It's Dom Time

And thats my tumbling for the day. I’m not too sure if I’m diggin it, maybe I should get on it more. I just think of rock cleaning when I say to myself “Oh let’s check out Tumblr, then I’ll polish some rocks in my tumbler for rocks. silly. just plain silly!” 

The U.S. House of Representatives has just voted to bar Planned Parenthood health centers from all federal funding for birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other lifesaving care. 

Your vote was not only against those who seek care at Planned Parenthood health centers, but against every one of us who has ever sought care there, and against every one of us who knows that when we are healthy, when we are in charge of our lives, we thrive.

“Nobody really knows how much anyone else is hurting. We could be standing next to someone who is completely broken and not even know”

I hate that this quote stands out to me and I really hate how I can relate to it. But why do I feel so broken? It’s just me being selfish. I tell myself each and everyday how blessed I am to have the life I have. I have wonderful, loving friends and family who support me and are there for me, no matter what. There are a good chunk of people in this world that have neither. I have a roof over my head and I’m furthering my education. Again, a good number of people around the world do not. So maybe I’m not broken at all, maybe I’m just realizing how much of the ”real world” is real. The pressure is starting. I’m not a child anymore, my mom isn’t here to kiss my owies when I fall. I don’t even have neosporin but I do have my determination and willpower not to crash and go down in flames. I have mt supporters and that is what gets me through everyday. 

Apology (n): a written or spoken expression of one’s regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another. There a numerous different ways one can apologize but how do you define a true apology?

There are changes happening all around us, doesn’t matter the size, it’s still a change. When change occurs it effects more and more throughout time. This time can vary, it can blindside you and everything can crash in 5.2 or for the lucky ones, there is enough time to have a comeback. The Butterfly Effect is a perfect example of what is happening at this point in time. Maybe we could even call it a Domino Effect? No, I like The Butterfly Effect more (not because of Ashton Kutcher). Whatever this “effect” is, it hit hard… Really hard. I really don’t enjoy learning lessons this way, who does? But what can I do? It’s done and over with. I guess I just didn’t realize how much of an impact material items could have on a person. There is just so much damage. But in reality, I guess that was the slap in the face we had to go through in order to find who we keep and who is done. It’s just another obstacle we will conquer and utilize later in our lives. We’re still young, we have a plethora of mistakes to make and learn from. So in the end, did it effect me? Yes, but later when it’s conquered and it’s just a lesson in the book of life, I know I’ll be saying, “What effect?”
