We've almost made it through the holidays. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Maddie and I are having a party with our closest friends to celebrate a new year, a new beginning, a new start.
I'm a huge fan of New Year's. No, a calendar shouldn't mark a chance to start over, but I like the idea that as a society, we decide to together. And no, New Year's resolutions aren't necessarily the most productive, but it's the hope that really counts. I hope 2015 will be a good year for me. I plan on doing as much self-care as possible, keeping up with this blog, and just overall focusing on accepting who I am as a person. We'll see how this goes. But for now, links... Suicide Note -- It's necessary to start today's post with something entirely tragic. Leelah Alcorn tragically took her life two days ago. I am devastated by the circumstances that led to her decision to kill herself. Misgendering a human is an act of violence. Shame on Leelah's parents. And to take a very important quote from her other post before ending her life: "Also, anyone who says something like “I wish I got to know him better” or “I wish I treated him better” gets a punch in the nose." My heart is breaking for Leelah and so many in her situation. If you're reading this and you identify as trans, I want you to know that I will do what I can to be an ally (but I'll be likely to fail). The trans lifeline is another option: 877-565-8860. You deserve more than what you're dealing with. You are worth everything. No-Churn Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream -- I started looking at ice cream recipes again. I blame Sherry. Quick Garlicky Parmesan Crostini -- Garlic is always the answer. We're married!!!!!! -- these are the cutest wedding photos. Red Wine Velvet -- If I thought I could actually use wine for cooking and not drink it, I'd make this. Wait a minute. I didn't say that. Fruity Pebble Funfetti Cake -- It's childhood. And cake. Oh my god. 49 Tremendous Things That Florida Men Accomplished This Year -- I love the Florida Man. I really really really do. Taylor Swift Mash-up-- This is so pretty it hurts. Fine Ass Lines -- I like blogs. That's all I have for today. Let's hope 2015 we all work to become better, happier, more aware and supportive human beings. It's a new beginning.
