So Tom’s gonna be Laura now… and in 2012 I still find people on the internet commenting  on another persons life how they insult and condemn a person for his choices.  

How about the people who go through this and never find peace and end up committing suicide?  Would you rather that?  Or maybe he could become a raging drug addict and ruin his life and family?  Would you rather that?  Or maybe we could have rules from a dictator where everyone gets killed for anything they believe against the government, oh wait that doesn’t work…

How about you leave the guy alone.  How about you let another human being make a decision about their lives without your snide prejudices and bigotry? This is one of the hardest decisions a person can make.  From my limited understanding of the subject, it means feeling your whole life like you were born in the wrong skin.  That’s something that 99% of us can’t understand.  Weither you agree or don’t, it’s not your life.  It’s not your family.  it’s not your band, it’s theirs.  

I don’t see the AM! guys very often, or if at all, but I always wish them well.  They’re a great band.  Leave it at that.  Just let them be a great band.

To those being kind, this is not for you…

If this is joke though, it’s in very bad taste to the people who actually go through this. But I will say that I still feel this way about anyone who makes a decision against what we call normal.  You can’t hate them, and they have the right, here in America, to make their own choices and live their lives free of prejudice.  

So go live, Tom.

XOXO

****PS- EDIT NOTE**** - I do realize using “she” and “Laura” are appropriate but I was being considerate, since I don’t know Tom (Laura) that at this current moment to the best of my knowledge He is still a man named Tom, and hasn’t informed me to begin using she and Larua yet, as we don’t speak, and I haven’t read the article yet.  though he will soon be a woman named Laura, which I will then refer to her as such.  Can you please just look at the big picture here?
Thanks.
XOXO
What are you my english teacher?

Whats up tumblr. I got this chest tattoo a few weeks ago and I’m so so so happy that I did. I don’t want to come off as attention seeking by posting it on here, but I’m honestly just posting this for me, kind of as a reminder of why I got it. I’m very proud of it. It’s my blog, I’m posting my damn tattoo.

It reads “Not flesh and blood, but heart” which is a quote by Friedrich Schiller, a German philosopher in the 17-1800’s. My mom showed me this quote a while ago, and it really struck a chord in me. She isn’t a fan of tattoos by any means, but I feel like there are worse things I could do with my body, so mom, be thankful it’s just a needle full of ink. Also, my mom doesn’t have a tumblr. Don’t know why I wrote that.

Anyway, to me the quote meant everything. So much of my life had to deal with it. My biological parents split up when I was real young. It wasn’t an ugly angry split or anything at all, they still talk and get along fine which I’m very thankful for, but at the same time, my mom and I were kind of on our own for a long while. She’s amazing. She took me on while having a full time job as a middle school teacher, and taking night classes working towards her masters degree so her and I could have a better life. I believe she thought she had to do this for me because there weren’t many dudes out there willing to take on such a huge burden. A kid, a woman with almost zero time in her schedule, and knowing she always has to be in contact with her ex husband because of the kid.

That’s when we met my step dad. He had been in a previous marriage much like my mom and was also a teacher. He and my mom had a mutual friend, and they were set up on a blind date. They just seemed perfect. They’re both 5 foot 5 inches tall. His name is James, my moms name is Jamey. They made sense. As of right now, they’ve been married for 12 years. He knew what he was getting himself into by taking us on, and he just did it. Without even hesitating. He took me on like I was his own, and that meant the world to me, because he didn’t have to. He chose to do it. I love my biological father as well, but he was never really there for me in the times that I needed him. He couldn’t be. He lived sort of far away, and I don’t blame him for that. I wasn’t gonna call him and tell him to drive and hour to my house when I wanted to learn how to ride a bike or shave. When I was younger I kind of figured I was gonna have to do those things on my own. Instead, my step dad taught me. He taught me everything. How to talk to girls, how to tie a tie, how to ride a bike, how to shave, and most importantly how to love. That sounds really fucking lame, but it’s the truth. I know what love looks like. When your own blood bails on you, and a stranger comes in to take his place solely out of his own willingness to do so, it means something. He loved me.

Not flesh and blood, but heart.

As for us today, we fight and argue and butt heads almost constantly, but what does anyone else do with their parents? That’s whats so amazing to me. He IS my parent. Not an ounce of my blood runs through his veins, but he’s my dad. He just is. And I’m thankful every day for it. So, this one is for you Pop. Thanks for still sticking around and dealing with my bullshit. Love you, dude.
