“Women will have abortions whether you like it or not. They will have abortions...”

– Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille) I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way...

Outline for keeping my mental balance when I go...
- go for walks/runs if it’s not too cold. LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM. - ask my gran to teach me how to knit/crotchet and spend lots of time with her as possible - reconnect with old school friends. They may be infuriating, but less so than my parents. - do yoga and meditate. Punch a pillow. - keep calm and behave like the adult that I am (yeah, like that’s going to happen).

The good: - I didn’t forget any of the choreography - my apple jacks are pretty good - I did a fast lock turn and stopped and BAM and it was musical. The bad: - wtf are my arms doing they aren’t following through with the movement and aaaargh. Basically when I think I’m doing a really big movement I’m probably not. Also my arms seem too long for my body. - I did a...
