Brilliant Petals Of Gloriosa Lily By Susan Ford Collins

Brilliant Petals of Gloriosa Lily by Susan Ford Collins

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine."

— Charlotte Eriksson

modesty is a feminist virtue. it says “i will frustrate your ability to objectify me. you don’t get to imagine me naked or what it’s like to have sex with me. i will not indulge your fantasies by taking half of my clothes off for you. if you are going to remember me by something, you will remember my face, the things i said, my personality, but not my body or how “sexy” i am — my sexuality is off-limits to you, and you have no right to it.”

i feel like we don’t talk about things like this enough

Most Christians think they care about the poor and care about helping the poor.

Do you really?

Most people picture the poor as someone who is kind, humble, and grateful for help, really similar to themselves, just down on their luck trying to feed their families.

What about the smelly poor? The poor who you offer to carry their bag and your arm becomes engulfed in bugs? The rude poor? The poor that believes in “backwards” things? Poor who have voted for someone you despise? The drug-addicted, belligerent poor? The poor who turn to crime? The poor who may yell obscenities at you as you try to help them and love them? If you do not wish to serve “those” poor, your love for the poor is conditional. And that’s something you need to pray about.

Everyday I see an opinion that I don’t agree with on this hellsite, and every single day, I manage to scroll past it and not to go into someone’s inbox on anonymous to explain to them why they are wrong, some of y'all should try that some time
