rage We need to be the perfect girlfriends, and friends, and employees. We need to say yes to everything, to always be up for sex, and to spread ourselves so thin for others that there is nothing left for ourselves. We’re the girl bosses, the wonder women, the chicks who can really have it all. (Insert America Ferrera’s speech in Barbie here.) But nobody told us how exhausting keeping all those balls in the air is. Nobody talks about how burnt out they are. It’s why “no” continues to be the hardest thing to say. It’s why we lock ourselves in our cars and scream. It’s why we snap at our partners about boxes, and groceries, and vacuuming the rug. It’s bubbling up, frothing out, spilling over. It’s rage. Yes, yes, and yes. https://sundaysauce.substack.com/p/rage 10:05 a.m. - 2024-03-10 |
