“I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told”
“I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told”
Never again will I stifle the sound of my own voice to make a man feel less small – even if it quivers
Never again will I seal my lips in embarassment when he tells me that I’m wrong
Never again will I fear abandonment for speaking what I know to be true in my own heart

Hoosiers 25 and Under: READ
I want to start off by saying that the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches are all overtaken by Republicans at the moment. Even if you are conservative, you should be concerned by this due to the fact that we need checks and balances that actually take into account everyones needs. That is after all what this country was founded on; checks and balances. Right now, Democrats have been…

Judgement of the Crowd
Throughout my life I’ve been apart of quite a lot of religious communities. Some have been life changing, and absolutely amazing: others not so much.

Walk Upon the Waters
After I left Indiana this past year I began working at a summer camp in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. When people asked me how my experience went, I could only allude it to a day where a friend and I were sitting around watching our campers playing a game with this dodge-ball.
