“Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life will feel like a Coppola film.”

There's NO excuse for hitting a woman, unless you're slapping dat ass during sex

The horrific reality of abusive relationships - the fact that a person could put their hands on another whom s/he purports to love and care for - is one we have been confronting for years. Never was the issue more prominent in our culture than after the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident in 2009, and the dialogue has continued since. Why do the abused stay with and/or return to the abuser? Do they feel as though they provoked their partner’s anger? As though they deserved it, or as though he was just having a bad day and didn’t mean it? More importantly, why does anyone feel the desire to hurt the person they love? Of course, domestic violence happens to “regular” people every day, albeit with much less credence given to it. Celebrity culture - uncomfortably pervasive as it may be - only serves to kickstart the conversation and hopefully draw more attention to stopping such terrible acts of violence against women (and yes, some men, as well). Today, yet another …
Wearing an oversized shirt and no pants is probably the most comfortable thing of life.
