We teach girls shame; close your legs, cover yourself, we make them feel as though by being born female they’re already guilty of something.

Anna. 19, College Freshman, Pennsylvania, Taken. This is my personal blog.
Feminism, yoga, poetry, nature, terrariums, art, body positivity, health, fitness, personal posts, and anything that makes me happy or I find intriguing.
What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet.

If your idea of feminism doesn’t include the “sluts” who take selfies in the underwear, who work in the porn industry, and who have multiple sexual partners because you think you’re better than them then please get out of my face because you’re just as sexist as the people who think that women belong in the kitchen.

You know what I want? Not what my mom had planned for me and not what my guidance counsellor recommends, but what I want. Do you want to know what it is? I want to live. I want to wake up in warm places and feel as if my body has been kissed by the sun and I want to meet people with names I’ve never even heard before. I want to drive all night and shout the lyrics to songs I’m embarrassed to admit I own on my music library and I want to see mountains that are so big they only remind me how small I am compared to this vast and unpredictable world. I want to jump into cold water just to hear myself shriek, and I want to float wherever the waves gently take me. I want to drink the tastiest cup of coffee and have a fun snow ball fight with you, and I want to talk with you about theories of the universe and I want to fall asleep with my head on your chest. I want to build blanket forts out of cheap bed sheets and watch re-runs of sitcoms with you at 4 AM and laugh hysterically at all the jokes. I want to see places that I have only seen photographs of and honestly I just want to kiss you every single fucking day.
A lot of people have been asking me what I want to do with my future lately (H.S)

fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however ‘moose’ is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way.
Oh baby. Keep talking dirty to me.
