We Are Taking Back Who We Were - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
I work at a movie theater.
And personally? To be in the tickets booth, and see young girls, teenagers, adult women, coming in to see Barbie,
the most highlighter pink outfits, some of them coming in with the dolls they’re dressed as, laughing to each other, cheering for each other,
to see the men they’re coming to see it with, dressed in pink, cheering them on, taking their pictures with smiles and cheers in the lobby at the photo op
touches something so deep in me
I can’t say any nuances of the movie that haven’t already been said, but like, fuck man, love is so deep and so kind and to be able to see glimpses of it from behind my little ticket desk makes me a little less nihilistic.

this is what im saying
we are so brave we are throwing the things they said back at them
we have heard the pink is weak arguments
and we are showing them that pink is strong
we are taking back who we were
i am sitting with a little girl and she is me and i am her
except this time
she will know that it was ok
that she is allowed to be girly and maybe weak
she is allowed to see good in the world
where others see violence and fear
she is allowed to believe in magic and love and stories
