Me three years ago today at 2017 PRIDE, photo credits to my best friend Brieanna.

The pansexual flag as a butterfly, and "free kisses for all" on my thighs.

I got my hair cut today and bought a few shirts! I feel so good, and am looking forward to henna-ing my hair in a couple days :)

Changing Our Society Before Changing Our Government

It is scientifically proven by Social Psychology that two variables must be present in order for punishment (parenting, law enforcement, political scandals, etc.) to be lastingly effective: 1. It must be swift and consistent. 2. It must be a mild punishment (more teaching of the lesson than of the fear/pain). Using this knowledge, we must capitalize on our ability to affect change. When some group or individual is guilty of rape, discrimination (sexism, racism, bigotry), cheating, etc., we must draw attention to the harmful behavior so that it is clear it will not be tolerated, while still embracing growth within the offenders and empathy towards the consequences (victims). We can remind people to stay open minded, consider other possibilities, be kind, etc. Even more important, is the concurrent teaching of what is right to do in place of the wrong.

Homeostasis

Where in my biology did the blueprints to my mind go wrong? I live in a state so fragile, the slightest of imbalances throws me. Food, sleep, social, sun and air, written thought, and living touch. A moment of offness makes my world grow cold and long. Forgetting life, I lose myself and how to be. The perception shifts to one of negativity, and my skills evaporate. It’s too much, there’s not enough. ... Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Fingers dance as though on a piano. The keyboard is one and the same. Look away, look away from the screen and release any expectation. I hear the birds now, I feel my dog next to me, I remember the wind and sun now. Water. When did I last drink any water? A source of life that I so easily neglect. How does my instinct disappear so easily within insecurity and codependency and doubt? Every day is a struggle to remember, to remind myself. ‘Free time’ can hold the devil too. Movement is a way of life, and too often I allow myself to stand still.
