I have a life pro-tip for all you youngin's out there. Find you a few lazy 5-minute recipes, and always keep the ingredients to those recipes in your pantry for the days when you come home from work and don't feel like doing SHIT but you still hungry AF. Here's a new one I discovered recently and am gonna make a million times because it's so damn easy, yet healthy yet tasty. Get you a big bag of frozen mixed veggies. I got the "Normandy blend" which is broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini. Put some of that shit on a pan (aluminum foil down first). If you really fancy then you can use fresh veggies and peppers. Add a chopped onion, or some red potatoes too if you wish. Get you some of those packaged sausages, like the Eckrich brand. Beef, pork, turkey, whatever. Slice it up into nice thick pieces and add that to the pan. Drizzle olive oil all up in that bitch. Now mix it all up with your hands, try and coat all of it with the oil. Now add basil, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, and parsley all up in the bitch. Just sprinkle it all over real good. Salt n peppa too if you roll like that. Mix that bitch up real nice. Pop it into a 400 degree oven and roast the motherfucker for 15, 20 minutes. Open it and mix it up again. Back in the oven for however long it takes for the sausage to brown, prolly just another 5. That's it! Serve over white rice and get yo eatin' on!! #healthyaf #recipes

Even though 2016 may go down as a terrible year in national history books, I consider this past year to be one of my happiest, on a personal level. I was incredibly lucky to have been able to experience everything that I did. I traveled to New Orleans, Seoul, and the San Francisco/Bay area, and left a piece of my heart in each city. I got to see Beyoncé live in concert, performed two different shows to thunderous audiences, JUMPED OUT OF AN AIRPLANE, and completed my second Tough Mudder. I watched one of my best friends get married, and reunited with old friends. I ate a ton of amazing food that I'll never forget. Most importantly, I spent 2016 living life as much as I could, and with those who matter most to me. I even found someone with whom I am very excited to have new experiences with. I am grateful for all the adventures I had this year. I can't wait to see what's next. #myyearinreview

I saw one of my friends post this and my heart keeps breaking. He is a math teacher in a high school.

Thank you to those who have reached out to me.

I am truly grateful to have "met" people on Tumblr who are as compassionate as you are. The U.S.A is in complete shambles today. And I've never been so ashamed to have to say that I am from here. The entire world was watching and we couldn't have fucked it up more than we did. Waking up this morning felt exactly like waking up to a house fire that destroyed everything. Everything that we've worked for and built with painstaking labor is suddenly gone overnight. I'm covered in ashes yet it feels surreal. I feel nothing short of devastated, shocked, angry, confused, and scared. I feel like the little girl on the playground again, surrounded by a bunch of white kids telling me that I didn't belong there because I'm "chinky." I see many of my housemates getting up and dusting themselves off, and many of my neighbors rushing to bring casseroles and extra clothes. They are ready to start rebuilding again. When I am ready to stand back up, I will join all of you in rebuilding this piece of shit house. But until then, give me a moment because a bitch is tired.
