Dec 2013

2004 - The year I awoke politically and decided to make a personal and public stand for peace and women's rights. I took a lot of crap from my ex and the rather conservative social clique we were in but it was all well worth it.

10 years later I am so deeply glad that this man is President I almost want to cry.
