We March Because

With all of the protests going on around you, you might be asking why?

We are the feminazi’s right? We marched, we are un-ladylike. we are loud and unapologetically so. With so many people against the women’s march, you might be thinking, why did we march?

We marched because of the doctors that refuse women safe healthcare.

We marched because out president has been accused of sexual assault, yet was still allowed to run for office.

We marched because one in 4 women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime and thats only the statistics we know about because so many women don’t feel safe reporting it.

We marched because of Brock Turner.

We marched because whether you agree with abortion or not, that should be your choice and not the men in congress who don’t know you.

We marched because of the women who are slut shamed by men and the women on the sidelines who accept this as okay behavior.

We marched because you should never feel powerless.

We marched because you have the right to say yes or no whenever YOU please.

We marched because underwear that prevents sexual assault is a thing.

We marched because of the countless women who have benefitted from plan parenthood.

We marched because our vice president thinks you can electrocute gay people into being straight.

We marched because many members of congress believe that abortion should be banned with no mercy of those who are victims of rape of incest.

We march because because most people wont let you have control over your body until someone has already taken that away.

Lastly, we marched for you.

We marched because you deserve to choose.

Choose a house, choose your doctor, choose your medical treatment, choose your job, choose if you want a partner or not and who that partner is.

Just like the countless women before us, whether you wanted it or not, we marched for you.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
