I am Really Thankful This Year

Thankful for my mom who still lets her 23 year old son live at home rent free and tells me she’s just happy I’m here. Thankful for my grandma and our close relationship, thankful I can talk to her, that I know I can say anything to her and she will still love me and respect me. Its just a feeling of safety I have with her that I don’t have with anyone, and I’m so blessed by that relationship. Thankful for my cousins, all decades apart in age and some of whom I’m separated from by half the country or 200 miles of the 101, but all who mean so much to me, and who I look up to, even--especially--the ones who are younger than me. I am in awe of their talents, aptitude, raw ability, and simultaneous modesty. For my aunts and uncles, all of whom I am lucky enough to have formed very unique and very special relationships with from infancy because my family for the most part is all in the bay area. I am thankful that I got to see them all today, and that my source of income allows me to work when I choose, which let me be productive before I went and spent the holiday with the family I am oh so thankful for.  I am thankful that I am 23 years old with no degree because I am afforded the luxury of still enjoying higher education. I am thankful for my friends, because they really really don’t mind my shit and even though they know the shitstorm that’s going on in my head, they couldn’t care less. I am thankful for the shitstorm going on in my head, for my sweaty hands and feet, for my heartbeat that will start pounding too fast in an instant, for my anxious soul, because it forced me to become creative and quite frankly, charmingly eccentric, if i may be so bold as to make the claim.

This is the exact irony of islamophobia. The image on the flag is a famous image How I Met Your Mother taught me about that looks both like a rabbit and a duck. Allah is the rabbit and Christian God is the duck. Same thing, seen differently

Viola Davis has never shied away from harsh truths. On Tuesday, Davis spoke to the Stuart House (a nonprofit for sexually abused children) about trauma in her own family.  Through her speech, she explained how abuse changes survivors’ lives and what she wishes she could say to her sister now: “I wish I could tell my sister …”

Watch: This is how ridiculous it sounds when we portray stereotypes on screen.

All my world is  a stage

and I’m standing on it alone, and there’s no one in the audience, and there’s an earthquake and all the beams and rafters and stage lights are crashing down around me and it’s shaking and it’s shaking and everything is falling and breaking and I’m running stage left and stage right but I can’t get off the stage and this opera house is old and abandoned and I keep ducking everything as it falls but no matter how many things I duck and how many times I think it’s going to stop falling, there is a never ending sequence of aftershocks and an infinite amount of ceiling that just keeps crashing down around me.

Dozens killed in Nigeria market bombing

“At least 32 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in a blast at a market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola, the Red Cross and National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said.

The explosion occurred at a fruit and vegetable market beside a main road in the Jimeta area of Adamawa’s state capital on Tuesday night.

“The ground near my shop was covered with dead bodies. I helped to load 32 dead bodies into five vehicles,“ witness Alhaji Ahmed, who owns a shop in the market, told the Reuters news agency.” 

Please pray for Nigeria! Don’t let this become a hash tag! Even though the media is not covering it, we must not let this be unheard! Please repost,reblog,and post on every social media network!

An Open Letter to Myself

You’ve become so self-absorbed with your own emotions you don’t even try to protect your mother from them anymore. Instead you think if just one person could understand your emotions you’d feel better. That’s just not true. You’ve got to hide your emotions, and not because of patriarchy telling you to but because of love. Don’t you love anymore? Don’t you love your own mother enough to protect her from the man you’ve become? Have you fallen so out of love with it all that you would hurt your own mother with how you’re really feeling? Put the lid back on, no one deserves this. Why are you aching to make people--someone, anyone--understand? Don’t you love them enough to hope and pray that they’ll never understand? Why would you want them to? Misery loves company but I thought you weren’t such a miserable excuse for a human. Just… hold yourself up. If you loved at all you’d never let them understand what you’re going through. What kind of a human would ever want other humans to share in the horror?

The universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out our reactivity, which is our attachment, our clinging, to pain, to pleasure, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there are places where we’re vulnerable, the universe will find ways to confront us with them.
