underwhelmingly:

white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna 

take my skin colour too

and my dark brown lips

take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty

take the oppression too

take the history of colonization that has devastated my country

and the drones that currently devastate my country

take all the bad stuff too

not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits

take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

relevant.

bigundies:

sometimes people ask me about my hopes and dreams and all i can think of to say is “i want to have a life where i get drunk on patios at least 3 days out of the week”
