We are Silent 2015

Today I am silent to represent those who do not have a voice. I am silent for the person who is bullied, (105 people will kill themselves today in the US alone.)  I am silent for those who cannot marry whom they love (13 states to go.) I am silent for the 56 billion animals slaughtered every year. I am silent for the hungry (1 in 6 people in America face hunger.) I am silent for the modern day slaves, and those in horrid working conditions like sweatshops, (15% of the world’s children are engaged in child labor.) I am silent for those who don’t have access to an education, clean water, sanitation, or health care. I am silent for the women who are child brides, work in the sex trade, and get paid less than their male counterparts. I am silent for the environment and the damage humans have caused upon our beautiful planet. I am silent for the injustices served each and every day. I am silent because they are silenced.
We can change these statistics. We can change the world.

The point of this exercise is to encourage the world to be kinder, compassionate, and empathetic. These practices can do a whole lot of good. So smile at that stranger, have meatless mondays, donate to a charity, and put yourself in their shoes. Many small things make a big difference.

(Stats from varies sources. Thanks google:)

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

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
