my witness is the empty sky

Alicia Sean. 19. Queer. Feminist. Atlanta. Taken.
Psychology and Women's Studies Major at Georgia State University.

I live for music, laughter, knowledge, love. I am who I am and I do what I want--and frankly my dears, I just don't give a fuck.

the blog I dedicated to my beautiful girl.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-Jack Kerouac.

"I am a forest and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness will find banks full of roses under my cypresses."
-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

DREW: Ellen has such a beautiful body, and I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can’t wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn’t send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I’m more comfortable in clothes than ever.ELLEN: That openness. It’s so sexy. DREW: She was in her freaking bra with an open jacket and hot-pink shorts, skating around the rink with red lips and—ELLEN: I was having a really good time. DREW: And she was sexy as a mother—a feral creature. It was great. And it’s so screwed up for girls to think, Oh, because I don’t have that cookie-cutter model body, it must mean I don’t have the right body shape. And I love model bodies, but I just want women to embrace several body shapes. That’s the thing I love about derby. It’s really welcoming.
