And you’re sitting there in your car, waiting them to cross so you can drive through.. You suddenly scream.. or at least think in your head..
"Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you? …I always wonder about that. If people could see me the way I see myself— if they could live in my memories— would anyone love me? "
Misogyny in the U.S. = a national pandemic.

Sexual violence is a pervasive public health problem in the United States. In December 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. Throughout the country, headlines of local and national papers described that rape is more common than previously thought.
Today an article published in on Significance Magazine’s web site, a publication of the American Statistical Association and Royal Statistical Society, compared these rates to those of smoking – 18.3% of women over 18 reported being sexual assaulted in their lifetime while 17.4% of women reported smoking. Let consider this as we set health priorities.

So today I told my brother I wasn’t going to let him use my laptop and he swore he would get me back. An hour later I realized he was missing but I didn’t care and then the doorbell rang and I went to see who it was and here he was…

You fixed my Sony eReader, the beloved thing I broke and still can’t get over even though I’ve got my nifty Kindle. You’ve been asking me a lot about it since last month & I’ve always put it down to curiosity (and your techie nature). Little did I know that you ordered a screen before you left for Myanmar. It took forever for the screen to get here (thank you, Philippine postal system, for the constant lessons in patience) but you waited.
It wasn’t that you bought a screen (and I know you probably spent a lot, no matter how much you deny it), but that you fixed a favorite thing so I could have it once again. I’m sentimental and you know it. :) The heartfelt gesture of taking the time to figure out how to disassemble the unit and install the new parts, getting a scrape on your hand along the way, was touching. And impressive. You brilliant genius you. The quiet way you went about asking for my favorite colors, and designing the reader was sweet. Then you tried to customize my sleep mode screen to make a joke about my reading preference and that was just adorable. (“This got broken because the romance books you’ve been reading.”… Oh well, let me have my guilty pleasure. Please :D)
This is better than a romantic dinner, a cute movie afterward, bouquets of flowers and any kind of jewelry - all rolled into one. Be still, my book-loving moonstruck heart.
