choosing light.
i’m an expert at knowing how to graze over the details of my tragic life in thirty seconds or less.
for a long time i hid the darkest parts of my story. the darkness had been going on for so long and was so severe that i clung to it desperately with white knuckles—fearing that if anyone found out that i would become even more alone than i already was. i spent years with the darkness...

I miss my grandmothers. I hate that I have to wait another full year before I even get the chance to see them again.

If I had 8 friends who were huge fans of Arrested Development, I’d convince them to dress up as one member of the Bluth Family for Halloween and we’d go around the city giving away frozen bananas.

On this morning’s NPR broadcast, they ran a story entitled “Activists Support U.S. Move Against Uganda Rebels,” where they recognize the efforts of our supporters on bringing the issue of the LRA to national attention and our joint project with Resolve on the LRA Crisis Tracker.
