- Being a girl is being afraid to like the color pink, because you don’t want people to think you’re a girly-girl. You're not. But as you get older you realize that pink is the color of sunsets, of love, of flowers and everything nice. It is realizing that it’s just a color, only a color.
- Being a girl is experiencing men telling you how to be. That one time you sat on the beach, with the sun in your eyes and your face scrunched up, and a passing man told you to not look so down. To look at the waves. Because of course you’d fix your face just for his wishes. It is the lingering resentment after.
- Being a girl is feeling like you’ll never fit in, during the ups and downs of school and tumultuous friendship. It is finding solace in yourself, learning to be your own best friend. It is learning that lonely and alone aren’t the same thing.

wishing on its last leaf for the revitalizing life of spring to come sooner.
i wonder if that isolated cloud feels the weight of the rain it carries

mid-afternoon thoughts
periwinkle-blue light through my shuttered windows
my heart is racing but my mind is blank with things I don't know how to express
that k-drama I just watched stirred something in me

why do girls have an "I hate pink" phase, if boys don't have an "I hate blue" phase?? that's the real question
