    It happens all the time.
    I should be used to it.
    I shouldn’t get so angry
    when boys—and sometimes
    grown-ass men—
    talk to me however they want,
    think they can grab themselves
    or rub against me
    or make all kinds of offers.
    But I’m never used to it.
    And it always makes my hands shake.
    Always makes my throat tight.

    The world is almost peaceful
    when you stop trying
    to understand it

    what’s the point of God giving me life
    if I can’t live it as my own?
    Why does listening to his commandments
    mean I need to shut down my own voice?

    “You Don’t Have to Do Anything You Don’t Want to Do.”
  • Francisca Larasatiцитирует4 года назад
    There is freedom in coming and going

    for no other reason than because you can.

    There is freedom in choosing to sit and be still

    when everything is always telling you to move, move fast.
  • Francisca Larasatiцитирует4 года назад
    The ultimate actress because I’m always pretending,

    pretending I’m blind, pretending I’m fine;

    I should win an Oscar I do it so well.
  • Francisca Larasatiцитирует4 года назад
    Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense

    about being somebody’s friend

    is that you help them be their best self

    on any given day. That you give them a home

    when they don’t want to be in their own.
  • Francisca Larasatiцитирует4 года назад
    Just because your father’s present

    doesn’t mean he isn’t absent.
  • Francisca Larasatiцитирует4 года назад
    Sometimes it feels

    all I’m worth is under my skirt

    and not between my ears.
  • Castцитирует5 лет назад
    I am the baby fat that settled into D-cups and swinging hips
    so that the boys who called me a whale in middle school
    now ask me to send them pictures of myself in a thong.
