About Me

i work fulltime for the nonprofit To Write Love On Her Arms. i was just in INDIA and VIENNA for 2 weeks and will be in AUSTRALIA for 3 weeks in April. i love my life.

To Write Love on Her Arms is a story and the response to a story. It began with Renee's story and the commitment to meeting her needs. Her story started a fire, and that fire is a movement of love, a commitment to begin answering these needs and offering hope to the many who struggle with cutting/self-mutilation, depression, addiction, and suicide.

To be a woman who would "have truth at any price"

Brothers.

That's My Thad

My Interests

Love. Freedom. Alternate Endings.

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india thank you terror thank you disillusionment thank you frailty thank you consequence thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india thank you terror thank you disillusionment thank you frailty thank you consequence thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it
was the moment I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india thank you providence thank you disillusionment thank you nothingness thank you clarity thank you thank you silence
- how bout this song finally making perfect sense.
