Adorable new bag came to Yellowstone in the mail today!!!f I was so excited when I ordered it from one of my favorite bloggers (elizabeth-antoinette.tumblr.com) and even more excited when it actually came! It’s knit by hand by her and is completely vegan! She’s such an inspiration! check out her tumblr, her blog, and her etsy shop; you’ll be glad you did:)! I’ve already gotten many compliments on it ^_^

Thank you for the love, and I’m so very glad you like the bag! This was one of my favorite pieces to create; it makes me happy to know it’s gone to a good home. :)

I wish I could be completely open and honest with people about my life and past experiences but whenever I am, I’m always met with awkward silence, a muttered “wow, I had no idea.” and a quick diversion of topic. *sigh* a person isn’t meant to stay all emotionally bottled-up like this, yanno?

I was not created to exist within the narrow confines of your social expectations. I cannot be what you want me to be, only what I am. I will never apologize for being me (and if you truly love me as I am, you shouldn’t expect me to).

“Poor people of color, like other Americans — indeed like everyone around the world — want safe streets, peaceful communities, healthy families, good jobs, and meaningful opportunities to contribute to society. The notion that ghetto families do not, in fact, want those things, and instead are perfectly content to live in crime-ridden communities, feeling no shame or regret bout the fate of their young men is, quite simply, racist. It is impossible to imagine that we would believe such thing about whites.”
