‘I used to think I thought the right way, like, who cares if everyone does bad things, because bad things are just what important people have to do. Who cares if Barack Obama bombs people and doesn’t even try to prosecute bankers, because that’s all just his job, and he loves gay people and yells at bigots and his wife is smart and has great arms. Who cares if Hillary Clinton is best friends with Henry Kissinger, because she is a woman and so am I, and she stands up to men, and isn’t that what feminism is all about, finally getting into the rooms, finally getting to be the one to kill the people who don’t matter? Since my life was a fantasy, I had no trouble inhabiting a larger one.’

genuinely no one else cares of how ur dancing, if ur off beat, being goofy, acting sexy, no one really cares. If anything, i feel like everyone is so hyper aware of what they look like that they're not even able to dance, and then u look awkward as hell! icl that be me sometimes but im trying to unlearn it.
go ahead and be corny and shake ur ass!!!!
