In photographs, you looked so confident, more than I’d known you to be, so content to reside in the body to which your soul was assigned. It sort of disturbed me to look at. The way you acted. How no-one knew, no-one wanted or needed to know how much you hated that clumsy and imperfect mess of lanky limbs and knotted hair. So well hidden from prying eyes was your desperate longing to destroy...

Whether you are aware of it or not, you’ve chosen the place you are sitting in, you’ve chosen the emotion you are dwelling in— you are the cultivator of your perspective.

I don’t think we ever really learn anything in this life. We just think we do. Collecting little thoughts and pieces of the things we’re told and holding onto them as if they were fact; not because we are foolish, but we just need something to believe in in a world where nothing is certain. We have such a great capacity for faith, and an enormous, tragic desire compelling us to use it all up.

Do you feel how it is that the sunlight touches you? Letting you bask in the glory of its existence. Do you feel that unconditional nurture nuzzling its way from your flesh into your soul? That is how we should love; breast-bone expanding in the wind, with open arms flailing in a free-fall. Laughing loudly, with our head thrown back, as we dip our face into the atmosphere. So vulnerable, so happy....

I am pulling and pushing against everything—Fighting the natural order of things; nuzzling the atmosphere as I feel darkness weighing me down. Eyes-closed and hesitating from this inevitable suffering, which I must feel through vibrations, and hear in frequencies.
Eyes-closed and hesitating. Fighting the natural order of things. Constantly, constantly pulling and pushing.
What is this...

Jailed Afghan rape victim wins pardon after... →
Because women of Islam, as in Christianity, are objects and possessions to men, therefore a rape victim must marry her rapist or be jailed/shunned.
Your daily reminder that the world can be a terrible place.

5 Corportations I'll Proudly Support →
I suppose many consider these investments unethical or boycott-worthy, but I’m happy to know that I’ve contributed financially to these businesses. It just makes my caramel frappuccino that much more enjoyable.

2012's Resolutions: Challenge Accepted
I’m a tad later than usual with resolutions this year. Surprisingly, I’ve stuck to most of them in the past, so hopefully, the same can be said for 2012.
This year:
I want to adhere to a pescetarian diet. I’ve never been a big chicken or beef eater, but pork (bacon especially) is going to be the biggest obstacle for this goal. Every few years, I experience kidney stones, so...

I don’t want to be another person you make a mess of and let some other bitch clean up, I’m not going to be second rate. Let’s be better than that, you’ve done that enough already, haven’t you? Let’s not do this the way we were taught. Let’s not repeat history. Let’s say what we want to say, let’s do exactly what we want to do, let’s...

More often than not, I am a memory moving from mind to mind. A partial remembered moment caught softly on the edges of sleepless thought. Almost forgotten, almost not there. I’ve been living off of uncertainty, getting full on the feeling of not being found. I like my solitude. I like my soundlessness. I am a skinny, silent beast. Not for your taking. Not for your love. Recently I’ve been moving...

Nobody has ever come up to me to say that I am exceptional, as I was walking down the street. But I have been told by the people who know me that I am destined for great things. I am still waiting for those great things to happen. And if it is true, why can’t I even do as much as to stick out out of the crowd? It is sad, isn’t it, that all everyone wants to do is be exceptional,...

I often wonder if I’m approachable, in no particular manner just approachable. As I’m writing this I’m sitting at a wooden table outside at my campus. Yet, no one comes up to sit at the same table nor even attempts to start a conversation. Funny, there is a kid a few feet away from me sitting by himself doing homework and I’m not going up to him at all. Not because there isn’t any factors about...

People say that the older you get the more you know who you are. But that’s not entirely true. You know well who you are even when you are young, but because other people don’t care for who you are, it’s hard to accept it. It’s just that the older you get the more you learn not to care about whether people care about who you are.

I have been thinking of expectations and pressures and the weight of the opinion of people who supposedly care about you and have your best interest in mind. But I’ve realized that all you owe the people who love you (as opposed to the ones who try to sway you into whatever little role they have assigned for you in their own universe for the sake of their peace of mind), all you need to do...
