Bootstraps. Pull yourself up by them!
Unless you are barefoot and pregnant….and that was YOUR decision. Fu*king breeders!
Just kidding. I get tired of feeling like I have to explain my clients or enlighten people on oppression and poverty and every other ism that exists in my world (your world too, just FYI). I digress.
When I started out down the social work path, I was very vigilant and ready to educate the masses; I was excited to understand the criminal justice population I had previously been working with in another light. I wanted to fix the world, change society.
Now I just want to help individuals. I am sure that is why nothing changes and if it does it is a very slow painful process….because all our passion gets sucked out and replaced by not apathy but sheer exhaustion. Or we feel liuke we did something by liking something on Facebook or blogging about it or signing a dumb ass petition on change dot org….
You can’t fix ______________ so you just try to negate the damage.
It’s sad, but it is what it is.
I read this today and thought it was a nice look into the lives of the people some of you are blaming and bitching about.

I hope Daniel reads this.
I really have been neglecting my blog….out living life and being in love and junk…… but I do think of you often…. my readers 😉 But I wanted to share this with you as I was salvaging my poor dying computer’s data onto a gigantic TB external hard drive…..
I am also doing this thankfulness thing on Facebook….And my November 2nd thankfulness? I am thankful for love and Damon.
Proof that things can be created with thought…especially when working with powerful people… Cody and Alanna helped on this…. and the list below? I wrote that in February/March and lo and behold…. come July BAM. Got it.
I only ever wanted to fall asleep smiling.
 Sleeping while smiling
a most admirable feat,
Seen by another
Â
Smiling in ones sleep
One of many things we know,
Only through others.
Â
secrets shared between
lucid dreams and reverie
trust as a real verb
Â
When vulnerable,
we allow our hearts to bloom;
a midnight blossom.
Â
Jasmine in moonlight
a slow growing southern treat
winter can unfurl
Â
Better to be still
held in memory, a smile
Viewed when you need it
Â
The warmth of winter
radiating from the south,
waiting to enfold.
Â
bleak the path becomes
when we expect summer heat
yet feel bitter cold
Â
The role of the muse
is to inspire the passions
myriad, though they may be.
Â
Don’t expect summer.
Rather, be the source of heat:
radiant and true.
The list of traits I require:
