love is cursed...by monogamy.
what good is love…that no one shares if my life is like the dust that hides the glow of a rose
what good am I
Heaven only knows. but while a voice within me cries I know heaven will answer my call
and this bitter earth
…………………..may not be so bitter after all.

“When I moved to Canada at the age of 23, and was forced to experience Universal Health Care and found that it was actually a good thing for pretty much every person I came in contact with, I began to question what else I had been told could be misinformation. Even the very conservative people I came in contact with in Canada were happy with their Universal Health Care. In Canada large secluded...
“Rick Perry is not alone. Ever since the Supreme Court allowed states to opt out of the law’s expansion of Medicaid without forfeiting all their Medicaid funding, at least five other Republican governors — led by Tea Party darlings like South Carolina’s Nikki Haley, Florida’s Rick Scott and Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal — have summarily refused to implement the expansion on the grounds that their...
it’s not what you did. and it’s everything you didn’t.
“If you are a so-called job creator in the country, even if the jobs you create are in India or China, you are legally entitled to wonderful things like offshore tax havens…or $77,000 in business deductions for dressage horse competition expenses. Yeah $77,000 tax break to send your horse to the fucking prom. Here’s what Romney doesn’t get. Nobody cares that Mitt Romney is rich. It’s Romney’s...
There is a difference between a condition and a problem. We put up with all manner of conditions everyday: bad weather, unavoidable & untreatable illnesses, pestilence, poverty, fanaticism. As one lobbyist said, “If you have only four fingers on one hand, that’s not a problem; that’s a situation.” conditions become defined as problems when we come to believe that we...
I could never be that girl who depends on others for anything. I make my own money, I provide for my own needs, I inform and educate myself.
When I want something, I get it. I ask no one. My life…my choices. I will never be that girl who has to answer to anyone or ask for anything.
Wanting someone and needing someone are two very different things. I am my own person…with my own mind...
How is it even possible to be so well put together on the outside…but completely falling apart on the inside?
I hate it.
common sense—the affordable care act.
I have no idea what message the U.S. Constitution really wanted to relay to the American people about health insurance –and, honestly, I don’t think any Constitutional scholar, President, or other Political figure knows either. The fact is, there was no health insurance when the Constitution was written…and you can’t defend something that is non existent or was never there. So, my best...
“In one sense, at least, it’s a game of equals; by broad consensus, the two most enigmatic phenomena around are human consciousness and the origins of the universe. The balance between them, between our curiosity and the universe’s mystery, is in every sense, a fine one.”—Kathryn Schultz

I live here. I breathe with these lungs. I feel with these fingers. I hug with these arms, I kiss with these lips, I think with this brain.
But when I was 18 years old, my body became not my own. Someone I had never met from a place I had never been to…that unfamiliar person took my body…my thoughts…my actions…my feelings…it took them from me….and ever since...

Every time I leave class, I leave so inspired…so motivated. It makes me realize how minimal my “problems” are & how massive my actions can be. How amazing is it that we have the potential to effect others? To be the solution, to be the counterpoint that emphasizes & highlights what is good & positive in this world. Problems are not problems, but they are our...
Creating an entirely different system, no matter how difficult and visionary it may seem, is a more realistic alternative than a head-in-the-sand view that refuses to recognize the incompatibility between unlimited capital accumulation and limited resources, or that denies capitalism’s connection to social and ecological exploitation. Extracting the influence & control of capitalism from the...

The intensity, depth, and substance to your lies concern me. It worries me…it makes me doubt the human race.
It perplexes me. I am confused. I am confused as to how a person can intentionally treat another person so brutally—how the words that come from your mouth leak through the cracks of my fingers like water cusped in my hands. Is this really how we as a society..as people...

"Einstein on the Beach"--Phillip Glass
Two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching each other, holding hands in the moonlight.
There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so they sat in silence, on a park bench, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.
Finally she spoke. “Do you love me, John ?” she asked....
The only thing I regret is sticking around so long...
Denial isn’t a long term strategy—it’s a river in Egypt.

“I’m against having emotions. Not against using them.”
The rest of your life is a long time…and whether you know it or not it’s being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, bad luck or bad choices…
…Or you can fight back. Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give.
I used to have so much more respect for myself…and then life happened.
And then I don’t know what the fuck happened. 😒😔
