It is a time of change. YEAH!!!!!
I took some screenshots of this video, about “leftover women” in China, women who are unmarried and over the age of 25. I took screenshots every time someone said something that created a picture with the subtitles that just…. resonated with me. Something women can truly understand.
These women deserve to be heard.
It has been more than 2 years since I first watched the movie and today when I watched it again, it still appeared to me as lovely and poignant as the previous time. If there's one film that defines me completely then this is it . Of course our lifestyles are way too different and possibly I'll never have a boyfriend and be comfortable about him in front of my parents like her. But still, things that have a deeper meaning, that are universal and cross all the boundaries make this film mine. All my life,I had wished just one thing-to get out of this little town. I always wanted to live alone even if I knew I couldn't even make myself a cup of tea. Weirdly, even if I love this place, I still want to see the world outside, only to return here once again. I guess, I always wanted to leave because I wanted to come back and look at this town of mine with new colors; maybe it was nostalgia after all. And now I am a few months away from finally going away to a place where my parents can't reach in a day. I still know nothing about cooking, washing(okay a little) and being independent. And I am excited to learn it all, not here but there. I want to go there unprepared and watch my life unfold gradually yet so spontaneously. I want to learn these things in bits and pieces,dancing through the mistakes and little achievements.
And this movie explains it all. Even when I wasn't watching the film(in these 2 years),I went back to the little clips from the film especially the one with the last part where Christine asks her mother if she ever felt emotional the first time she drove through Sacramento because she did. N I would do too. N u would do too.
The reason why this film remains so relatable is because its drama and emotions are so tangible. It is my life, your life,our lives.

Do not waste your time thinking the thoughts of others. Think your own thoughts.
Do not spend time trying to please everyone and be liked by everyone. Spend time learning how to like and please yourself.
Never forget that there is a Holy Spirit inside of you, and it will irritate the demons in some of those around you. Count this as a blessing.
Do they like you? Do they dislike you? Have you aggravated their demons? Don't spend time dwelling on these things. Spend time getting to know the Lord and improving yourself. Learning how to walk in Jesus' footsteps in an individual, unique way. The way He created you to walk. The people worth being around will recognize that fire in you. They will stay. They will stand by you.
I mean, to speak from personal experience... when I tried to be cool and walk the line everyone told me was my own? When I denied my true nature to try and morph into someone else? I was completely alone. Angry. Masking constantly. Exhausted.
But once I began to understand, and more importantly, ACCEPT myself? When I stopped trying to adjust for those around me? When I started actually reading the Word and trying to live it and spending time getting to know myself? People started coming around. I wasn't so lonely anymore.
God carefully selected each and every trait you have. He is a perfect, good Father and He made you just as you should be. Embrace it.
Hunters of Artemis
Artemis,
Goddess of the Moon,
Cast your arrow,
Guide me with it’s brilliant light.
Show me the pathway,
To become stronger.
To become one of your apex hunters,
And not the prey in this game we call life.
Teach me the way of the wild,
Tell me how to use flint and steel to spark fire.
Point out the berries,
Those ones with the kiss of death,
And point out the ones that will return the steadiness of my breath.
Open my eyes,
Let me see how I can be truly self-sufficient,
How I can rely on nobody but myself and my surrounding environment.
Please,
Goddess,
Allow me to pledge my loyalty to you,
As a woman casted into exile,
I didn't have anybody's help.
So allow me the chance to prove myself,
And join the Hunters of Artemis.

Don’t look for me.
For I am buried under the sand that you deposited in the bottomless sea,
I suffocate everyday but I can’t scream whilst you’re not listening,
I’m trapped in the time that you created and when I think I can breathe, the air is forced out of me.
I could reach out my withering hand and have you pull me from the dark,
But I’d rather claw my way through the hot pit to which I have been cursed,
I’ll choke, blinded as I fight my way upward, forcing your prison away,
Instead of accepting your hand, as you planned me to do, tying me to your eternal winter,
When I could be greeted by Spring if I only rely on me.
So, don’t look for me.
For I’ll be gone by the time your boredom forces you to wonder,
All that will be left is a whisper by the shore,
But when you realise the mistakes you made, saturated with your unquenchable hate
I’ll be floating with the clouds on the warm Spring air,
And I’ll be so big and so far away that I’m untouchable,
And when you look at me from the sand below, all you might receive from me is a brief hello.
So please, don’t look for me.
I’ll make it on my own.
WOO-HOO!
Went to a doctors appointment. And get this, I did it myself! I went in, gave them my name, my information, navigated the appointment (although they were VERY accommodating and lead me through every step of the way) and made the follow-up appointment by myself. No one even batted an eye when I used AAC, they were patient, accepted my head nods and hums, accepted my long typing, and were patient with me. One of the people was surprised I was alone though which was pretty funny to me.
It’s the first time I’ve done an appointment alone, and it will probably be one of the rare times I do because of how impractical and almost impossible it is for me, but I did it. And I’m super proud of myself. This was a special circumstance where I could do it myself and I’m lucky and proud of that.
Slowly learning to be more independent and do things on my own is a slow process, but it’s a process I’m proud of.

I remember that I was listening to the soundtrack for the movie Across the Universe, when I had the idea to write a depressing story based on a song about a warm gun. I don’t recall writing this truly depressing short story where the main character is suicidal, depressed, and unable to get off the couch. Reader be warned, this is horribly depressing. The couch had eaten her, or so she texted, to…

I respect Jane Eyre but I could never be her. Maybe that’s what I am afraid of. I would hate to build an entire life of self sufficiency and then give all of that opportunity over an unfair romance. I am so scared of being treated unfairly. That would not happen if I never exposed my vulnerability. Men don’t get it and they are so predictable. They don’t understand what it’s like living in their heads 95% of the time. They don’t think everything through like I do, and when I explain myself they don’t understand and it makes me feel crazy. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me. But, if I say something then I am seen as sensitive, so I never say anything because that is weakness. Even if the most well meaning man were to read anything I write, they would never understand it. They have never predicted the outcome like a girl or picked apart every angle of a situation in under ten minutes and come up with a resolution that would have taken a man weeks. Sometimes it’s hard living in my head, but what do I do about it. I don’t know how to communicate how I feel, I avoid things (people), I will cause, work through, and solve a billion problems in my head. No one gets it. Maybe some, but I feel really weird and solitary abut this kind of thing. I would never tell anyone this. “I have a lot on my mind” is the understatement of a lifetime. If anyone could ever actually be with me, they need to understand me and what I mean when I tell them things. It is hard to explain everything that goes on in my head, so they just need to be ok with what I am able to give them. That sounds impossible.
My lilith in Pisces in 6th feels exactly like this omg, I’m shocked
Lilith in Virgo/6th House despises authority and routine. She wants to be her own boss and have full control over her responsibilities. She sacrifces herself in her job and may have problems with co-workers who don’t take their job as seriously as she does. She needs a lot of variety in her job because routine is killing her. She hates being stuck in the same place for too long. She needs a lot independence as a worker. She wants to be free in her job and do what she likes and how she likes it. She’s a perfectionist in whatever she does. She will sacrifice her own health if it means getting the job done. In childhood this Lilith could have been rejected by authority (for example her teachers). She could have been constantly ignored and develop feelings of inadequacy. Now she is trying to fight this by aiming for perfection to finally be acknowledged. She is restless and in her mind she never does things good enough.
