some ways i’m made of magic…
i’m passionate & creative… i’m a dancer &
a writer, and i spill out all my feelings into
both of those things.
i’m adventurous & spontaneous…
maybe sometimes a little bit reckless…
but i can also be really brave, and i also

i love being a good friend… i’m supportive

anything. and i love my friends sooo much
and so deeply… like soulmates.
…and i think all of those things make
me kind of magical

the way we’ve just been conditioned our whole lives as girls & women to just accept SA as an almost inevitable thing we’ll experience… it’s overwhelming to even see any consequences… like it feels foreign to even consider a world where SA is just terrible and rare… but imagine, what if we could have that world

there will be a year when your
life falls apart in ways that make you feel like
you’ve never been so lost… but it’s important
that you keep going…
because there is a version of you
waiting on the other side of that journey

they tried to teach me
to be afraid of my dichotomies… to believe
that dynamic girls are “dangerous things.”
but i’ve been learning that some days i will
tend to flowers, and some days i will hold fire,

and “good women” are also free women…
and that will only be a dangerous thing to
the ones who want us to live afraid.
