I'm still alive. Surprise! I've been so busy at school, trying to get my senior thesis proposal up to snuff. Getting there...I hope!

Communication

Back in the day, I couldn't do it; communication was as hard for me then as censoring myself is now. Where even finding the words to express feelings was a feat in itself. There's a word for this: Alexithymia... sounds like an eating disorder. But anyhow, through years of (really shitty) perseverance, I figured it out - and got significantly better at flirting in the process. I never really realized how incredibly important good communication is, until recently. Expressing your desires to those who have the power to bring them to fruition is critical.  Rarely do we get what we want without expressing that desire in the first place. Ask for it, work for it, take it. Being docile keeps you where you are, moving slowly, if not completely stagnant. 

 I got these tattoos to remind me of the aforementioned facts. And to all who are reading, know that you are in control of your fate, take everything into our own hands and do not expect anything to be given at random. Make your demands known, and stick to them. Don't back down for fear of antagonists, they exist everywhere and if they aren't fought, they win. Go forth, and use the voice you have before the smoker's cough takes over completely.

See where I get it from?

Lies lies lies, oh, lies.
