I only have one thing to say: if you are racist, support white supremacists and still believe that 'white privilege' doesn't exist then please unfollow this goddamn blog right now, I have spent the past two fucking days protesting in my home town - I have voluntarily exposed myself to verbal abuse off close-minded, brainwashed, nasty humans to support a cause I hold dear. It disgusts me that the cause even has to exist for the reasons that it does - the very fact that people are treated differently because of something so small. But we have close-minded, homophobic, misogynistic and racist people in power who have utter and complete control over what is seen and heard. Black people shouldn't and don't deserve to be shot in the street, to be oppressed and to be discriminated against.

 If you are or know someone who will be joining the protests, please don’t bring your smart-watches, phones or any other devices that track your location as some states are using these items to track protesters to later arrest them. Also make yourself as unidentifiable as possible - so wear baggy clothing that covers any tattoos, scars or recognisable features, write any emergency contacts on your arms or other limbs and make sure you have a knowledge your rights should you be arrested! Please be careful and prepare accordingly if you are joining these protests.

“In defense of an illusion: facts undoubtedly exist-not only are you right, but you know you are right.” “Dare to be wrong!” It’s a phrase that has been rolling around in my head this week. I struggle with hard core anxiety and that anxiety causes me to people please and try to be perfect . With that kind of anxiety it is brave to chance being wrong. I’m wrong often.

“ I’ve got to perform with my friends saying, “It’s porno?” Lol no, what I really say is, “I can’t wait!” I love performing in front of an audience, I love speaking out loud even though I’m an introvert. I get a thrill from saying what needs to be said. I know what I have to say is important. “ I have a purpose,” is what I discovered in the hospital and it’s what I want to share with you: hope is always real for a better life – you can have a life worth living. #blackoutpoetry #blackoutcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #blackoutpoetrytribe #xfiles #xfilesforever #mindfulness #thetruthisoutthere #selfcare #ihaveapurpose #hopeisreal #artheals #nostigma #reducestigma #speakout #speakoutloud #raiseyourvoice #gratitude #gratefuleveryday #laughteristhebestmedicine #ocdrecovery #edrecovery #bipolarrecovery #schizorecovery #bpdrecovery #anxietyrecovery #depressionrecovery #recovery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bul4gt0h3sg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=za9upy83mkvt

“How ‘bout a nice head-butt just to lighten it up?” Lol sometimes life is so frustrating that we feel like a head-butt will make things better but it just causes a headache. Take time for self care. Read a book. Create some art. Sing a song. Go back to bed. Call a friend. Do what you need to do “to lighten up.” As Emily Saliers sings, “its only life, after all...” #selfcare #emilysaliers #indigogirls #blackoutpoetry #blackoutcommunity #makeblackoutpoetry #artheals #takeanap #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalwellness #takecareofyou #alifeworthliving #hopeisreal #recovery #bpdrecovery #bpdwarrior #edwarrior #edrecovery #bipolarrecovery #bipolarwarrior #depressionrecocery #depressionwarrior #anxietywarrior #anxietyrecovery #schizoawesome #writerscommunity #lesbianwisdom #dbtskills #youmatter #closertofine https://www.instagram.com/p/BubYnvJhMwb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4zyni2523ewp

“Small gratitude-expose the truth-no sacred cows.” From my x-files book. The spirit of the show seems apropos with our Trump administration. I’m currently binge watching x-files-its very comforting after a busy week. #blackoutpoetry #blackoutcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #blackoutpoetrytribe #xfiles #xfilesforever #mindfulness #conspiracy #conspiracytheory #trustnoone #thetruthisoutthere #exposethetruth #nosacredcows #selfloveisthebestlove #selfcaresunday #selfcare #comfort #bingewatching #dbt https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_SYhUBJXh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kxlii1ossplp
