Sometimes I wonder if I subconsciously sow chaos in my personal life so I won't have time to think about what's going on outside my own sphere. Sorry, can't engage with local, national, or international politics right now because I have to spend all my energy cleaning up romantic messes. Maybe it's that I need to apply my emotions to something I feel I can affect.


Also: does prettiness matter? If people didn't insist on calling me cute my whole life, would I feel such a need to look tough? Is it bad to look cute? Is it bad to look tough? Isn't it better to just be tough?

Not feeling super-over-the-top tough today.
