My So-Called Life

I'm a writer, activist, random, and very sarcastic. I love black and white photographs, people who dance to their own beat and go against the 'norm' of society. This is just my little place in a chaotic world that I can escape to.

Breathe. It’s okay. You’re going to be okay. Just breathe. Breathe, and remind yourself of all the times in the past you felt this scared. All of the times you felt this anxious and this overwhelmed. All of the times you felt this level of pain. And remind yourself how each time, you made it through. Life has thrown so much at you, and despite how difficult things have been, you’ve survived. Breathe and trust that you can survive this too. Trust that this struggle is part of the process. And trust that as long as you don’t give up and keep pushing forward, no matter how hopeless things seem, you will make it.

And just like that I fell apart, I completely shattered into a million pieces onto the floor. You need "space" to fix yourself mentally, so I must give that to you. For 3 years we've been inseparable and now I must leave you. I'm angry, I'm hurt, I'm confused, I'm understanding, I'm empathetic and I'm shattered. I have to give you want you need but it's new to me to feel alone. I haven't felt alone in 3 years and now suddenly I feel like I am the only person left in the world. I've finally broken down, crying to the point of being sick, there are almost no words. I don't know what to do, where to go, how to think...I'm shattered. Just shattered.

I deal with pain, mental or physical, the way I think everybody should: Silently.

You.

Yes, you. On the other side of the screen.

Congratulations.

You made it this far. You made it all the way through 2015.

You’ve been through lots of shit, and lots of awesomeness.

You’ve changed, you’ve grown.

You tried new things, you saw a lot.

You were sad, you were happy. 

You were worried then carefree, stressed then relieved.

You could have gotten married to someone very special.

Or made a friend that now means the world to you.

Or gotten a promotion in your work. Or finished college/high school.

You might have changed someone’s life for good, and you don’t even know.

Anyway it is, or was, I’m proud of you.

Next year will be a better year. I believe in you.

Happy 100th Birthday to old blue eyes himself., Frank Sinatra. There is nothing like listening to the voice Sinatra and if you've never heard him, You're not living your life right. "The big lesson in life, baby, is never be scared of anyone or anything." -Frank Sinatra 1915-1998 #franksinatra #oldblueeyes #100birthday

60 years ago today, on December 1, 1955 one woman started a movement that would create change across the nation. Remember people, it doesn't take a rich politician, a famous celebrity, or a millionaire tycoon to change the course of our world, it simply takes one individual, in this case a seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama, to have the courage to say "enough is enough" and demand change. Imagine what we could do, if we all stood united, black and white, straight and LGBT, rich and poor, man and woman, Christian and Muslim, you and me. Imagine what we could accomplish, together. Thank you Rosa Parks for not giving up your seat, for making the decision to no longer give in to racism and segregation, and to no longer be treated as a second class citizen. Thank you for being courageous enough to be the change you wanted to see in the world.

This is a face of a refugee denied U.S. citizenship in 1941. If it had been granted she'd be 86 years-old living in Boston as a famous writer. Instead Anne Frank died in 1945 at the age of 15 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. "It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality," Anne Frank wrote in 1944 diary "It's a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart." With the Syrians needing help, it makes me wonder, how far have we really come?

Historical fact people.

Fact.

I'm not sure on the solution to Isis or terrorism. I do think grouping everyone together isn't the solution or the humane thing to do. Not all Muslims are terrorists, not all whites are in the KKK, not all Christians support Westboro Baptist Church. You can not assume all Muslims or refugees are terrorists and if you do, you need to reeducate yourself. We, as a world, are all in this together. Yes, we need to take care of our people and problems but as the "leader" and the "land of the free" we are seen as the "land of opportunity" but we've turned into the land of discriminative snobs. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door."-Emma Lazarus These words are on the Statue of Liberty and still ring true today. I don't know the answers or a solution but ignoring people who need help and a safe place, is not going to change this world. If anything, it'll make it worse.
