Tonight I was heating up sausage on the stove and my fire alarm started going off. I walked outside because I thought it was a drill (???) and it was JUST MY APARTMENT BEEPING. โฃ
โฃ
Please make me feel better and tell me in the comments if youโ€™ve set off the fire alarm before while cooking and what food it was that you were heating up. ๐Ÿ•
    Is anyone else completely unable to keep cash beca Is anyone else completely unable to keep cash because if they see anyone in need they will literally give it all away?โฃ
โฃ
I rarely have cash and when I do itโ€™s like $20 bills. I will actually just hand a $20 to someone asking for help and not bat an eyelash. โฃIts honestly why I canโ€™t live in NYC.

My boyfriend is honestly the same way and itโ€™s one of the reasons I love him! Do you do the same thing?

Even now, I generally donโ€™t feel like I am conventionally attractive. For a majority of my childhood, I was one of the only ones who looked like me. It was HARD. โฃ
โฃ
I didnโ€™t realize how much I wanted to โ€œfit inโ€ with the European beauty standards that I couldnโ€™t seem to replicate until much later on in life.โฃ
โฃ
Obviously I have NOT experienced this as much as women who are darker skinned with potentially kinkier hair, and I acknowledge that privilege, but it was still really hard for me! โฃ
