Warning: Language (and trauma, and why birth isn't beautiful)
I wrote this up a few months ago, when I was just remembering all of it, and wanting to scream because I’ve always felt that no one really understands or understood my vehement desire to remain childless, or why every time labor or pregnancy (or children, for that matter) come up in a conversation, I…

Spiritual Abuse Awareness Week
Next week I’ll be joining my friend Hännah for spiritual abuse awareness week. I debated between saying that here or just posting for no particular reason, but figured it made more sense to say what was going on so there’d be less confusion and more people could join in if they desired. Next Week, I’m…

Stress Sickness
I’ve been feeling sick – off and on for the last two weeks. The worst days are mondays and I’ve been starting to worry about why I’ve felt so on the verge of catching something, without actually coming down with it. I’ve been able to pinpoint some of the symptoms – headaches and fuzziness largely…

Silence isn't Golden
I’m tired of watching abuse. It happened to me, it happens around me – it’s the reason I can’t run away and escape from my past. The reason I can’t forget, the reason with every core of my being I become so angry that I lose words and start to breakdown. In 2005, 2006, and…

Change
Last year, I wrote about how I felt different on my birthday, because I had finally given myself permission to live. I referred back to that permission throughout the year in different ways, and I think I’ll continue to refer back to it (remembering, that being myself is a life journey, not something accomplished in one…

New Things and Accomplishments
Last year, around this time, I made a list of 21 things I wanted to do (because I turned 21): I’m really proud of myself for getting so much of it done! This year I just put down a lot of things I wanted to do between 2.28.13 and 2.28.14: “old things” are…

Subtle Bohemian [All Dressed up]
NYC Black nail polish, shoes: Newbury Comics (breaking them in for PAX East!), Jeans: Aeropostale, Shirt: walmart find 3 years ago, makeup: Elf brightening/all over color stick, eyeliner, mascara, and “Fantasy” lipstick. You can’t see overly well, but my hair is a funky ponytail that this pin inspired. My hair is a bit too short…

Sea Buckthorn and etc
I took the week off of face stuff last week, and gave my skin a rest. Also, I was tired of poking my eyes so frequently (and I was hoping for the acne to quell). A friend of mine recommended some Sea Buckthorn oil, and while I was at whole foods over the weekend (to find…

[evolve]
I lived in a rigid world with rigid language. Words like evolve and evolution were almost taboo and never spoken except in reference to something bad (or the theory, which was also bad). The act of evolving was treated with disdain when it was obvious. The word fascinates, resonates with me – it always has.…
