“From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn.”
“From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn.”
I am followed by my shadow,
Narrow reflections of my being
A past that hides in pictures
Trying to mask the light in my eyes
But if it stays put
Behind my back
And out of my way
Then my shadow can stay
I’m not looking back
I won’t bow to darkness
When I can stand in light
Smiling bright.
Second day curry - chickpeas, green beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, and spinach sauteed in a bit of olive oil, seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, garam masala, hot curry powder, vindaloo powder, oregano, and cumin. Mixed with basmati rice. Here served with with corn chips and cream cheese.
One pot. That’s all it took ladies and gentlemen. That’s all.
What I see when I wake up in my new apartment :)
“It’s what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away than embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it’s been a long time coming”
lovesarahth asked: I just learned about micro-finance and I love it. And I love you for being one of the most inspiring people in my generation. This career goal (gender equality and social justice are also bitchin) sounds amazing beyond words. <3
D’aww :) Thank you Sarah! :D I just can’t wait to actually get started impacting positive change!
Ever since I was little, I was told that the jobs my generation will make careers of do not yet exist. Given that I am far from technologically focused or scientifically gifted, I took this statement with a shrug of the shoulder and a smirk. Perhaps the details would be left to iron out, I thought, but I doubt my career path will be strikingly different from the careers open today.
I now find that I am only half correct. The career that I currently want to give my life to exists. Paths to access it as undergraduate or even young professional, on the other hand, do not. I want to use economic incentives and funding (micro-finance) in order to aid in eliminating poverty and gender inequality. There are many websites and programs that allow me to donate to different causes or efforts involved in the larger micro-finance industry, but there are few avenues to pursue internships or work, especially for someone of my age.
But hey, passions are worth fighting for. And for the first time in my adult(ish) life, I believe I know I want to do with my life. So I’m not giving this up easily.
This post also exists not only to declare my hopeful goal but also to note to those who read blog (all four of you, obviously :P) that there’s going to be an increase in posts relating to these topics. Hope you can handle it. Feel free to ask questions or message me links relating to micro-finance, gender equality, and social justice.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING. JUST KEEP SWIMMING. KEEP GOING AND EXAM WEEK WILL BE OVER. GO GO GO.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve been searching for word all my life. That’s how long I look at the screen, forgetting to type. I just can’t find it somewhere, those syllables, that taste. Everything I think of, just seems a waste. Without that word I can’t go on. Without the specific whisper I just wait.
From one great city to another.
