I feel like my mum named a baby and didn’t really think about me being an adult
I spelt my name differently for a whole year of school because someone else had the same name as me
I love names that you can nickname but mine can’t be

i have a name that has been fucked with and interpolated a lot (long story). i have had ideas since middle school to change my name to like Harley, use my middle name, or recently during a breakdown something closer to it with easier spelling. it got to the point where my psychiatry appointments are actually done in that fake name and i just chose not to tell them 😂
all this to say, my name has grown on me and i would feel uncomfortable to change it. BUT, i would never want to have my future children experience the annoyance of people mispronouncing their name for the rest of their lives.

I've gone by so many nicknames that everybody thinks it odd to call me by my real name at all (some people even get it wrong), so I've accepted having different names from different people. I've always liked my name, especially since my mom put so much thought into it (even the fact it would make a good nick name), but unfortunately I feel like it no longer represents me. I've sorta outgrown it, so Im sorta looking for a new name. Either way the name that matters is the one you feel most aligned with.

which was embarrassing + frustrating as a child. As an adult I figured out a joke to teach people to say my name correctly and now I really love having an un-nicknamable name + also basically a mononym cos U have probably never met another one of me in Ur life !!

I really hate how dependent activism has become on social media. If you are like me and try to stay off ig etc as much as possible - let the one thing you do for Palestine be talking to your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. The mainstream media is sooo terrible and that is what the older generations are consuming. Talk to the older people in your life and make sure they have an accurate understanding of what is going on in Palestine.

See also: knob. Alternatively, for something not phallic related, I have been loving calling things I don’t like people doing nasty no matter the context.

Just watch it. Opened Letterboxd for the first time in ages just to log it and it wasn’t enough I need to scream it from every proverbial rooftop. I will be thinking about this film every day for a long, long time.
