“I used LiveJournal frequently, almost daily, since ~age 13 until ~18. I kept a personal diary there. I also participated in various "LiveJournal communities". At the risk of sounding patronizing or something, I see LiveJournal and now Tumblr as wonderful because they give young girls ways to interact with eachother and learn and talk about new interests, ideas etc as well as support eachother emotionally.” WayGivingWellsIdeasAgeYoungUsedGirlInterestCommunitySupportWonderfulRiskVariousEtcDiariesPatronizing Author:Marie Calloway
“I admire narcissism in Momus and others who "own" it and use it as a way to explore ideas/themselves and also as a form of humor. I don't think of myself as narcissistic, but I'm definitely incredibly self absorbed. I guess I wonder if seeing the world through the lens of yourself is necessarily less valid than other ways of thinking/seeing though.” IfsThinkingWorldWayIdeasSelfUseFormWonderSeeingAdmireNarcissismLensesWay Of ThinkingNarcissisticSeeing The WorldSelf Absorbed Author:Marie Calloway
“I admire Joyce Maynard a lot, specifically her memoir "At Home in the World." Her writing is beautiful and fascinating and seemed to give me validation to the idea that I could write validly in earnest about my life with (my) very feminine point of view, and also that I could unapologetically explore the bad traits of my character (which I find to be more interesting to explore than the good traits), as well as explore other concepts that interest me like private vs public personas, age gap relationships, etc.” WorldGivingWritingWellsIdeasCharacterHomeAgeBeautifulInterestInterestingViewsConceptsGive MePoint Of ViewMemoirAdmireEtcFascinatingFeminineGapsTraitsEarnestPersonaValidationJoyceAge Gap Author:Marie Calloway
