A never-ending river of red, hooray! /sarcasm


So much this!!

We’re not all built the same and it’s just as true when it comes to careers and interests. Some of us are specialists who only want to focus on one thing, others love many things and work best when embracing it all. Yet the world believes we all can only do one thing as a career and that’s that.

How about a big fat NOPE.

Emilie Wapnick is bang-on about multipotentialites and how YES it’s ok to want to do more than one thing, that YES it’s normal, and that the world DOES need to recognize and accept that multipotentialites are necessary for the world to work wonders.

Please watch and share! This. A thousand times this.

Everyone has experienced learned helplessness, the feeling that you can’t do it on your own, that you need someone else to get you where you want and need to be. Most people feel this way. It’s hard not to with the way our world works nowadays, where it’s “all about who you know,” your relationships, and your “connections.” But after watching this, it made me realize that people are going about it the wrong way.


I stopped telling myself that I’m lost.
I’m not.
I’m on a road with no destination, I’m just driving with hope that I’ll find a place I like and I’ll stay there.
I’m not lost, I’m on my way.

More often than not a message isn’t understood unless the context is changed. Whether that be from ignorance, misunderstandings or sheer stubbornness, it’s an unfortunate truth that most will simply shrug something off rather than understand it.

It’s videos like this one that make the unfair and ridiculous approach toward rape victims truly apparent. We don’t see robbery victims treated this way, and while they do feel violated and experience something (their stuff) lost, it can never compare to the aftermath of a rape, of being physically violated, of losing a part of yourself (dignity, the unfortunate truth that even as a victim you will lose respect because idiots believe the rape is your fault).

This video makes you feel incredibly frustrated for the victim because they had some of their stuff stolen when someone invaded their space WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. That’s just from a TV being taken, now imagine how you’d feel after someone steals your sex when they invade your body WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.


So a big bravo to Cynthia Kao who wrote, directed, and edited this video that will hopefully smack some sense and reality into those who think rape shouldn’t be taken seriously.
