I love this part :3 One day I’m going to set some lanterns to the sky.

Sometimes things don’t work out the way you plan. One moment you can be chasing down a dream that you once had years ago only to be woken up by something real. That’s the way I feel in this relationship. I mean, it’s not perfect, but we work it out. And now, it’s been two years and so many days and I still feel the blush on my face sometimes. It must be something right? I look into the future and see where my life is heading, and I hope that you’ll be there with me through it as well. I can’t bare the thought of losing what we worked so hard to achieve - a harmony and synchronicity. I can’t bare the thought of being without you. Thus, I cast thoughts away of anything that might happen, and hold onto today for as long as I can. Whatever the future may bring, I’m certain that we can get through it together. And if not, I’ll go down fighting for what we believe in.

I hate shopping during the holidays. I feel like I should make a vblog about this one day, but just in case I forget, let me write down a list of why I hate holiday shopping [with my mother].
- Why are there so many Asian people at the mall on a Wednesday? I know the economy was bad, but shit. Shouldn’t you guys be at home or trying to find a job?
- Why don’t people understand personal space? Lady behind me swinging your handbag to hit my back and screaming like we’re in the middle of a rain forest at your kids, you are lucky I have self control otherwise I would have turned around and slapped you.
- I hate being a line placeholder. I think the whole line was full of kids holding a place in line for their mothers. I hate it when the line starts moving and my mother is nowhere to be found. What if I reach the front of the line and they call me but you’re not here yet? Man that is terrifying.
- I hate the parking lot. It is chaos.

Well that’s all I can think of right now. :3

Have you ever had those moments where you wanted something so bad that you were willing to fight to get it and then in the end, you find out the fight isn’t worth it even though you still want to keep fighting? It’s quite strange really. Now I feel as though I can’t continue to act like myself fully. And now I feel like nothing is motivating. Why should I do this if it’s going to get criticized? Why should I do this if it is going to be contested? Why should I do this at all?

Right now I’m singing at the top of my lungs,
With not a single care in the world
And it feels right to me.

You! Yes you! You might not be aware of it, but something is happening. There are forces out there that want to take away your voter registration ability by tactics used in order to keep African Americans away from the polls during Jim Crow. The youtube video, whether you watched it or not, is about a kid who is going to get his voter id with his mom. He needs to provide his bank statement, which the mom comments is infringing on her privacy. Since when did you need to have a bank statement, and show some activity to vote? Well apparently now you do in Wisconsin. Though the kid does get his voter id, this video poses many questions. What about the homeless population who are not in shelters? What about the people who are eligible to vote but cannot because they don’t have a driver’s license? Will this stand up in court?

There are people who want to restrict students’ rights to vote to. I have not developed much information on this issue, but you know, just be aware.
