Motivation is overrated. No amount of motivation would’ve gotten me through hours of my accounting textbook. No “vision” is enough to keep me awake til the crack of dawn on an essay that I don’t even know if the professor will check. Discipline is what determines how far you go. On those days when your cute little list of #goals and vision of yourself 5 years from now aren’t enough, discipline will pull you out of bed and get you to work. I wish I knew this in high school because I thought I couldn’t work without motivation. I wasted so much time trying to find purpose before I realized that working now, albeit blindly, will ensure that I could chase any purpose I discover in the future. Sure, motivation is crucial, but it’s not consistent. It’s not reliable. You can only rely on yourself and your grit.

Sylvia Plath was right
About what?
“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording —all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.”
I know women who were teenagers during WW2 who talked about the immense freedom they had as teen girls. They could sleep on the beach at night. They’d walk home alone after a party. From the way they talk about it, you’d think there wasn’t a war going on or that some of those nights were interrupted by air raid sirens.
How was this possible? Easy - just conscript every able-bodied man between the ages of 15 and 60 and put them in military compounds that they aren’t allowed to leave. Remember this the next time a woman muses about having curfews for men so women can walk alone and night, and everyone scoffs at how that wouldn’t solve anything, somehow.

My hobbies include:
Saving unnecessary shit on my phone because I think I’ll forget but absolutely never looking at it again.

not you
Yo that’s a good ass point!!!
Dead assss
Women can lie about rape. Tf. People have being going to jail for it recently so don’t act like no one lies about it.
people can also lie about being mugged, robbed, shit even getting murdered ppl can make a lie about. any crime u can think of ppl can lie about it but why is it that rape is the only one to get that reputation?
Some people believe that some women lie about rape because *shocker* they do! There have been so many false rape allegations in the past so don’t try to play this off. If there’s evidence punish them but if there’s no backing then all you have is a story with no evidence. Also, crimes of EVERYTHING get reported the reason rape is famous for being false is because it’s pretty common to get false reports and it affects people’s lives the most or is at least up there with some other accusations.
“pretty common” it’s not like im pretty sure insurance fraud is more commonplace but u don’t see me saying anyone filing to sue for insurance purposes is automatically lying but go off
False rape claims aren’t “pretty common” and they rarely lead to jail time
You are really lying right now.
