1051) I wish people would understand that the way I present myself isn’t a matter of personal choice or style. I’m intensely uncomfortable wearing clothing that is particularly feminine. I dress and act the way I do because any other way makes me feel awful.

Sorry… on We Heart It.

George R. R. Martin, A Storm of Swords (via tiredestprincess)

"Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly restricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in their workplaces. In recent decades we’ve been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there’s strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they’ve realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those of school…. Most people assume that the basic design of today’s schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth. Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not research. …. Research has shown that people of all ages learn best when they are self-motivated, pursuing answers to questions that reflect their personal interests and achieving goals that they’ve set for themselves. Under such conditions, learning is usually joyful. The evidence for all of this is obvious to anyone who’s watched a child grow from infancy to school age. Through their own efforts, children figure out how to walk, run, jump, and climb. They learn from scratch their native language, and with that, they learn to assert their will, argue, amuse, annoy, befriend, charm, and ask questions. ….

They do all of this before anyone, in any systematic way, tries to teach them anything. This amazing drive and capacity to learn does not turn itself off when children reach five or six. But we turn it off with our coercive system of schooling.”

Laura and I met on Tumblr in September of 2011. I had no idea that I’d ever talk to her again after the first conversation, let alone be where we are today. I don’t really think she did either but after that one single night, there was something different going on. It was something I had never felt before and we just never stopped talking. She’s beautiful, funny, caring and just everything I could’ve imagined in the perfect someone. The only problem was that we lived 800 miles apart, her living in Quebec and me living in Indiana. But that really never stopped us from denying the feelings. We became dedicated to each other on November 10, 2011. Using texting apps and Skype, we’ve talked every single day since Day 1. There have been definite kinks along the way but we’ve been able to spend time together twice. She came to Indiana in July of 2012 and I just got home from being in Montreal this month. The distance is hard but I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Things are looking up for us and we’ll be able to make visits much more often now, the next being in October. This is a love worth fighting for.
