I Hate To Do What I'm Told,

I Have No Control Over What People Think Of Me But I Have 100% Control Of What I Think Of Myself.

For Me The Greatest Revenge Of All Is Having A Happy Adulthood, Waking Up In My Gorgeous Turquoise Bedroom In The Morning Beside A Person Who Really Inspires Me. That's The Best Revenge A Girl-loving-girl From The Bible Belt Could Possibly Have. And, Importantly, It's Healthy.

I'm Passionate About Color. My Best Friend And I Sit And Look At Pantone Books For Fun.

I Believe I Owe All The Best Parts Of My Adulthood To Embracing My Imperfections And Showcasing Them.

Barack Obama Was Amazing, But He Wasn't Perfect. We All Know That. He Was The Closest Thing To Perfect America's Ever Had. We Were Basking In The Glow. We Forgot That There's Always Going To Be A Backlash Within A Movement Every Time. When I Think About Race, There Were A Lot Of Pockets Of People That Were Still Living In Fear Under The Obama Administration, But We Were In This Blissful Celebration Mode. Now We Are Constantly Reminded That, Although There Are Lots Of Good People In The World, There Are Just As Many Horrible People.
