The app for independent voices

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

Trump is dismantling our Civil Rights

Thank you. Mexico, for standing up for truth snd integrity. We here in America wish many of our corporate leaders could find the decency and courage to do the same.

Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

In English, we say: "I overthink."

But in poetry, we say: "I replay your words a thousand times, searching for a meaning you never meant.”

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Dear Ms. Buckotwat,

You knew it was the tats so why even bother pretending like you don't? Seems like attention seeking behavior, but I'm not here to judge. If you're serious about landing a job, I heard United Airlines is looking to expand the diversity of their pilots to at least 50% women or people of color. United Airlines would hit the jackpot with a woman of color like yourself!

Best of Luck!

P.S. - You could always be an artist like Tom MacDonald who also shares your love for face tattoos and dermatologic decour (love this Jenna!) youtube.com/watch?v=S7t…
