“don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.” - C.S. Lewis

You are a magnificent individual.

On the point about physical beauty - I've always pictured it like a spectator - a shadow, of sorts - that you, a woman, simply cannot escape. Every move you make, everything you do, accomplish, it cannot be seen without the spectator seeing it too.

I play chess myself, soon to become a scientist - some of the fields you've mentioned - and I was starting to question if I was the mildly maniacal killjoy being too pedantic about why a man - and his qualities - are allowed to be human, the 'natural' state - while a woman, no matter how accomplished, intelligent, proficient she may be - must always be accompanied by beauty. As if everything else she does comes secondary to the inherent requirement of being physically appealing.

Thank you - thank you so much. For your kind words and lovely wishes.

For the first time, I don't just feel seen - I feel heard. And thoroughly understood. Have a splendid time. You are amazing.

Your post on 'stop focusing on physical appearances of women' may just have saved something from withering away within me. I thank you, earnestly.

I'm so glad it got received by at least one person. I know it could - and has been - misinterpreted as a "ruining the fun" comment, but I did notice growing up that what made me insecure the most, were the small focuses we put on artists and famous women: was she a singer, chess player, actress, writer, tennis player, we always cared about her eyeliner and bow shoes or perfect hair.

And I wish for women not to internalize this: it teaches us that we can't really escape physical beauty - not through arts, or sports, or our minds. I am still so jealous of male tennis player, for example, who can, seemingly, just exist in their natural and neutral state.

I hope you have a fantastic day! And I also hope you can develop your talents or passions without the pressure of "being beautiful" all the time c:

“all are equal in the grave” - Richard Kadrey

every night owl I know (myself included) is as careful as possible and as quiet as a mouse so not to wake up or disturb people who are asleep while they’re awake but from the moment a morning person wakes up they will make as much noise as possible as if their god given purpose is the be the loudest most inconsiderate person alive

I am seriously BEGGING parents to prioritize bringing up competent people. The horizon, judging on my students, looks depressing. Please stop idolizing childhood and help your children GROW UP. Life will happen to them whether they know how to deal with it or not. It is so so so so much better if they do.

Writing fiction becomes more fun once you realise that you're basically lying,yeah that didn't actually happen,I came up with that,I am bullshiting you hahahahahah
