When some adult tries to tell me that a vegan diet is unhealthy
My response is always: “I hear what you’re saying, and I would agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.”
Look at this tree, man.

Ancient being.

IRELAND
“Ireland, I am coming home. I can see your rolling fields of green and fences made of stone. I am reaching out, won’t you take my hand? I’m coming home, Ireland.” — Ireland, Garth Brooks

There comes a point where every kettle boils over and steam must be released; I’ve just reached that point. I’m disgusted that Lights had to respond to the overwhelming amount of hate and derogatory comments she’s being flooded with over things as trivial as the colour of her hair or YOUR…
^This.
Guys, she owes us nothing. The problem with the idea of celebrity is that we tend to think of them as a brand image, and we associate that image with them. I don’t understand why we refuse to allow people we admire to change parts of themselves, like we’re telling them they can’t evolve or they can’t continue to discover themselves once we ‘know’ them.
Lights is twenty-six years old. There is not a person here who was/will be done discovering who they are at twenty-six. I am twenty-six, and I can say for certain that I am not finished with those discoveries.
You would not tell a friend that they cannot/should not change things about themselves without your approval or permission. Why do you suddenly think it’s appropriate here? Remember that regardless of how much she shares with us, she is not obligated to, and she knows nothing about you. She is a stranger, and you would not walk up to a stranger on the street and badger them about things so menial as hair colour and nail colour. I want you to think about how you would feel if someone did that to you: you would feel harassed and insulted.
Please remember and respect that she is her own person and her first and foremost duty in life is the please herself—not you—and make herself happy.
Seriously, though….
I have a deal with a friend that if anything unfortunate happens to either of us, the other will clear the browser history and delete the texts on their phone.
I feel like heading into battle, I would have this thought.

I want to take a quick moment to address a stunning and troubling mindset I have unfortunately witnessed a lot lately…
“He’s so much better than I deserve.”
I hear this mentality, usually coming from my friends in their early twenties. Particularly about boys they’ve only just started to ‘date’. It troubles me greatly. Sometimes I wonder what they think they deserve. Sometimes I want to take them by the shoulders and shake them awake. Sometimes I want to punch the boys in the face.
Mostly I want to punch the boys.
Girls, let’s have a heart to heart:
1. You are MAJESTIC! Majestic, I tell you. Never believe less.
2. You deserve the absolute best. There is no such thing as ‘better than you deserve’, there is only ‘worse than you deserve’—and these boys do not deserve the time of day from you.
3. If there is a boy, or girl, who makes you feel like you are somehow unworthy of them: delete them from your life. Delete them from your phone, your facebook, your circle of friends, your life.
Let me be perfectly clear: I am not talking about the people who inspire you to be a ‘better person’, whatever that may mean to you, I am talking about the person who makes you question your self-worth or what you deserve. Relationships are meant to be nurturing. If they do not nurture you, help you grow, or make you feel good, it is okay to discard them.
“We can fix it.”/ “We can work it out.”
Sometimes it’s really hard to let go of these relationships. Sometimes the reason is comfort with what you know. Sometimes the reason is the fear of suddenly being alone. Sometimes the reason is the belief that you can somehow fix the situation.
This is another really dangerous mindset. I watch girls go on crazy diets, undergo night-and-day makeovers, and others completely lose themselves trying to please this guy in the hopes that he’ll think better of her, or stop belittling her, or stop comparing her to his ex. At a certain point, you do absolutely need to take a step back and understand that ‘fixing the relationship’ can sometimes really mean ‘fixing him’, which you do not have the power to do.
What you do have power over is yourself, and the way you allow yourself to be treated. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” By staying in a relationship where someone knowingly and constantly causes you to feel inferior, you are giving them consent, and you are disrespecting yourself.
You owe it to yourself to create and cultivate your own happiness. You owe it to yourself to demand respect from the people in your life. You owe it to yourself to refuse to let other people drag you down—regardless of how ‘perfect’ you perceive them to be.
XOXO, Nora
