the life and times of jannat m.
hi. my name is jannat. i'm a pakistani muslim american immigrant, currently living in nc and planning to move to dc in the fall for law school. i used to call myself a feminist but now it's more like deconstructionist postcolonial feminist/womanist. i love to write, and my blog is a mix between pretty things and social justice. i have a lot of opinions.
note: if you see that i've reblogged a piece of art you've created & you're not credited in the post, please message me & i'll add the credit if you want!

"You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”."
