pinkrangerwasa asked: I'm sorry, I fail to see the embarrassing part of your story. I think there's Lizzy is an exceptionally wonderful role model to girls. Especially to teenage girls. She's stubborn, yes, but she stands by her convictions and she's not afraid to be different. I love her and I love that book.
Oh, I guess I forgot to mention the part where I actually thought Lizzy was real.
Yeah.
HAVE ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY READ PRIDE AND PREJUDICE?
I’m sorry about the yelling. I just love that book more than life itself. It’s beautifully written, it’s got a PERFECT film adaptation (the Keira Knightley one, not the weird ass BBC version), and it never ceases to remind me about being firm in what you believe in. Even if your role in this world is NOT what others expected of you, learn to fight it and be proud of who you are.
Perfect example is the verbal exchange between Lizzy Bennet and Lady Catherine de Bourgh. You can read more here (thought it’s pretty lengthy):
This is my favorite part of my favorite book. I have always felt such admiration for Elizabeth Bennet and her incredible courage.
Thanks for sharing CC :) youuuu is amazing.
Can you relate? You sit in your towel after a shower because you’re too lazy to get dressed. You and your best friend can say one word, and crack up. You hate when one string of your hoodie is longer than the other. You hate it when people think you like someone when you clearly don’t. You hate it when your favorite song comes on, as you pull into the driveway. You feel like if you turn on the lights, you will be safe from anything. You push those little buttons on the lids of fast-food drinks. You laugh until people get hurt, then stop when you realize it’s serious. You hate it when parents get serious about something funny you tell them. You hate when you tell a guy to shut up and they copy you in a higher voice. You pretend to sleep when your parents come in. You text the person next to you things that you can’t say out loud. You hate when people in front of you walk really slow and you can’t get past them. You’re always tired no matter how much sleep you get. You stop the microwave before it hits 00:00 to avoid hearing the beeps. You use the “sup” head nod. You just did the nod after you read it. You hate when you are mad at someone and they make you laugh. You check the fridge every ten seconds to see if food magically appeared.

Relationships are harder now because conversations became texting, arguments became phone calls, feelings became subliminal messages online, sex became easy, the word “love” gets used out of context, insecurities have become your way of thinking, getting jealous became a habit, trust has been lost, cheating became an accident, leaving became the only option and being hurt became natural.
