"Girl hate is not hating someone who
happens
to be a girl, it’s hating someone because
we’re told that, as
girls, we should hate other girls
who are as awesome as or more awesome
than ourselves. That there can ever only be
ONE cool girl, ONE funny
girl, ONE smart
girl, etc., in a circle of people ... I’m close
friends
with a girl I used to have some serious girl
hate for. Recognizing what
a wonderful person she
is not only made me realize how idiotic I was
being before, but it really did make me feel
better about myself.
Sometimes we can convince
ourselves that pointing out flaws in others
makes us
feel good, but ultimately, those moments of pleasure
are
fleeting. In the long run, they get you in the
habit of looking for
flaws in everyone, including yourself."
