Masha Tupitsyn in this incredible Bitch interview on Love Dog (via marginalutilite)
I’ve been reflecting a lot on my own active principle, the ultra-romantic in me. When I was young, I wanted to be mysterious (I even wrote this as something of a goal when I was 11) - but I failed miserably at it. I was always pursuing. Trust me, this did not usually go so well. I was “too forward,” “too emotional,” “too much,” “too available.” It was probably terrifying to have a young girl be so in touch and also so openly desirous. The passivity required to wait for the pursuit to “be happening” to me is yawn-inducing, and I find myself checking the metaphoric time. Passivity is not my strong suit. It does not speak entirely to our make-up, as women, that because we are the receivers, ironic welcomers, we do not have the mechanics of active pursuit.
Amen, Masha. Intense interview.
