Today I went bike riding in our open space a few blocks away. Nothing can wake me up better than a nice bike ride. Today it was "A beautiful day in the neighborhood" as Mr. Rogers described. The cool morning air rushes through my nostrils while my hair is whipped back and forth. through all of this a sense of serenity escapes me and I feel very content. If my dog Maizy is by me, it makes the experience all the more better. I hope that sometimes you indulge in the joys of early morning sunshine because it is a marvelous way to wake up.
Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends
"The cool morning air rushes through my nostrils". That makes me laugh!Keep up the fantastic work Hannah!
