She don't know where she is,
BUT SHE KNOWS THIS ISN'T HOME.
Love is a hard, hard road.

I wake up craving this cigarette.
YEAH I KNOW THEY'RE NO GOOD FOR ME,
but I can't put 'em down just yet.

you know you've grown up when Christmas is more of a pain in
the butt than something to get excited over.
She's Sunday drive
meets high speed chase;
She ain't just a song,
SHE'S THE WHOLE MIXTAPE.
She's so complicated,
that's the way God made her;
sunshine mixed with
a little hurricane.

my parents don't seem to realise that I have a life separate
from them now.
I don't want to be spending two damn weeks before Christmas at home -
I have plans, damnit! We were going to Carols by Candlelight, going to the beach,
drinking at Emma's, sunbathing on the lawn, going shopping in the city.
My life doesn't revolve around home anymore -
just because I want to go to a single freaking party at home
doesn't mean I want to spend a heap of time there.

I don't know how many On The Jellicoe Road fans there are on
witty, but I wrote a short fanfic and put it on wattpad, if anyone
wants to check it out. It's in Jonah's POV and set between
the fight at the gala and the meet at the scout hall. It does have
mentions of suicide and violence, fair warning.
“I am not Mike Brown. I am white. I am middle class. I am
female. I am small. I am not considered a threat. When police see
me they see someone who looks like them. They see their mothers,
their daughters, their sisters, themselves. I am not at risk of
being shot by police for existing while black. I am not at risk
of being shot while unarmed. I am not at risk of being shot while
armed with nothing more than a BB gun. I am not at risk of being
shot for reaching for my wallet. I am privileged.
But I am outraged. And if you aren’t outraged, then you aren’t paying attention. This is America in 2014. This is our reality. It’s so easy to get jaded and to ignore these atrocities, to act like this doesn’t affect us. It’s so easy to get apathetic. In the past it was the youth who protested. Where is the rage of the youth? Where is our rage?
Like I said, I am not Mike Brown. But I am outraged.”
“I wrote this the week after Mike Brown was shot. I naively thought that this case would be different. That Darren Wilson would be punished, at the very least fired or pressured to resign. I thought that public outcry would mean something. I have never been more angry. I have never been more outraged. I wish I could say I were surprised.”

Supporting books and movies about revolution means nothing if you’re not supporting real-life revolution too.

The Grand Jury has declined to charge Darren Wilson for the death of Mike Brown.
Darren Wilson shot an unarmed 18-year-old SIX TIMES, KILLING HIM, and is not being punished for it.
If this doesn't disgust, horrify and terrify you, please, unfollow me right now.
I don't know what the future holds.
I don't know where I'll be ten years from now;
A YEAR FROM NOW, EVEN.
What I do know is that
IF ALL I EVER HAD WAS THIS MOMENT,
right here with you,
I would never want for anything more.
