As different as we all are, there’s one thing most young women have in common: we’re all brought up to feel like there’s something wrong with us. We’re too fat. We’re dumb. We’re too smart. We’re not ladylike enough—stop cursing, chewing with your mouth open, speaking your mind. We’re too slutty. We’re not slutty enough. Fuck that. You’re not too fat. You’re not too loud. You’re not too smart. You’re not unladylike. There is nothing wrong with you.

About me
I am Mandy. I'm an optimistic pessimist, college student, photographer, book lover, only child, and lifetime member of the Girl Scouts (17 years so far). I post things that inspire me,RDJ pictures, comic scans, fav movie GIFs & quotes. Feel free to share your favorite quotes or to just ask me anything: http://www.formspring.me/MissMandy07"I always carry lots of stuff with me wherever I roam, always weighted down with books, with cassettes, with pens and paper, just in case I get the urge to sit down somewhere, and oh, I don't know, read something or write my masterpiece. I want all my important possessions, my worldly goods, with me at all times. I want to hold what little sense of home I have left with me always. I feel so heavy all the time, so burdened. This must be a little bit like what it's like to be a bag lady, to drag your feet here, there, and everywhere, nowhere at all." -Elizabeth Wurtzel
