Sounds bizarre, but as an anxious, ambitious, type A girlie, there’s nothing that I want more than to be able to shut my brain off and have someone ‘provide’ for me (not financially, but like, metaphorically). Able to fix my computer problem? Hot. Can build me a shelf? Hot. Just generally knows how to navigate the world? Very hot. Competence is underrated.

Sure I’m hot but it doesn’t define me and physicality is ephemeral and fleeting. so much of what we admire in a person and find attractive is actually rooted in confidence, which has a whole host of other enriching benefits to your life beyond your appearance ❤️

Rewatched this on Valentine’s Day when I was feeling down and it made me giggle for the first time in weeks. this movie is inexplicably human and to an extent everything we are told we are not supposed to do — waste away a day and fall in love with a stranger. In the end, the movie is about giving in — to ourselves, to our deepest desires no matter how impractical.

I think I care very deeply. My care for other people consumes me and motivates my every day life. It’s the reason I’m pursuing the career I am, despite the economics of it all. I think it’s why I sometimes struggle in modern day dating. I don’t have a casual bone in my body — I care way too much, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. We have been socialized to not care about others more than we care about ourselves, and I fear that will be our downfall.
