The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One

by Amanda Lovelace

women learn to sense what who danger looks like just by catching another woman’s eye from across a crowded room. - survival.

women pass down how-to guides on the ways to tell if our drinks are spiked & offer to guard the flimsy doors of bathroom stalls for each other. - survival II.

to describe myself as fat is not to describe myself as ugly, lazy, worthless, or undesirable. - it’s my self-acceptance movement.

“i don’t wear makeup for others the same way i don’t decorate my house for others. this is my home & everything i do is for me.”

no matter what they tell you, it is not your job to be polite to anyone who is not polite to you first. - get up, you are nobody’s doormat.

“boys will be boys” until the day we raise our sons to practice the exact same responsibility, accountability, & maturity we assign to our daughters before choosing their names.
