When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty.

New project looking for submissions!
overview:
ok, so: close friends asking questions” attempts to create a space to share stories, feelings and methods of connecting, but anonymously. in this space, open up as honestly we would with a close friend, with questions that maybe only a close friend can ask, and answers that only a close friend might share.
why do this?
all those little truths and all the collected wisdom of our lives get edited out of our social media, out of the movies and TV shows, out of the news entertainment shows, and out of the passing conversations we have with people we don’t really know. maybe that’s right and safe. but because of this, the impression left behind in those spaces is of someone far happier, far sadder, or simply very different from our true selves. so we go through life impressed, comparing, concerned and questioning the value of our own inner lives against inaccurate representations of others’.
ok, so: close friends asking questions” aims to undo a little of that, and instead focus on who we connect with deeply, how we ask questions of those people, and how we share ourselves in those relationships.
what am i doing with submissions?
the first project i plan to present the material through will be in blog format. after that, depending on the quantity, medium and subject matter of submissions, it may move into video, audio or publication projects. ultimately, all materials submitted will belong to me for the variety of possible projects, from its first intended form as a blog onward, all within the same context as this original request.
how to participate:
the interviews i’m looking to collect can be with anyone and can be about absolutely anything that you both consent to discussing and sharing. seriously. the focus of the interview can be about anything.
while submissions need real names, the work will be presented to the public anonymously.
you can send video files, audio files, written transcripts, chat (gchat, AIM, Skype, etc.) transcripts, photos and other ephemera that can be digitally shared with me. whatever suits you.
please share this with anyone you think might be interested, and feel free to email me with questions, ideas, or submissions at: closefriendsaskingquestions @ gmail dot com

The Octavia Project
“We use science fiction to encourage girls to dream big and empower them with skills to design their own futures. Our free summer program gives teenage girls from Brooklyn the space to explore science and tech through art and writing, growing their confidence and building skills while dreaming new futures for themselves and their communities.”

I wish I were a teenaged girl now, so I could get in on this amazing program.

“ok, so: close friends asking questions” creates a space to anonymously open up as honestly we would with a close friend, with questions that maybe only a close friend can ask, and answers only a close friend might share.
these genuine feelings and connections are edited out of social media experiences, the movies, the sitcoms, the news entertainment shows, and out of the passing conversations we have with people we don’t really know.
the impression we often leave behind in those spaces is, thus, of someone far happier, far sadder, or simply very different from our true selves. so we go through life overly impressed, comparing, concerned and misinformed, questioning the value of our own inner lives against inaccurate representations of others’.
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

“You’re talking about recreation, which everyone is in favor of. You are also talking about something that has been illegal for so many years, and marijuana is responsible for such a large part of the prison population, for the crime of self-medication. And it takes millions and billions of dollars by incarcerating people for this crime against oneself as best can be determined. People are realizing that the war on drugs is a failure, that the amount of money spent, you could have bought all the drugs with that much money rather than create this army of people and incarcerated people…Now that we have crack and crystal and whatnot, people don’t even think about marijuana anymore, it’s like someone watching too many videogames in comparison. The fact that states are passing laws allowing it means that its threat has been over-exaggerated. Psychologists recommend smoking marijuana rather than drinking if you are in a stressful situation. These are ancient remedies, alcohol and smoking, and they only started passing laws against them 100 years ago.”

“In the 1890s, when Freud was in the dawn of his career, he was struck by how many of his female patients were revealing childhood [sexual] victimization to him. Freud concluded that child sexual abuse was one of the major causes of emotional disturbances in adult women and wrote a brilliant and humane paper called “The Aetiology of Hysteria.” However, rather than receiving acclaim from his colleagues for his ground-breaking insights, Freud met with scorn. He was ridiculed for believing that men of excellent reputation (most of his patients came from upstanding homes) could be perpetrators of incest. Within a few years, Freud buckled under this heavy pressure and recanted his conclusions. In their place he proposed the “Oedipus complex,” which became the foundation of modern psychology… Freud used this construct to conclude that the episodes of abuse his clients had revealed to him had never taken place; they were simply fantasies of events the women had wished for… This construct started a hundred-year history in the mental health field of blaming victims for the abuse perpetrated on them and outright discrediting of women’s and children’s reports of mistreatment by men.”

“No one gives people their qualities. Not God or society, not parents or ancestors, and not even people themselves. Nobody is responsible for people existing in the first place, or for the state or circumstances or environment they are in.”
—F. Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, “The Four Great Errors,” §8 (edited excerpt).
She always surprises you this way, by knowing more than you think she does. She seems, at times, to have read your thoughts. She disarms you by saying, essentially, I know what you’re thinking and I agree, I’m ridiculous, I’m far less than I could have been and I’d like it to be otherwise but I can’t seem to help myself. You find that you move, almost against your will, from being irritated with her to consoling her, helping her back into her performance so that she can be comfortable again and you can resume feeling irritated

I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
