There are days where I feel that the life we lead is pointless… Whatever you do is just another way to die.
There are days when the human condition deplores me to an extent that I don’t think we even deserve to survive.
Then there are days when I am touched by a glance or smile from a stranger, and I glimpse that thin thread that whispers “we are all connected”.
Those are the days that keep me alive.

#Verbal diarrhoea
Give your children words, about themselves, and their body. Naming is powerful. Teach them that they have a right to their body, that no one, not even you, own them, or have rights to their body. That they always and forever belong to themselves, always. Teach them what bodies do. Yes, even at a young age. I promise you, keeping kids in the dark will not stop sexual exploration. It will not magically make them innocent. It will just make them alone in the dark.
somaticstrength. Your innocence will not save you: conservative Christianity and childhood sexual abuse. Trigger warning: childhood sexual violence/abuse. (via feminismduh

1. I never sneeze less than 3 times in a row.
2. When I was home, I loved rain. Now I hate it.
3. When I was home, I hated the sun. Now I love it.
4. I am in a constant state of conflict over the length of my hair.
5. I am an open book. Or am I?
6. I pretend to be shallow so people don’t expect too much of me. I think that needs to change.
7. I’ve never had problems with my self esteem. I just knew exactly how much I had in the bank and that was it.
8. I miss being a student, I miss high school, but I would never go back.
9. For about 5 years my life was dedicated to music and performing, I miss it.
10. I am a geek, and proud of it.
11. My name is Amelia, and I am a MAC-a-holic.
12. I am a optimistic-realist / backyard elitist cum vain-friendly-approachable bitch. I am an oxymoron.
13. My favourite colour of the day is purple. That might change tomorrow.
14. I have a slight case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The presentation of some things just bug me and I have to change it or not look at it. This does not include the present state of my room :D
15. I tear the edges of newspaper while I’m reading it. Its an odd complusion.
16. I think everybody is better than me in some way.
17. Even though my choices or the words I say indicate otherwise, I am not anti-establishment. I am pro-government.
18. I have been careless with my heart and jumped into relationships. I thought I learned my lesson but I never really do. Its the sole reason why I am the way I am.
19. I still believe in love.
20. My best friends are scattered all around the world. KL, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada… but we are still tight, and always will be.
Circa January 2009.
See #4? That’s going to be rectified today. That’s right. I’m getting a HAIRCUT!
