“I remember lonely and
what it tasted like before
your name took root in my throat,
before everything reminded me of your mouth.
I don’t know how I lived that way…”

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
- Emily Bronte
The past 24 hours solidified something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart. I am so beyond where I thought I would be and happy can’t even describe this place I’ve found. If this is all I ever have, it is more than enough.
“I’m a new soul. I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit ‘bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake.”-New Soul, Yael Naim

“To reach out to you when I’m in need, and to try to be here for you when you need me back. And to feel such tenderness when I look at you that I want to stand between you and all the world: and yet also to lift you up and carry you above the strong currents of life; and at the same time, I would be glad to stand always like this, at a distance, watching you, the beauty of you.”

The only greatness for a man is immortality.: Rant for the evening
Change starts with us. Taking away the 2nd Amendment won’t do anything. Trying to psychoanalyze potential gun owners won’t do anything (people bullshit their way through those things all the time; the BTK Killer was a church deacon, for example). Violence comes from a violent mindset and will…

All I’ve been doing for the past 6 weeks is laughing until I cry and it’s probably the best feeling ever.
(via latida)
I spent two years planning our lives all out and within 6 weeks it’s been undone.
I’ve never been happier than I am right now and it feels like I’m spiraling out of control in the strangest way.
Remember when I was posting about all my life changes and things I was figuring out? I just threw them out the window. Life can really throw some curve balls and it’s amazing how something I never thought would happen is now hurling itself towards me at an alarming rate.
For the first time in my life I can say God is in complete control and no matter what I am happy.
I’ve realized why being a mother is the most difficult job in the world. You spend all this time falling completely in love with someone, all the while knowing it is your responsibility to make sure they leave you one day.

awesomefuckyeahmotherfucker:allisonrae:majd3st1ny:
Could you live on $8 or $9 dollars an hour? A computer game made by the Urban Ministries of Durham in North Carolina and an advertising firm called McKinney lets you play out life with a low-wage job as a single mom. The objective is to make it a month, juggling getting a job, rent, a place to live, food and coping with the costs of repairs, things for your child, insurance, etc.. Actually a very hard game to play and full of reminders of the difficulties of life on that kind of salary.
Seriously, if you haven’t played before, play it now. If you have played before, play it again. Especially important during this election season.
just playing this game alone made me really stressed and anxious
I’ve lived this. It sucked so much and was so stressful. I was lucky that I had the education and the good economy (at the time) to get out of my situation. Not everyone does.
