Who I Might Have Been...
In light of these new court cases I can't help but wonder where I would be if I had been allowed to live and love the way that I'd wanted to. These days I am happily engaged--but not until after years of sneaking around, trying to figure out who I was without my family, friends and my entire town finding out. Trying to figure out who you when your family is entirely Catholic, being raised in a supremely Republican small town--there is no room to find out who and what you are. I've finally come to terms with my own sexuality--but I'm not ashamed of it anymore, and neither should anyone else. America is only one country, Native American's had marriages between same sex couples as do other countries where genders other than male and female are recognized and appreciated as well. These humans deserve no less than any of the rest of us--perhaps we should stop basing the rights of others based on a book that only some of the population follows, but rather on the ideals that we are all created equal.
The most terrifying part of the whole movie: when Wednesday smiles.
When I'm around peppy cheery morning people when I'm hungover
Spring Break
Happy Tuesday all!
I'm enjoying my break watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone--what are you up to this week?
Watching The Sorcerers Stone when I saw this--fabulous :)
My Post Secret I wish I was better at taking care of women who have been through the same things I've been through--but who lack the ability to go on afterward.. I have a hard time being compassionate toward women who use abuse as an excuse..
If you have a question or a complaint--a judgment or a topic, from relationships to culture to art, I really don't care. Tell me or ask me whatever you want, because staying silent never got anybody anywhere.
My Mantra
"You have a right to take up space in this universe. Do not apologize for existing. You have a right to exist."
I really love this--definitely worth a glance at.
Choosing the Losers
What does it mean to be a square? What makes a person lame or "uncool?" When we pass up the offer to do an activity that has been tested to put you at higher risk for psychosis and mental illness (Lancet), we sanction ourselves in a strange place. In a country where the majority of the population is voting to legalize marijuana (Graves), Americans are becoming more or less desensitized to the long term effects of the drug and instead see it as so-n-so's past time pleasure. Everyone and their children are doing it (Staff), so it must be the "cool" thing to do right? Or is this just the new fad that people are doing to pass the time? Disconnecting from themselves and others to be on another level of time and thought, pushing for those around them to partake and join in on the action. To the ones focused on the present who manage to make it by without using, you are above the negative sanction of anyone who is trying to make you smoke--and the ones that do try to make you, aren't really worth being around to begin with.
Just a quick disclaimer, if you smoke that's great, if you don't, that's great too. I voted for it, I have no qualms with that. I wrote this post shortly after a family member offered me some of their weed and upon my gentle refusal, proceeded to insult me. I don't care what it is or who you are, choice is choice and whatever yours might be is the right one for you--chances are you'll find more peace in your decisions than any of the ones I observed tonight.

A Fresh Start
In order for there to be progress, there must first be chaos. From what I've observed, many people only recognize the chaos—and very rarely relate the past to the present or future. I have spent over the last year figuring out that sadness is a wonderful thing. Having things broken leaves room for those things inside of you to be rebuilt—and to be built back up with a sense of purpose. We don’t appreciate the sad things, and what has taken me over the last several months to find is the abundant joy that comes after the devastation.
We can only truly and thoroughly appreciate the good after having experienced the alternative There’s a saying, “don’t fix it if it aint broke,” I think especially in American culture we are trained to be so afraid of rebuilding from the ground up because it would mean starting among chaos and labor. Through the turmoil and hard work, progress is born and mistakes are found and fixed. We never notice the things that are only serving to corrupt us because all we do is build and attach—when the real improvements can only begin with tearing down the additions and breaking down the walls we've built to feed the termites inside.
Humor the sadness and welcome the happiness afterwards with an appreciation known by someone who has rebuilt themselves around a new and fresh way of seeing the joys of living every, every minute. If you allow it, the most unimportant day of your life will be important enough when you take into account all of the ones you've wasted on thinking about how sad you've been. Sadness is progress—however long it takes to build back up is completely up to you.
