yup.

ok so that last one was kind of depressing

I'm listening to Sade - By Your Side and I this past weekend I spent with my sister.  I can't tell you how much it helped me.  I got clarity and found a way to channel my anger.  I have been so shameful of my anger, hatred and distaste for things and people that it's changing me.  I am now ok to use that power for good and be assertive.  There are so many times I want to say fuck you and I smooth it over with "ok-ness".  I'm not there anymore and it's so empowering.

tree in the forest

if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one there to hear, does it still make a sound?  if one is always alone in the world, what's the point?
