Anxious times.

  1. I kind of want to go to the zoo by myself, but people would look at me weird since I talk to the animals…

  2. Existential Indigenous student academic crisis.

  3. NDN Problem: When you write a paper on things that happen to your community and you get triggered by it.

  4. Today was day two at the TRC. It was amazing and emotional. I have a lot of new insight and realizations.

    I was also presented something from residential school survivor who I had the pleasure of interviewing. I was honored and speechless.

    She is one of the most kind, understanding and beautiful people I have ever met.

    I may write more on this in the near future, still letting everything sink in.

    I wish my nohkom were here with me to witness everything but she’s definitely looking down on me and I hope she’s proud.

  7. "Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise."
    Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye (via faerielandsforlorn)

    F**k Yeah Anxiety Disorders of the Day: Catalina Ferro delivers a hilarious ode to the anguish of anxiety at the NYC Urbana Poetry Slam back in June — her Anxiety Group is intensely funny, and probably hits home for way more than are willing to admit it.

    (Not Safe For Work — language.)

    GPOY, me. 

    It’s funny because my doctor IS weening me off of klonopin and I was in an anxiety group.

    I would rather be with anxious people. I love this.

    Bill of Rights for Racially Mixed People
    By Maria P.P. Root


    I HAVE THE RIGHT…

    -Not to justify my existence in this world. 
    -Not to keep the races separate within me. 
    -Not to be responsible for people’s discomfort with my physical ambiguity. 
    -Not to justify my ethnic legitimacy.



    I HAVE THE RIGHT…

    -To identify myself differently than strangers expect me to identify.
    -To identify myself differently from how my parents identify me.
    -To identify myself differently from my brothers and sisters.
    -To identify myself differently in different situations.



    I HAVE THE RIGHT…

    -To create a vocabulary to communicate about being multiracial.
    -To change my identity over my lifetime — and more than once.
    -To have loyalties and identification with more than one group of people.
    -To freely choose whom I befriend and love
