I took photos of you with our kittens
a stretch towards owning something real-
something heavy and innocent. Together.
We saved eachother and these kittens.
You lay framed by unkempt bathtub lino-
framed by sparkling water and a yellow aging.
Warm skin tones from neither of your parents.
I still dream about it, soft and plump-
marinating in the bohemian dream.
The innocence of our kittens,
the snap of my lens,
the pieces left from the 90’s we picked up,
referenced during fights.
Strong words were used in the 90’s,
but now every struggle for meaning
is a revolution in itself. A rare moment
captured by my lens. Your curves.

In Iran, Pre-Teen Girls Are Raped Before They're Executed
There are currently 134 minors on death row in Tehran where a vast array of crimes “against religion” qualify for capital punishment. Girls as young as nine-year-old girls are held legally responsible for their actions while boys are not held accountable until they reach the age of thirteen. In Iran, the suffering of prepubescent females on death row isn’t limited to the hangman’s noose.
During a telephone interview with the Jerusalem Post, a member of the powerful Basiji militia admitted that his duties included raping children before they were executed. Under Sharia Law, virgins cannot be executed, so they’re coerced into marrying their jailers prior to being killed.

A question for you:
When you find yourself in a self-destructive pattern, what do you do to bring yourself back to reality?

You call yourself a ‘free spirit’, a ‘wild thing’, and you’re terrified someone’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well, guess what? You’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bound in the east by Somaliland or in the west by Tulip, Texas. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter how much you run, you’ll always run into yourself.

This quote fits into my head so well in so many situations.
Wherever you run to in the world, you will always run into yourself.
