Kung kagagaling lang sa hiwalayan, huwag mong sabihing masaya ka kung hindi naman talaga. Maloko mo man ang mga tao sa paligid mo pero ang sarili mo hindi. Hindi ka man gaanong nasaktan, mangugulila at mangungulila ka pa rin sa kanya.
My dearest Allie,
I couldn’t sleep last night because I know it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore because I know what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives I will smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more and that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that’s what you’ve given me and that’s what I’d hope to give to you forever. I love you; I’ll be seeing you.
Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you’re alone, if you’re with a stranger, if you’re in a group, if you’re in a group of strangers, if it’s dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you’re carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you’re wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who’s around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who’s at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn’t follow all the rules it’s your fault.
This is a good read. (via nikkiwiley)
