Girl Gospel

There's a tag on my tumblr called "girl gospel" and it's a tag I love so much that I want to talk about it here. It's no secret that I consider myself a feminist (and really if you don't we can't be friends) and I am quick to defend women as a whole and put people in their place when misogyny starts spilling out of their mouth.

I'm one of those people who doesn't have the patience for ignorance and stupidity when it comes to this. We live in a time when it's just not acceptable to be misogynistic. There's no excuse for it. We have so much information at our fingertips all the time, there is no reason for the ignorance. Unless of course you're a misogynistic asshole, in which case, well, you're an asshole.

So I want to talk about how women don't owe men anything. And when I say women, let's get something straight. I mean all women. I mean women of every race and I mean anyone who identifies as a woman. If you get up in the morning and think "I am a woman" regardless of what you've got downstairs, congratulations, you are a woman.

And as a woman you live in a patriarchal society and it's bullshit.

So I'm going to leave you with some girl gospel to remind you that there's nothing wrong with you, you don't owe the world anything, you don't have to be who others want you to be, and you don't have to take anyone's shit.

all the little things

All the little things that make me happy...

• quiet mornings with hot coffee and a cat to cuddle with
• long hot showers
• reading a good book with nothing but the sound of birds in the background
• tea that is instantly relaxing
• sitting in the sun
• eating fresh fruit for breakfast
• getting rid of things that I no longer need
• a clean bedroom to relax in
• good conversation with good people
• writing to soft music in an empty house
• hula hooping while watching a good tv show
• the smell of incense while falling asleep
• watching the horses in the back field
• singing along to music while cleaning the house

My life is composed of trying to get things together while managing my anxiety by making sure I take time to indulge in small moments of happiness. I don't want anything grand or extravagant out of my life, just contentment and easy breathing.
