Fierce lessons from Simone de Beauvoir: owning your life 💪

Sometimes, you just need to hear a voice that won’t back down. This is Simone de Beauvoir in All Said and Done, speaking straight from the heart: “What I’m sure of is that I will get out of this situation. The first eighteen years of my life made me who I am; I won’t betray them. I can’t imagine abandoning my ambitions or hopes, the very things that give meaning to my life.” She doesn’t wait around for life to happen — she takes charge, even if it means running into dead ends. She’s tough, but also hungry for growth. “I’m not easily hurt. If criticism is wrong, I ignore it. If it’s right, I welcome it. They can call me a feminist or intellectual all they want — I just am who I am, responsible for myself.” Growing up meant freedom for her, and even in the darkest days, she held on to hope. “Generally, I don’t care about how others see me. Those images are contradictory and meaningless, and I don’t waste my time on them.” She looked ahead excitedly, eager to build a life that would leave lasting memories. “Whether or not I leave Jacques, I will resume my studies, write, and eventually walk away from him. I will face many obstacles, but both hardship and ease will help me grow.” She lived fully, never fearing aging. Always curious, always with purpose — until the very end. If you ever doubt your own strength, learn from Beauvoir: own your life. #Entertainment #Books #FeministReads #SimoneDeBeauvoir #WomenPower

why did william and kate's family dog bring them to tears?

🐾 The Cambridge family’s love for animals is no secret, and their first dog, Lupo, was a true royal companion. Lupo, a charming English Cocker Spaniel, was at the heart of the family for nine years. But in 2021, the royals shared heartbreaking news—Lupo had passed away 😢. This loss deeply affected Prince William and Kate, as Lupo had been an integral part of their lives. However, not long after, the royal family welcomed a new member: Orla, another English Cocker Spaniel! 🎉 Orla, who’s like Lupo’s niece (they came from the same kennel), joined the family just in time to help heal the heartbreak. Orla made her public debut at Princess Charlotte’s seventh birthday party 🎂, showing just how much love continues to surround this royal household. #RoyalPets #LupoAndOrla #RoyalFamily

The Film That Fashion’s Been Stealing From for 20 Years

It was never supposed to be stylish. Gummo (1997) is a film that reeks of rot—rusty bathtubs, broken towns, kids numb from too much nothing. And yet… fashion keeps crawling back to it. Chloë Sevigny didn’t dress those characters to look cool. She raided thrift bins, borrowed her own closet. Metal tees, animal prints, ripped tights—filthy, jarring, real. That “just threw it on” chaos? It’s been ripped off by runways ever since. Supreme printed its scenes on tees. MSGM rewrote its dirt-core angst into glossy fabrics. Gummo never asked to be a muse—but the world, starving for authenticity, turned to its decay. Maybe we keep copying it because it didn’t try. Because real doesn’t age. Which movie’s fashion hit you like that—raw, wrong, unforgettable? Drop it in the comments. I want to know. #entertainment #movie #gummo

Leo isn’t afraid of walking away — they’re afraid of regret.

You could say Leo is generous, quick to forgive and move on. But you could also say they’re petty, dramatic, and like to keep score. The truth lies somewhere in between — and it all depends on whether things were explained properly. If something happens and no explanation is given, Leo will stash it in their memory, only to bring it back up during the next conflict. But if even the biggest drama comes with a sincere, logical reason that makes sense to them — they’ll drop it. For good. At the root of it, what truly ruins a relationship for Leo isn’t fighting or the cold war. It’s doubt. It’s feeling your suspicion, your dissatisfaction — and knowing you won’t even admit it. That’s what shakes their confidence in love. That’s what makes them question themselves. They start to think: Maybe leaving would be better. But what if we just gave it one more shot? So when Leo realizes a relationship isn’t working, they don’t immediately walk away. They start testing it — saying certain things, doing certain things — almost intentionally making things worse. Until the relationship becomes so draining and painful for both sides that it becomes clear that ending it is the only way out. It’s not manipulation. It’s Leo’s way of giving themselves permission to let go. It’s how they prevent regret — by making sure they tried, even if it ends in goodbye. #Entertainment #Astrology #Leo

growing up “the good girl”: reflections after reading The Second Sex

Growing up, I was taught to be “the good girl.” Quiet, polite, unambitious. To smile when uncomfortable, to avoid rocking the boat. Reading Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex made me realize these lessons weren’t just about manners — they were rules designed to shape and control women’s lives. De Beauvoir wrote, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.” That hit me deeply. It’s not biology but the social expectations that mold us into who we are — or who we are allowed to be. I remember countless times being told to soften my voice, to “not be too much,” as if my natural self was a problem. It wasn’t just family — schools, media, even friends played their part. This book helped me see those invisible chains and question the roles I’d unconsciously accepted. It’s a reminder that personal freedom begins by recognizing the societal scripts we’ve been handed — and then deciding which ones to rewrite. #Entertainment #Books #FeministPages #TheSecondSex
