"Through the perfect joy
and the heart crippling ache
life’s always worth it."

fuck yeah sex education: Bisexuality vs Pansexuality: Definitions
I don’t think the sexuality of the person you’re attracted to makes a difference. I mean gay people aren’t exclusively attracted to other gay people of corresponding gender (straight crushes, sigh).
It’s more a way of identifying that acknowledges that for…
That Weird Asian Girl.: Asians are people of color, and we too have struggles.
It upsets me when people forget that Asians have had a nasty history in this country and think that we have it all grand and dandy.
White people did not want any of us in this country for a long time (see: Chinese Exclusion Act), and any recognition of our culture comes in the…

Silence
مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ ..
فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَام .. !
وما أجمل أنْ تضحك
فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْ ..!How beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.

"Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final."

So please, join us.

Trust Me - Janis Joplin
This song has been stuck in my head all day.
It’s currently snowing outside with a very cool and slow breeze. The sky is dark and cloudy, with just speckles of glowing yellow bulbs throughout the landscape, indicating where the streets run. And then…This eternal blackness where Lake Michigan begins. It’s a wonderful contrast.
So, Janis’ voice will serve as the soundtrack to my evening. I hope she can serenade you for part of your evening, too.
Sometimes I am sitting at home and watching people I know suffer, and I think I need to suffer too. I sit in front of my computer very quietly and very still and try not to enjoy anything too much. I try not to get anything done; if they can’t, then I won’t. I try to share the suffering. I want to be sad with them as if that was a type of empathy they would appreciate, or even know about. As if they could feel a bit of their suffering alleviated as I take it on.
This, of course, is an act of futility. The best way I can help those people I know who are suffering is to let them know I’m here for them, or, if that wouldn’t be quite right, then I should continue doing whatever it was that drew us together in the first place.
Stop sitting quietly. Stop being still.
Sometimes the only way to try and understand how someone is feeling is to mirror their emotion, and then figure out how to respond to them appropriately. Sometimes that response is just to sit with each other in silence, being there.
These words.
