Save Me Not Second Base
As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and a lot of waffling over whether I should get involved with a debatable issue. But one of the things you learn in the School of Humanities is that rhetoric is open for critique.
Go on. Save the boobies. Save the tatas. Save second base. Raise money. Sell wristbands. Base entire campaigns around a secondary, sexualized sex characteristic used pars pro toto for womanhood. You’ll get away with it.
But first save the people they’re attached to.
An this is the truth speaking out. Why aren’t we saving the ones they belong to?

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
My earliest memory is when I’m three and I’m playing with a light-bright on Christmas.
Is that all there is?
Is all that there was?
To lose yourself to something that is no more, for someone that is not there.
It hurts to see you like this.
I become emotionless hearing your voice the way it is now.
Where is the you I knew?
Where is the you I grew attached to, that was once my friend?
Why are you letting this take over you?
Why can’t you just let it go.
Make a new path as we have.
One not laced with our pasts, one free from what they make you believe.
Don’t let this consume you.
Falling down that deep is sure to kill you.
I was there too, but I was able to catch myself before that darkness consumed me.
But to watch you now and not being able to help with the darkness now surrounding you, will end up killing me too.
I don’t want to lose you.
I’ve know you for too long.
I ask for you to catch yourself too, before you are far to gone.
An if you ask, I’ll help to catch you.
I will become that angel of darkness once again, just to set you free from the darkness now threatening to kill you.
I will fight…till the end…to see you free as you use to be.
I will be your angel of darkness.
