The Next JourneyI was 16 in January 2011 when I first began this blog. It was a different time. At the time, I needed this space to write, to figure out my feelings, and to share. The extent of how much I could share and how much I wanted to share were always in conflict. For those of you who have been here since the start, you may remember the vague and metaphorical, even allegorical, substance of my posts. My journal here has documented the rise and fall of love, pain, recovery, and finally renewal.
Here in 2017, my head and my heart are in a much different place than when I began this. I feel better than I have in years — better than I thought was possible back in 2011. Now, I am entering a new phase of life, and it is time for me to move forward.
I have enjoyed my time here. This platform has been what I needed — it has allowed my to journal with some privacy as I have figured out my life. Yet, while blogging primarily for myself, I have always kept in mind the intended and the unknown audiences, particularly in terms of the good and bad that can come with them. What I no longer need is that audience, here.
It was always my intention to keep this blog alive, but to step back when it was time to leave. Now, it is time. This train has reached reached the end of its journey, and the next one is departing.
Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey. I can still be reached by message, and upon request I can provide my Twitter.

u can say menstruation does not define womanhood without going back to the intensely patriarchal & misogynistic rhetoric of “eww periods are nasty and should be hidden away and never spoken about” that harms women literally all over the world. not all women have periods but menstruation stigma is blatantly rooted in misogyny
How do “not all woman” have periods?
I know you made that comment in a blatant attempt to bait people into arguing with you about trans women but.
Have you ever been so invested in being transphobic that you completely forget about post-menopausal cis women . Cis women with PCOS or hormonal disorders that stop their periods. Cis women who have had medical issues and had their uteruses removed or do not menstruate because of medical issues. The list goes on and on. I guess they’re not women either
terfs accidentally confirming me as nonbinary bc i have endo and take a pill that stops my period, nice one

After the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, many
Civil War soldiers’ lives were saved by a
phenomenon called ‘Angel’s Glow.’ The
soldiers, who lay in the mud for two rainy
days, had wounds that began to glow in
the dark and heal unusually fast. In 2001,
2 teens won an international science fair
by discovering the soldiers had been so
cold that their bodies created the perfect
conditions for growing a bioluminescent
bacteria, which ultimately destroyed the
bad bacteria that could’ve killed them. Source Source 2 Source 3
wtf life is cool
that’s so incredibly specific, what luck!

Not a single list online is important enough for me to deal with if it’s a slideshow instead of a scroll list
