"There were only the remains of what she left behind in her country.(...) The son she couldn't bring along,the son whom she wasn't sure would forgive her for it. She would have loved to explain her reasons for leaving him. Why she took his sister Sumeya with her but not him. To recall what were they doing to girls in their country, Gine. She remembered vividly the time they took her away from home, and hold her legs down.The splitting pain that forced her to faint, the known agony coming back everytime her husband laid with her and like a repeating torture with every birth she carried to term. The ugly act that were passed down from generation to generation.That offense to womanhood...
She couldn't let them do that to her daughter.Albeit she knew it was inescapable. She once heard 96% women in Gine was "cut". Although she never want to school, she knew that this meant. It meant her mother, her sisters, her neighbours, her cousins, her friends... It also meant Sumeya.(...)One friend of hers told her the way out. "You can only take one child with you. You cannot cross it with two. " So she made her pick. It was the most devastating choice she had to endure but she had made it to The Palace in a exhausting year. Sumeya was saved. "

I do not think I have a pen that is worth finishing for but I'll try
I will try for all the other times I hadn't had the courage to
I will pour all of my rain flow into this soup that's not quite made of mind but neither of heart too
I will try to save this little kid even though I'm not sure if they ever drowned or not in the overflowing pond I left them
I hate hate hate that being a virgin these days are embarrassing not because it's your practice,not because you're an "oldhead" but because everybody thinks it's just proof for your unattractiveness and so many people *can't* tell their partners they're inexperienced and it leads to unsafe sex or awkward moments where the truth will be revealed anyways
THE PUPPY DISASTER GOT WHAT HE WANTED
we need to talk about the fact that for many of the posters in season one, they are literally on opposite sides and/or have a dividing line between them
and now they're literally crossed over in some way for the season 2 posters
THEY'RE LITERALLY ON THEIR OWN SIDE NOW, PEOPLE!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

it feels burning red to like men.no,not in the sense that as a woman I have to eventually fulfill some twisted sexism trope(that's a still a fear). no I mean as in I feel like I betray my fellow community.yes ofc I know this man wasn't the one that hurted my best friend a year ago, yes I know this isn't the male celebrity I liked for my while life who gets accused with sexual assault but my subconscious doesn't act like it knows, it's just recognizes the thread pattern.
lets look at the recent example I read Red white and royal blue I watched the movie a day after and I've been consuming media about it for a week now.at first it was all well.yk quotes from the books, movie scenes, some song referances but as the time went on the parasocial relationship effect kicked in and people started posting personal things from the actors like old Instagram ss,singing videos,interviews that got nothing to do with red white and royal blue.that's where my discomfort started,where I questioned how people could trust a man that easily -especially after what we've seen for years with many, many public bknz.johny depp-figures saying things like my pokie boo or started getting aggressive to people who didn't like them. idk I just know when I'm gonna like a photo of the actor taylor zakhar pèrez smiling or nicholas galitzine doing a good recipe video my fingers quiver and i ask myself if am I doing something wrong(patriarchy irrecevablely broke me and I'm never gonna recover me thinks)
