there’s nothing i want more than your lips against mine
You can tell a girl she’s smart her whole life, encourage her in school, buy her a chemistry set, send her to math camp, help her apply for college scholarships in STEM fields, and she’s still eventually going to walk into a classroom, a lab, or a job interview and have some man dismiss her existence, deny her funding, pass her over for a promotion, or take credit for her work. How about you work on getting those assholes out of power and quit telling me not to call girls pretty.
You are not a burden.
You are not a bother.
You enhance the lives of others.
People smile, not groan, when you text them.
Your voice.
Your presence.
You, matter.
