An Old Me.

clinical depression, an interracial engagement, feminism, general weirdness, and staying fabulous, or at the very least, functional, in this world. part manifesto / commentary, part social coping project to generate inspiration and positivity!

why don't you live?

my advice to you:
  • count to discover if your menstrual cycle is exactly 28 days long or not. mine is!
  • paint your nails a garish red.
  • next time you get sick, take an effective dosage of grape-flavored kiddie Tylenol instead of  an adult medicine.
  • turn one of your zits into a mole with an eyeliner.
  • close your door and play some good, ole 90s grunge rock very softly.
  • shave your legs with a very sharp razor and go to bed with brand new sheets.
  • make coffee at midnight.
  • quote poets and writers in your Tweets.
  • wear lavender mascara and count how many special people notice.
  • greet a beautiful person in French.
  • quit smoking!
  • wear your hair in a beehive or bouffant.
  • drink more water [through a pink straw].
  • learn a song by the Jive Bombers and sing it in your idle time.
  • tell yourself to not give a shit what people think and then really don't.
  • go to bed in nothing but your favorite perfume and some lipstick.
  • take a bunch of vanity shots of yourself smiling [even if you have a crappy camera] because no one else is as unique and as fabulous as you are at this moment and the world needs proof. bonus points if you link a photo in a comment!
  • talk to yourself more often and call yourself Baby. you should always be your own significant other first.
  • wear one of your best friend's clothing items.
  • wake up and tell yourself that something good will happen to you that day. it will, i promise! try it.
  • go forth and be "violently happy."
him either grabbing my boobs or telling a bad joke.
