something about lenu and lila from the neapolitan novels and the girl, so confusing remix with lorde and the friend group from the new season of the white lotus and frances and bobbi from conversations with friends and the narrator and reva from my year of rest and relaxation and nel and sula from sula and so forth

i am bad at being a woman.Â
i thought i figured it out when i learned to do the makeup, to get my cheeks to blush just the right amount and my curls to bounce the right way and when i wore the pretty dresses with frills. but i am not at peace with being a woman in the ways that matter most. i have never felt the sisterhood. i have never been any girls’ girl. my friendships with women feel shallow and momentarily lasting before i transform into the next iteration of myself, shedding with it girls’ whose beds ive shared at sleepovers. i will never know what transpires in a girls night out and my wedding will have no bridesmaids. i’ll never know what it’s like to help my girls curl the backs of their hair and zip up the backs of dresses that they can’t quite reach.Â
i will always be deeply, ravenously envious of meaningful female friendships, yet i am torn between my desire for community and my tendency to isolate. i love women, but it feels as if there is always some invisible wall in front of me barricading the entryway from acquaintances to friends. they will never fully know me and the version of them that i know will never feel like it’s enough. a struggle to be understood, matched with a desire for deeper, more profound connection with the women in my life.

đź“°"the internet, or Sofia Coppola films, or Lana songs, or the multitude of fallen girl, women, tropes can cause a dissociative kind of excitement in living through your own degradation (????)"

i’m reading dykes to watch out for for the first time and i got a little emotional over how lesbians really have been the same for decades, in a sweet way and also in an obxious way - useless infighting with academic jargon really has us beat

🎥while i do enjoy watching a movie with a friend i realized that i had all my best experiences in the movie theater while going alone. when i’m by myself i have all the time in the world to think about the movie after it’s finished and let it really sit with me.

i’m currently getting a masters degree and the amount of people that use chat gpt instead of actually searching for answers in the literature is staggering. mama let’s research it’s literally what you’re supposed to do in academia

Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!

👗Don’t leave your nice clothes and shoes or expensive make up gathering dust in your wardrobe because they’re “too nice” to wear on regular, everyday occasions. Life is mostly made of regular occasions, wear that nice dress and expensive perfume to go to the movie theater on a sunday afternoon
