I completely agree w/ Julie Klausner... Girls, grow the fuck up.

PS- this goes for boys too… time to admit you’re in your 30s and buy some pants that fit for christ’s sake.

Like people say: “This.”

Hell yes.  I will backhand the next precious whispering thing with the damn bangs and wide eyes being all droopy if this doesn’t stop soon.  I mean, if you have big eyes and like bangs and have a soft voice and all, awesome……if you’re not in your late twenties.  We are women.  There comes a time where you look around your sterile, florescent light office in the middle of some drone-type work and realize you’re wearing slacks and sensible flats and when you go home, you’re going to do laundry and package up some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  You don’t have to act like the ‘real’ you is the one who throws on the sundress and goes to the park and ‘journals’ (why is this a verb?) and that’s only the real you.  You grow up. 

Movies do not feature people you relate to, or heroines you want to identify with, and that’s okay.

The fashion industry will not serve up clothing that matches your style because you’re not 14 and that’s okay.

You will not be the high school junior who writes about her lonely feelings (LEAVE YOUR ROOM, DAMMIT!) and rips off flickr to have a cool tumblr, and that’s okay.

College guys will not even notice you, and that’s okay.

You will, I really hope, grow up.

And it will be more than okay.  It will be awesome.

And if we’re really lucky, it will happen before I slap the twee right out of you.
