“It terrifies you. That you missed out on something. That you gave up something you didn’t know you wanted.

What was it? Was it a boy? Was it a vocation? Or was it a whole life?”

-Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere
