Female "Purity" is Bullshit
“A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly:
‘Women, stop sexualizing yourselves; that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.’
The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening and so, therefore, sluttiness must equal disposability.”
“Why are we all so lost?”
It’s a question which stung when one of my closest friends posed it the last time we spoke to each other, speaking of course about our entire generation. She didn’t ask me the question, but begged me to answer it, knowing hopelessly that I would never be able to.
"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it; a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can."

Homecoming 2.0: Story of a Baptism
I hope I never forget the first time I stepped into the Pacific Ocean. I often claim that there are moments in my life I will never forget, but my longing to keep the memory close is just as much a victim to time as anything else. I can’t swear to you who I will be or what I will know in five or ten years. All I can tell you now is that right now, I have a great pull in my heart towards this memory and a physically weighing desire to keep pulling it toward me until I die.

Exactly.
going going back back to cali cali (at California/Arizona Border)
As most people who will be watching this will already know, a week from today I am moving from Austin to LA, which is a big change for me because I have spent my whole life in central Texas and everything I know is here. As I leave behind everyone who made me who I am during my time here, I wanted to let my friends and family know that even though we may be worlds apart, there is no distance in between our love!
