Hello world.

Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.

Successful people are not gifted. They just work hard, then succeed on purpose.

She was unstoppable. Not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.

[wordsnquotes]

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (via wordsnquotes)

I hate how today being a successful woman means having a degree and a career. Feminism and aaaall that, all women are worthy and have free will and aaaaaaaall that until a woman chooses (!) to stay home and dedicate herself to raising her children in the best way possible and being a house wife, that’s when you suddenly start to belittle her and call her oppressed. Because raising children does not take all your mental and physical strength right? Because being the person your children first learn the essentials of life from does not require intellect right? Because raising well mannered and educated children does not make you successful right? The only people that are oppressed are exactly those who strive to become what today’s society has defined as “successful”. Free are those who break out of that social pressure and ideology and do what THEY want and not what is accepted and respected in a society that destroys people with its own hands

On the left is Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a 16 year old Yemeni-American boy killed while eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant by a drone strike ordered by Obama in 2011.

On the right is his 8 year old sister, Nora Al-Awlaki, who was killed on January 29, 2017 by a military raid ordered by Donald Trump.

This is one of the saddest and most striking reminders of how the U.S. military under both Democratic and Republican presidencies is able to kill innocent lives in the global south with impunity.

We need to realize that Trump is not a unique threat. Trump is a continuation of a tradition of imperial and colonial violence practiced Obama, Bush, Clinton, and all american leaders for centuries.
