I left with a song in my head

There's something special about my mom I hope to emulate one day; the way she appreciates life is very unique and genuine. Video quality ain't great but who cares.

My favorite one is, “come on Star Wars be original,” as if putting a man in the lead would be cutting edge stuff. Anyway…

Note to self - the weird half drunk uber conversations with drivers are usually the best. Have them when you can

Despite my rantings about the prospect of having kids, if I do decide to procreate i’m SO stoked to whip my boob out in public places and heckle the fuck out of anyone who isn’t down

Let time change you, but guide it as it passes - 

Three years ago I had never written a song, I was too afraid of being judged. Three years ago I undoubtedly believed I’d be married in five years and be the mother to a handful of kids who i’d shape and mold into little humans I adored. Three years ago thought I knew what it meant to love someone else, I thought I knew what it was to love myself. 

Right now I’m laying down in a bed with a bass and a friend’s mini amp - within the next two months I should have a loop pedal and my own lil’ amp with all the cords and fixings that come with it so that I can start writing more regularly. I have no plans to raise a family. It’d be nice in theory, but its something I have absolutely no way of comprehending as a 22 y/o woman who plans to work for the next few decades, and who can rarely find stability in others. I also adore the concept of having a ‘partner’... cause isn’t that what its about? Not tax benefits, not a legally binding agreement that many people maintain cause its a bitch to get out of and the ‘one cant tally up too many divorces’ mentality- did you know that in Sweden, citizens don’t reap any fiscal benefits from getting married? So what do they do? They don’t get married. Many form partnerships that function more personally without government involvement. It seems so simple and silly, but that is the coolest concept to me at the moment. The concept of respect (which ties into self love) is also something that I find incredibly interesting lately. I have to stop apologizing to people who don’t understand how to respect me. All of me. Me on days when I don’t shave my body, or me on those days when i’m super depressed and down on myself. Or me when I bring up the word feminism in casual conversation. Or the me that doesn’t want to have sex with you and just wants to lie there and talk. God damn. I’m so grateful for the life i’ve led so far, for the things and people who have changed me along the way. I used to be so afraid of change, its something I didn’t realize you need to let shift your bones in painful ways so you that you can stand up straighter each day.

Fans of Lupita Nyong’o were psyched when she announced last year that she’d been cast as a central character in the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens. But many fans were frustrated to later learn that Nyong’o wouldn’t be appearing onscreen as herself—instead she’d be voicing an entirely CGI character.

This week, Nyong’o herself shed some light on the casting. Nyong’o told Buzzfeed News that she selected the entirely CGI role, the first part she chose after winning an Oscar for role in 12 Years a Slave,  partly because she liked the idea of not having her body seen onscreen. In 12 Years a Slave, her performance was extremely physical and visceral—her character Patsey was whipped, raped, and otherwise brutally abused. “12 Years a Slave was a film that was so much about my body, and Star Wars is not at all,” Nyong’o told Buzzfeed. “There was a liberation in being able to play in a medium where my body was not the thing in question.”
