I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.
How many times will it take for me to learn that you cannot rely on men to fulfil your life with purpose, meaning and happiness. It’s time to revolutionise the way we portray a single woman; she is not lonely, she is rather one with herself and content with the art of loving and appreciating her own company.
No one warns little girls that being a woman is often going to be the art of holding yourself together because the wolf world around you was built to shatter you, to rip your courage out of your own arms so it can tear you apart.

“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. What are you doing here? You’re like a flower growing in the crack of a sidewalk, or a piece of art inside a dull museum. You’ll do so much. I see it. I see the good side of the world when I look at you.”
My thoughts when I see her walking by ( @late-nights-and-daydreams )
Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.
