I am proud of my 32 years. For all the times I wanted so much to die, but I didn't. Surviving my Dad, being stalked, abused, coming to terms with my borderline personality disorder and PTSD. I have grown and learnt so much. More than I ever thought I would. Met the most beautiful souls I am honoured to call my friends. Fallen in love, and out. Visited places i never dreamt I would get to see. Lost my mind and collected the pieces again. Been broken, crushed, and got the fuck back up again. 9 months since I learned that years of fear and pain from one human can be reduced to ashes.. In a jar in your arms on the beach, fragments of bone, heavier than you would imagine. I'm accepting that life is not a game, or a race, and it's okay to just 'be'. That nature is the only truly calming presence in my life, that art, photography and music are a lifeline. That thinking outside yourself and being outside your mind brings inner peace and that peace and calm reflects light light on the water. That you can soak knowledge and love from the presence of friends and complete strangers. That there should be no shame or stigma attached to getting older, especially as a woman. These wrinkles are smile lines and laughter from the best moments of my life. From feeling the sun shining on my face. My white roots, my expanding thighs, my baby-having hips and my pot belly when I've eaten all my tea. Maybe if we stop saying things like "you look good for your age" it will be okay just look your age. More and more I am in awe, amazed and overwhelmed by how short life is. I am so blessed. I am okay. I am 32. Happy Birthday to me ✌ This ramble was inspired by one of my longest and most beautiful friends @caliconeva love you #girlpower #32 #ageing #birthday #birthdaygirl #selfie #rant

I took this photo before I went out today. Before I had a horrible confrontation with an aggressive and nasty weak man that decided to make comments on my appearance. So.. just a reminder to these specific types of males. WE DO NOT EXIST FOR YOU. We are are own entirely separate entities and contain a whole universe that only a real man could fathom. I did not get my piercings or my tattoos for you.. therefore I couldn't give a tiny shit what you think of them. I did not wear this outfit for your approval. My skin is not yours to touch. I haven't invited you here. I am a whole person who has dealt with bullies far worse..and continue to at least once a week when I go outside. We are not yours to touch.
