held captive by the passive

Melissa. 20. Always changing but never learning. Still moving forward despite looking through these blushed shades that shape my experiences. This is all I can speak for as of right now but I continue to search for more.

"I wish that I could, but I’m so close to finishing season one of ‘Damages’, and I made this, like, amazing cashew stir-fry for the week, so I’m actually pretty booked."

Listening to random mixes on 8tracks

and a song called Northern Wind by City and Colour comes on. I had never heard this particular song before but it sounded painfully familar. It took me a bit to realize it but you "wrote" that song for me years ago. The lyrics were changed a bit but that was the song. The song I listened to about a thousand times, feeling exceedingly special, felling as if those words were a gift given to me, that they were all mine. There are numerous things like this that I was so terribly caught up in then in the naivity of being young and far away. I allowed myself to exxagerate these moments until they were this monumnetally wonderful thing. But like most of us, it was manilpouated, false, seemingly so much greater than it actually was. I can laugh about it now, it's a joke I can tell, a story I can cite, and a memory I can lose.

South Carolina Colleges to Lose Funding for Assigning Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home:

I was forced to read Fun Home at Northwestern, in a literary memoir class. Not only did it kickstart a personal yearning for queer works that I still treasure to this day, but the groundbreaking graphic memoir about a lesbian coming to terms with her and her closeted father’s sexuality engaged my entire class as to the power of non-traditional storytelling.

Fun Home was the most honest, daring and powerful books we read that semester. And I will forever thank my professor for the introduction. I only hope that students in South Carolina can have a similarly life-changing academic privilege.
