Took an Insanity class at the gym this morning. It burns, in the best way possible. If I’m going to be sad and heartbroken, I might as well be as sexy and fit as possible. I can’t control most things in life. My fitness however, is something I will always be able to control. Workout to look hot and feel good. :)

Perfect attitude. Although what really do you have to be sad about? From my point of view you have everything going your way. Don’t let the actions of a “little boy” change your opinion of yourself. Your beautiful, talented, educated, warm, loving, sweet and care beyond most people. These are traits to be desired. A true Gentleman knows this, a little boy doesn’t..❤️

I really wanna be that girl for someone; twirling about in lingerie while cooking dinner in the kitchen, filling the house with love letters and laughter—making it a home, being his pretty lil bedroom play toy (so good he’ll be weak in the knees), his biggest fan and best friend. I want to shower someone with so much love that any bad day can be better. Goodness, sun, the whole damn thing—I wanna pour my entirety into it.
I wish the best in finding what your heart desires..

Ellen Andrée (3) - Not so elegant
From time to time, the still quite young Ellen Andrée visited the Café de la Nouvelle-Athènes, an artistic hotspot during the 1870s. That explains why she knew regular guests of the establishment, like Manet, Degas, Renoir and others.
Manet had already painted that previous elegant portrait of her, when Degas asked her to pose for his very famous “Absinthe Drinker”. As someone put it, he depicted her as “a desolate figure, one of the lost souls who had no life outside of the cafe".
Ellen Andrée hated it. Utterly.
Edgar Degas,
Dans un café, ou l'Absinthe (In a Café, aka Absinthe), 1875-76. Oil on canvas, 92 x 68,5 cm. Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
Last weekend, I visited Otaru in Hokkaido. I managed to sprain my ankle when I fell down the stairs out of the plane the day before, so I ended up limping that whole day. The second picture is a still from my video, which explains the weird difference in quality.

award ceremony went great, and it felt kinda good to dress up for once 💁🏻
when she was 7, a boy pushed her on the playground
she fell headfirst into the dirt and came up with a mouthful of gravel and lines of blood chasing each other down her legs
when she told her teacher what happened, she laughed and said ‘boys will be boys honey don’t let it bother you
he probably just thinks you’re cute’
but the thing is,
when you tell a little girl who has rocks in her teeth and scabs on her knees that hurt and attention are the same
you teach her that boys show their affection through aggression
and she grows into a young woman who constantly mistakes the two
because no one ever taught her the difference
‘boys will be boys’
turns into
‘that’s how he shows his love’
and bruises start to feel like the imprint of lips
she goes to school with a busted mouth in high school and says she was hit with a basketball instead of his fist
the one adult she tells scolds her
‘you know he loses his temper easily
why the hell did you have to provoke him?’
so she shrinks
folds into herself, flinches every time a man raises his voice
by the time she’s 16 she’s learned her job well
be quiet, be soft, be easy
don’t give him a reason
but for all her efforts, he still finds one
‘boys will be boys’ rings in her head
‘boys will be boys
he doesn’t mean it
he can’t help it’
she’s 7 years old on the playground again
with a mouth full of rocks and blood that tastes like copper love
because boys will be boys baby don’t you know
that’s just how he shows he cares
she’s 18 now and they’re drunk
in the split second it takes for her words to enter his ears they’re ruined
like a glass heirloom being dropped between the hands of generations
she meant them to open his arms but they curl his fists and suddenly his hands are on her and her head hits the wall and all of the goddamn words in the world couldn’t save them in this moment
she touches the bruise the next day
boys will be boys
aggression, affection, violence, love
how does she separate them when she learned so early that they’re inextricably bound, tangled in a constant tug-of-war
she draws tally marks on her walls ratios of kisses to bruises
one entire side of her bedroom turns purple, one entire side of her body
boys will be boys will be boys will be boys
when she’s 20, a boy touches her hips and she jumps
he asks her who the hell taught her to be scared like that and she wants to laugh
doesn’t he know that boys will be boys?
it took her 13 years to unlearn that lesson from the playground
so I guess what I’m trying to say is
i will talk until my voice is hoarse so that my little sister understands that aggression and affection are two entirely separate things
baby they exist in difference universes
my niece can’t even speak yet but I think I’ll start with her now
don’t ever accept the excuse that boys will be boys
don’t ever let him put his hands on you like that
if you see hate blazing in his eyes don’t you ever confuse it with love
baby love won’t hurt when it comes
you won’t have to hide it under long sleeves during the summer
and
the only reason he should ever reach out his hand
is to hold yours
