When I was 19, I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in anyway. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home. We had been married one week when he first slapped me. I…

(This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit).
Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.”
Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion…
Personal shit. You don’t even have to bother reading.
I wish I was a soprano.
Then I would have pretty voices like my friends.
Instead, I sound like I’m growling.
There’s a reason there are no alto soloists in musicals or operas. Nobody wants to hear it unless it helps build the chord.
I thought voice lessons would make my range bigger. Instead it made my voice even...

I think someone is hacking me.
I look at my page and it says that I posted something from the “Tumblr Staff Blog” about winning a Starbucks giftcard and a link. It’s obviously spam or a virus and yet it’s saying I posted it when I didn’t. I just went and deleted SEVEN of them that somehow ended up on my page.
WTF is this?

My favorite part is when someone assumes they know everything about what I think from one post.
Like I said, everyone makes mistakes. And it’s okay to make people aware of mistakes. But when the way you make someone aware is by fingerpointing and SWEARING IN ALL CAPS and…

I know people tend to not want to read personal stuff. Especially when it’s not happy.
I’m really not happy. There are things that keep me feeling okay and occupied. The gym helps out with that, too.
But every time I get time to myself I just end up in this funk I can’t break out of.
It’s kind of like yelling underwater. Everyone is right there but nobody can hear...

Having thighs that touch is the best.
It means my thighs love each other enough to want to constantly be together.
Just try to tell me that’s not self love at it’s finest.
this is how I feel right now.

So anxious. I hate when this happens because I just can’t make it stop. I get a tightness in my chest and I get chills that shoot through me and leave my hair standing on end. I know my room is warm but I’m in a sweater under the covers because I can’t get the chills to stop. Maybe showering will help.
I just don’t get me. I’m a pretty bold person with a quick...

The thing about happiness is that it’s not permanent. It’s momentary and fleeting. You can call your life a success if you are happy more than you are sad. But that’s the thing about sadness. It’s like gaining weight you cannot get rid of. You don’t even notice it creeping up on you until your pants don’t fit anymore. That’s sadness. You don’t...

Stayed up until 3:30AM reading "Tricks" by Ellen...
I don’t even know how to function.
This book completely broke my heart. I teared up. I don’t really know how I’m going to sleep.
Basically, it’s about 5 people who ended up in prostitution in Vegas. The things that happen to these teens, all under 18 mind you, make me want to cry and throw up.
And to think that this happens everywhere…
Ugh. Sometimes I just...

Twinkle twinkle little slut Name one guy you haven’t fucked
That is an example of sex shaming Which can lead to rape and victim blaming
So before you are sexist Question why “societal norms” exist

On Dressing "Sexy"
For some unknown reason, everyone on the planet is preoccupied with what women are wearing. They apparently can tell how many partners a woman has by her clothing. When a woman dares to show her body, there is a giant backlash from giant assholes and hand-wringing elders who believe that she should be “respectable” and cover up. This especially comes in to play when the girl is a...

Just created a new blog!
I’m making a blog for body acceptance/ body positive/ self awareness/ inspirational/ yoga so I won’t spam your page as much with it.
Of course I’ll still be here on this one.
Vishuddha is the throat chakra. It is the holder of the voice and expression. Singing and playing an instrument are two ways to open and embrace this chakra.
