"I think privacy is the last true luxury. To be able to live your life as you choose without having everyone comment on it or know about it." — Valerie Plame
When you’re in tune with your soul, compliments on your appearance don’t really do much for you. Completely egoless, but that’s stating the obvious. I’d rather be recognized for the content of my soul, how my mind works, how I love, how I treat people, that’s what matters.

PEOPLE don't get periods. Women do.
PEOPLE don't get pregnant. Women do.
PEOPLE don't breastfeed. Women do.

I'm sick of seeing my sex erased & trivialized to accommodate everyone else.
hard pills to swallow:
- if they wanted to, they would
- timing won’t always be in your favour
- sometimes you’re wrong
- not everyone has the same heart as you
- no response is a response
- not everyone wants what’s best for you
- evil eye is real
Affirm:
I change who I am first and watch how everything in my life changes for the better. It all starts with me. How I think, how I feel about myself, and how I use my time. Taking responsibility for my action and behavior only helps me become the best that I can be.
There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?
