"There is more than one kind of freedom, said Aunt Lydia. Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it." - The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
I am in a constant state of flux. Every day I am nearer to the end of my teenage years, although it doesn't feel like it. So much has happened in so little time that days don't feel like much.
I am a sexual assault survivor. I have some comminglation of depression, anxiety, and ADD. The ADD explains a lot.
I am taking a break from my studies at Rutgers University. When I am there, I am an English Major, soon to start a Cinema Studies Minor. When I'm not there, I'm a lonely, lost little girl.
This journal is a map to my soul. An outline, an impression, a guide, whichever you'd like to use. It records my freedoms to, the wishes for freedoms from, and my captivity.
You have the freedom to read me. I have the freedom to read you. We have the freedom to get under each other's skin, to make a connection. I have a freedom from ignorance, from malicious comments, and harassment. If you choose to read my journal as some way to hurt me, understand that that will not be tolerated, as that is not a freedom granted to you.
Feel free to add me to your friends list. I like to meet new and interesting people. Just, be sure to READ THE DISCLAIMER, and understand what it means. If you do choose to add me, I would appreciate a comment on an entry as an introduction, and preferably a reason why. It's common courtesy. I may or may not add you back. That's just how it goes.
I tend to post frequently. I've been averaging 4 or 5 posts a day recently, but it fluctuates and the volume can increase depending on the circumstances.
I also have a poetry journal,
letterstonoone, a not-so-NaNoWriMo-anymore journal, novellum, and am the creator/maintainer of 
laura_unite, val_emmich_fans, the_blakes_fans, and nsr_fans.To view previous incarnations of my userinfo page, go to the **General ME Info section of my memories. Feel free to browse the other memories, too.
