"Out Of The Vein" was a criminally underrated album.
I'll never understand why women try to be a "guy's girl." I always see things on here like, " watching football and eating wings—i'm such a guy!" The reality is not that women want to be men, it's that they want to be someone desirable to men. Society paints a picture that women should conform to what a man is looking for. The problem is, women lose themselves in the process.
When do you see men tweeting, "went shopping and bought Starbucks today...i'm such a girl! You don't—even though I know plenty of men who shop and drink Starbucks. This is because men wouldn't dare embrace being feminine. But women, they have powder puff football leagues dedicated and geared towards a male target audience. Beer commercials always paint the picture of a woman in the kitchen nagging her husband during the game, eating gluten-free burgers.
Men love their masculinity and wouldn't dare threaten it for anything. Why don't women feel the same about their femininity? I love being a woman and everything that entails. Golf bores me to tears, I drink girly cocktails and I fucking love gluten-free burgers. I'm not interested in being interesting to men. I'm plenty interesting on my own.
I'm a firm believer that "actions speak louder than words." But sometimes words don't need to be loud in order to be heard. Sometimes a few subtle words resinate with us better. A kiss on the forehead might show you that you're loved, but a million kisses could never trump hearing the words for the first time. Actions are truth, but words are proof. Words are powerful.
