“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World

On a scale of 1-10, how lame is it that I’m crying now?

Does the birth control pill make women happier?

Pill users during partner choice are less sexually satisfied/attracted to partners, but are more satisfied overall with their relationships.

“Although they’re less sexually satisfied, they are MORE satisfied with nonsexual aspects of their relationship, including a partner’s financial provision and support.”

Woah, woah, WOAH! Did I just read that gold diggers/women dependent on joint finances are happier than women having good sex? Good thing I’m in the poor/gettin-it-great group!

“These hormones influence what characteristics women are attracted to in a mate.”

So I only picked my man because some silly chemicals told me to? Um, duh. That’s how attraction works!

“When women are on the pill, however, they are in an “eternally pregnant state,” meaning they aren’t ovulating and may be wired to instead to seek out genetically similar men — essentially, the genetic equivalent of a relative — because evolutionarily, family would help raise the baby. This desire for genetically similar men was found in a study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. That same 2008 study found that women not taking hormonal birth control prefer genetically dissimilar men and those with higher testosterone levels and more masculine features.”

Eternally pregnant?!?!?!?!?! I’m fucking out of here. *starts building spaceship*

“And supporting the lower sexual satisfaction in birth-control couples, previous research has indicated that females with genetically similar partners express lower sexual satisfaction and have a higher interest in having sex with someone who isn’t their partner; essentially, they think about cheating.”

That’s right, gals, you can blame your birth control for your infidelity!

“It’s not likely that a small change in a single biological parameter will make a big difference,” noting that the differences the study found, while statistically significant, were small.

Oh, nevermind. We were just kidding. You didn’t buy into any of that, did you?

Well this is bullshit. Postsecret really upsets me sometimes, because I wouldn’t wish these thoughts on anyone.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t worthy of true love (NOT EVEN YOURSELF), no matter what you look like. The number on the scale does not dictate anything.

Sincerely, 

A fatty completely and utterly in the depths of true love.

Signed again, Sandy and Jordan (7+ years and going strong!)

There is seriously no time in your terrifying, short life to put up with people who don’t ‘get’ you.
