Love How Tumblr Has Its Own Folk Stories. Yeah The God Of Arepo We’ve All Heard The Story And We All

I have heard many men say that they want an "intelligent woman" in their life. I would encourage them to think well.

Girls and intelligent women make their own decisions, have their own desires and set boundaries. You will never be the center of her life because she revolves around them. An intelligent woman will not allow you to manipulate or blackmail her. She is responsible for her actions.

Intelligent girls doubt, analyze, debate, displease, progress. These women had a life before you appeared in their lives, and will continue to have it even when you leave their lives. Such women report, do not ask permission. They are not looking for a leader to follow, a father who solved their life, or a child to save themselves by guiding them. They do not want to follow you, nor are they willing to show the right way to others.

Intelligent girls know that living without violence is a right, not a luxury or a privilege. They express nervousness, sadness, pleasure and fear in the same way, because they know that fear does not make them look weak, nor does nervousness make them look "masculine". These two emotions, but also the others, all together, make it look humane and that's enough.

An intelligent woman is free because she has fought for her freedom. But she is not a victim, she is a survivor. Do not try to limit her, because she will know how to escape. An intelligent woman knows that her value does not lie in the physical aspect. Think twice before judging her age, height, weight or sexual behavior because this is emotional violence and she understands it.

So before you say you want an "intelligent woman" in your life, ask yourself if you are really ready to be a part of her life.

— Gabriel Garcia Marquez

There’s just something about love, and time differences, talks in person, and long distance, that aches so much like this: like when Billie Eilish said “midnight for me is 3:00 a.m. for you” or when Shawn Mendes said “I’m three hours back seems like your always six ahead” or “All it’d take is one flight and we’d be in the same time zone” or Taylor Swift said “Words, how little they mean when you’re a little too late - We wake in lonely beds, in different cities” or Lizzy McAlpine said “Someday we could be in the same city.” or Lorde said “It drives you crazy getting old. - I want 'em back, the minds we had - You’re the only friend I need, sharing beds like little kids, laugh until our ribs get tired, but that will never be enough.” Head and the Heart said “A year from now, we'll all be gone. All our friends will move away. - Been talkin' 'bout the way things change, And my family lives in a different state.” or Avery Lynch said “I wish I could remember what it feels like, to touch your skin. And what your voice sounds like in person, I know FaceTime can distort it, and I miss it. I wish I'd fall asleep with you. - I know I'm more than lucky just to have you. If you're here or not. But it's hard to comprehend the amount that I would give, To have you in my arms, just in my arms. And I'm sick of kissing you in my head. Tell me, when can it be real instead? 'Cause I would do anything to be close to you again… And it's hard being here half empty. When somewhere different is my favorite part of me.” or FINNEAS said “I was strung out in Austin for nearly a week, Anxiety like we were kids. I've been thinkin' too much and it's ruined my nights, But it's hard when it isn't, to let yourself slide - And my heart doesn't slow down when you kill the lights - I never learned to call it quits. If I could see the future, I never would believe her. - I'll wait for years, but I won't wait alone. - Can I take you out? To a concert Six months from now?”

The thing about being neurodivergent coded in a way is funny for me because I don't actually know if I'm neurodivergent or not. I even got myself diagnosed and the results I got were ambigious. I'm always wary to call myself Autistic or with ADHD because I don't want to use a label that doesn't apply to me, and I also don't want to harm or upset people who actually have a form of neurodivergence and know it.

I should probably not call myself anything for now, and check in with the person who diagnosed me to ask about the results again.
