HUNT HARD
KILL SWIFTLY
WASTE NOTHING
OFFER NO APOLOGIES*

Most people couldn’t see self-love in those words if you paid them. But for me, it’s there, because this is a bloody, fierce thing. I have to aggressively go after what I need, take it, work it for everything it’s got, and never apologize for doing what I have to do. I don’t usually succeed at ( Read more... )

I hope we never lose you to it, and I'm glad you stay as strong as you can even when you don't feel strong.

I STILL cannot get over how fucking PERFECT this is. How it is, like, the poster for my Spear Theory. I mean, holy fuck. Maybe I should contact the author about the Spear Theory.

I am going through something like this right now; it's physical rather than mental or spiritual, but it applies nonetheless. It would be very easy for me to crawl into a pill bottle since I have three damaged vertebrae in my back. I don't think many would judge me badly because, let's face it, this is a pretty serious injury. However, I choose not to do that. I am going to rehab my injury, I am going to keep skating and refereeing for my local roller derby league, and I am not going to knuckle under to the pain. Even if it hurts like hell, it beats the crap out of simply giving up.

Good on you.
