Sometimes I fall in love with myself and I wonder why others don’t too. For the most part the only people that tell me their feelings for me are people I would never consider going out with. Maybe all the good ones are keeping their feelings to themselves like I normally do. The cycle of being single.
or maybe people are fat phobic and racist.

I want my parents to love me for who I am. I am so grateful they love me unconditionally but it’s a whole other thing for them to love the real you and be proud of that. That would be amazing. Right now I think my best bet is my interest in hearing their stories of Iran and experience as immigrants and my interest in our Iranian culture and history. I know they have so much pride and sadness for it and I know they would be proud of my interest.
Though it has been stifled, suppressed, and outlawed, the voice of the Iranian woman still resonates as boldly and beautifully as ever. Her’s is a voice of yearning, desire, and at times, despair, that has for millennia constituted a fundamental element of the Iranian soul. While today’s generation of female Iranian musicians, artists, activists – and all those who fight to make their voices heard – might seem like something of an anomaly, many would simply consider these women upholders and preservers of the spirit of Iran’s shir-zanan (lit. ‘lionesses’) of old. The tales of the harpist Azadeh, Shahrzad (a.k.a Scheherazade) the storyteller, and the warriors Gordafarid and Gordieh may all be but common lore; but as Deeyah Khan’s compilation clearly shows, the legacy of the heroines of Iran’s past continues to forcefully resound through the voice of the modern Iranian woman.

Sometimes I’m like hopeless shy kid romantic and then other times I’ll be charming as fuck. Everyone is still on the periphery and I’m clueless.
Wow today was a good day to look hot
I miss my switchblade
