We’re reminded that life is fragile today. We’re reminded the power of choice, the choices of others and certainly our own. We hold the power to choose love and grace and kindness, and we hold the power to choose hate and terror and murder as well. We saw this in Norway today, in the unthinkable tragedy there. Our hearts are more than heavy for the people of Norway...
Crazy Talk

There were all these kids running around and splashing in the pool, and while I was not participating in the games, but more so trying to make conversation with the Dartmouth...

hang in there with me
I can’t pinpoint why I thought it was appropriate to share this on the blog, but somehow its a personal thing I think and will help me to alleviate some pain inside me so bear with me for a little bit. It started this morning when my mom left after visiting me for a few days in Vermont, where I’m living, alone, and 2 1/2 hours away from my home in Simsbury. I proceeded to go to...
stoicexorbitance asked: Thank you so much for the "I am wonderful" video. I am about to start a new job and... I was doubting what they saw in me. That video reminded me, and I will listen to it all weekend and start the new job off on the right foot Monday.
Thank you. I was actually real upset about it (even crying) (weirdo, I know...)

What does love mean to you?
Hello, lovies!

Rape survivors are able to submit entries focusing around the main focus point of the site. If you have ANY interest in submitting something, do not hesitate! I have a...

A Nike Ad
You were born a daughter.
You looked up to your mother.
You looked up to your father.
You looked up at everyone.
You wanted to be a princess.
You thought you were a princess.
You wanted to own a horse.
You wanted to be a horse.
You wanted your brother to be a horse.
You wanted…
Listen to me.
You are enough. Despite that horrible, starless black wave of fear and guilt and imperfections that seems to be coming closer to you, inch by inch, you are enough. That wave is a figment of our society’s imagination. In reality, we are all enough.
I’m sick of girls walking around with their arms crossed and hair covering their face in order to hide their bodies. I’m sick of that sting of...
