And while I’m not ceasing to function, I’m already missing you terribly without knowing why. (Not that I’m flustered by that uncertainty.) I guess it’s just my usual way of emotional commitment to a single person at a time. But whatever it is, I’ve made room in my heart for you and I think it’s kind of cosy. Do visit once in a while, I hope?</p> <p>I really hate how it’s always so hard to keep friendships with the opposite gender going when one of two friends are attached. Probably because the person we’re attached to should be the ultimate best friend.</p> <p>But whatever it is, I’ve grown so fond of you as the <em>kok</em> person I’m so comfortable with. In your words, “sisters”, though I prefer not to use that ‘cause that makes me want to hit you all the time.</p> <p>So… Please come back the same.</p> <p>Missing you already,<br/>R.</p>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/22245804653http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/22245804653Wed, 02 May 2012 03:19:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lns2ojlj8H1qdrca7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>a cuppa on your hand.</p>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/21753345973http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/21753345973Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:09:30 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp4z5kFdIb1qayfmho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18629153129http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18629153129Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:43:55 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpdycRNDq1qfb46yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18628002844http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18628002844Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:24:35 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwnosvrd9O1qgogdco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627930046http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627930046Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:23:21 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly7r7y7DFW1qhzv6oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627910050http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627910050Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:23:01 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyirqbbaM31qft1hto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627869028http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627869028Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:22:20 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzryrrvuQH1r6mln2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627863865http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627863865Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:22:15 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxu2llDFEg1qal7ado1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627847348http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627847348Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:21:58 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhtcroZbTK1qdbbywo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627775897http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627775897Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:20:45 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh183ffIae1qd9lrdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627755882http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627755882Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:20:25 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyrypuhCmm1qhzv6oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627752417http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627752417Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:20:22 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzwrneVLq71qirte4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627720155http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627720155Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:19:49 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m04vd2w4Zy1qmkjcdo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627627358http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627627358Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:18:16 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5rxvymGt1r4mq38o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627589198http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627589198Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:17:37 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzjxxiknMD1qmbt9lo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627537864http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627537864Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:16:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00gm7eawA1qieq9mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627504412http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18627504412Fri, 02 Mar 2012 18:16:11 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyd52hHp3R1qewacoo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyd52hHp3R1qewacoo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Meow.</p>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18512982507http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/18512982507Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:12:27 -0500“<p>Present-day American society—whether through pop culture, religion, or institutions—conflates sexuality and morality constantly. Idolizing virginity as a stand-in for women’s morality means that nothing else matters—not what we accomplish, not what he we think, not what we care about and work for. Just if/how we have sex and whom we have it with. That’s all. </p> <p>Just look at the women we venerate for not having sex: pageant queens who run on abstinence platforms, pop singers who share their virginal status, and religious women who “save themselves” for marriage. It’s an interesting state of affairs when women have to simply do, well, nothing in order to be considered ethical role models … Staying “pure” and “innocent” is touted as the greatest thing we can do. However, equating this inaction with morality is problematic because it continues to tie women’s ethics to our bodies, but also is downright insulting because it suggests that women can’t be moral actors. Instead, we’re defined by what we don’t do—our ethics are the ethics of passivity.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Jessica Valenti, <em>The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women</em> (via <a href="http://uprightcitizens.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">uprightcitizens</a>) <p>Great piece.</p></em>http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/3580193380http://thetruthe.tumblr.com/post/3580193380Tue, 01 Mar 2011 08:41:19 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhdh7t5ZID1qb8t5xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tumbler on my tumblr !!!! *breaks out into hysterical laughing</p> <p>Sorry.
