consciousness
it appears oftentimes the people who are the most pained are the ones who think more about their lives and the significance of each event.
you see, everyone has problems, but so many close themselves off to the reality of the problem. i think it might be because it’s too much to process, so people just blow it off and leave in their subconscious to fester and manifest in unhealthier ways....

a child's trouble: condescension
i really am so frustrated by adults who take respect for granted and think it only goes one way- to them. it kills me how much she needs to be in control to feel safe. it kills me how they think i’m being cutely presumptuous when i do or say anything that…really makes sense. they think it’s funny that i’m “trying to be mature” when it’s just what makes...

“The military is full of poor people, and people of color. Now it gets to be full of queer...

i LOVE this article!
a summary in quotes from the article:
“The wars in Darfur and Somalia and between northern and southern Sudan all have roots in tribal competition for land and livestock.

the snowball effect DISPROVED
i usually don’t like talking about school or my…life…i don’ know… but anyways:
it all started with the C i got on the last test of the year in 5th grade. It was a fluke. Of course. I brushed off the teacher’s “deep disappointment” in me and moved on.
And then came 6th grade. I kept getting Bs and the occasional C. and 7th, when it was Cs with the...

“All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury
No one in the class could remember a time when there wasn’t rain.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
“Now?”
“Soon.”
“Do the scientists really know? Will it happen today, will it?”
“Look, look; see for yourself!”
The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds, intermixed, peering out for a look at the hidden sun.
