People are prettiest when they talk about something they really love with passion in their eyes.

Don’t Grow In, Lean In

This is one of the most powerful slam poetry performances I’ve ever seen. 

Lily Myers, the poet featured in the video, accurately portrays social norms which encourage women to be quiet, submissive, and take up as little space as possible. 

While the whole video is definitely worth your time to watch, pay close attention to 2:49-3:12, where Lily hits on a phenomenon which, as a student in a women’s college, I witness take place daily. She says, “I asked five questions in genetics class today and all of them started with the word sorry.” Apologizing before asking a question in class is something that I’m sometimes guilty of myself, and it represents a broader problem about how women view their roles within society. 

Women have no reason to apologize for asking questions, for raising their voices, or for taking up space. Women should be proud to take a seat at the table, and lean in at work, school, and every other area of their lives. Lily’s brave performance is just one example of a woman speaking her mind unapologetically.

I am missing you most in the silence between songs on my favourite records. Sometimes it takes so long for the music to start

A writer for the new york times interviewed a series of people who had survived jumping off the golden gate bridge. Every person she interviewed admitted that about two thirds of the way down, they realized that every seemingly meaningless problem that caused them to jump was fixable.

Every single one.

this gave me chills.

Reblogging this again because it matters.

[ana--mia--recovery]

When people say “recovery”, you typically think of returning to how you were before your illness. But there is no going back. You do not merely recover, but reinvent yourself. You become something completely different from what you were before.

You only have to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she’s not deadly. She’s beautiful and she’s laughing.
