Scarlett Curtis
“Remember that when a women gets the job you wanted or dates that bloke you fancied or wears a dress you loved but couldn't afford, she hasn't taken anything from you. There is time and space for you to do it too. One of the cleverest things the patriarchy did was make us believe that there is only one tiny sliver of success cake available; that we all have to fight over it; that a woman who tramples on her competitors to chow it down first is somehow 'ruthless' or to borrow a phrase from Apprentice-ese, 'a natural business mind.' This is a scare-mongering lie. There are so many cakes to eat. And if you can't find the slice you want, try baking one. Cake for everyone! Let them eat cake! I've got lost in the metaphor.”
Scarlett Curtis, Feminists Don't Wear Pink (And Other Lies): Amazing Women on What the F-Word Means to Them

me when no
one else could.

words a home,
kept them safe.

cheered, cried, listened.
changed my life
for the better.

it wasn't enough.
but they heard
every last word.”

“This is what I know about loss:

- It doesn't get better. You just (somewhat) get used to it.
- You never stop missing the people who go away.
- For something that isn't there anymore, it weighs a ton.”
Jennifer Niven, Holding Up the Universe
