A Tale of Two Unconventional Love Stories
Unconventional is defined as, “not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed.” The Hand Maids Tale, an adapted TV series, is a masterpiece that mixes horror, unity in the face of oppression, and unconditional love. The premise is unfathomable for any woman (or man who truly cares about women for that matter) with its audacious concept of women being nothing but incubators and servants to men. The fictionalized world of Gilead forces the viewer to think, “what if?” and places them squarely in the characters shoes.

Tim Rasmussen’s whole project [PopViolence the podcast, which can be found on Instagram, spotify, generally around the internet] makes me happy. The guest on this particular episode, Lindsey Acker makes me even happier! I’m privileged to be living in the same general area at the same time as them. We seem to be drawn to some similar ideas, and I enjoy seeing their posts. I’m simping. This is a brilliant analysis, and as a person that has loved Les Miserables since childhood (there was one month that I watched it almost nightly) I love this lens.

“4-0-0-9”, “4-0-0-9” “Oh, that’s me”, Briana said as she snaps into a range walk into the distant room. “Verify your Last name, date of birth and last 4” Said the Military medic. “Usufruilau, July 29, 1990, 4-0-0-9.”
Ashanti BrownPublished 3 years ago in HumansDating Online for Seniors, What You Haven't Heard
I dislike the term "seniors" I prefer older. I mean when you were young didn't you want to be with the older kids? But the world uses this as a way to describe older or elderly people. I may flip back and forth between the two.
How to keep your Faith
An interesting part about living in the United States is that the separation of church and state makes it easy for people to practice their religious beliefs. I probably shouldn't use the word "easy," what I mean is that the foundation of America was built on the idea of religious freedom. Quakers seeking religious freedom from Catholic rule in Great Britain. However, because we have this separation of church and state, the topic of religion becomes slightly taboo to talk about. We have a government where our officials may follow a set of religious beliefs, but that religion is not how laws and regulations are made. (I'm sure some politicians have found a way to work around this, but that is beyond my comprehension of genius.)

I think one of the most devastating aspects of all human existence is not that in which we are lost, but that in which we are found.

In a year when so much of our misery was a shared experience, it would be much easier to think about all we have lost this year when approaching an end of the year letter. Personally, I think we have suffered enough. I have suffered enough. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of this year, I want to focus on five unexpected gifts this year gave me. After reading my list, I want to challenge you to do the same.

Love becomes complete and fulfilling when you get loved in return. And so is the virtue of giving. Ladies, have you ever thought of setting a special day to appreciate a significant guy in your life? Or perhaps just finding a special way to appreciate them?

Jus L'amorePublished 7 years ago in HumansWhat I Learned From Dyeing My Hair Blue
In July of 2016, I went from brunette to having blue, green, and purple “mermaid hair.” I’d wanted to dye it for a while, but had never followed through on it before. Before I did it, many of the adults around me (that weren’t my friends) kept telling me how much I’d regret it and how drastically it would negatively impact my life. I was told that I’d never get respect, that it’d ruin my hair, that I’d miss my old color too much, that it’s only something delinquent teenagers do, and even that having dyed hair would make me want to “fit in to that crowd,” somehow causing me to do things like drugs and other illegal activities. They were all certain that simply changing my hair color would somehow change who I was.
