“I’m not doing awfully well but I’m trying very, very, very hard,”
— Anne Sexton, from a letter to Florence Ehrhardt, c. February 1974
Knowing that girls who sang "Dear John" at the top of their lungs in rage, are now women sobbing to "Would've, Could've, Should've" is 💔💔💔
She fought for us, now it’s time we fight for her👊🏼

this is all because I never experienced the triumphs and defeats the epic highs and lows of high school football
The scene in captain marvel where Carol is all like “you’re damn right I’m human,” and then it shows her standing up again every time she failed? Most powerful scene in any superhero film I’ve ever seen. It’s always empowering seeing your favorite heroes get back up again, but the fact that all of that was when she was human? Legendary. Because it was real. If Carol Danvers - pre-superpowers, fully human - can fight through her failures, then I can too.
