  We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.

  You’re not leaving because you think the love of your life isn’t in New York. You’re leaving because you think she is. This time next week she’ll be married to your best friend.

  ‎’Slut’ is attacking women for their right to say yes. ‘Friend Zone’ is attacking women for their right to say no.

  And “bitch” is attacking women for their right to call you on it. (via dezi-desire)

  So you plant your own garden and
  decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
  for someone to bring you flowers.
