i only want to not date. for a long time. just be in this season of singleness and sisterhood. then someday, when the time is right... meet someone who is a friend. and be friends with them. and be better friends with them. then be really good friends with them. then know them really well to the point of knowing when to pick them up when they're down, or leave them alone when they're grumpy, or make fun of them when they're being stubborn, or give them a hug when they're deeply sad... and knowing what they think. and seeing how they live. and trusting what they believe. and respecting it all. and they respect me. and we see eye to eye on almost everything. and we learn to work through conflict well. and we submit to G-d first and foremost. and we have similar hopes and dreams and future forecast :] yah, yah. i know you can't know everything beforehand. i know you can't plan for all the tiny and giant strifes we call life. but i want to be with a man who is on the same wave-length... who doesn't look at me like i'm a freak for thinking about how to raise my unborn children... or for being 100% sure about G-d! i'm tired of not being me because someone else might get uncomfortable. i can't compromise her anymore. she's got her ugly parts, for sure. her smallness, weakness, hard knots, meanness. but perla's the only me i can be. by G-d's grace, i hope i get a little bit better... but He did make me me, and that's who i actually want and like to be :]

CONSTRUCTION OF AN EMANCIPATOR

Now at the end of everyday I lie awake at night and wait

To feel the wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged

And Hear my beaten heart exclaim, 'Still, I refuse to let her go.'"

Employers

* Robber's of my Thoughts
International Woman of Leisure
Los Angeles, California, United States
Maintaing a level of Fancy-Ness, Crossing International boarders, Fashionably Challenged and Preaching to The Masses, drinking your booze, talking non-sense, too young to make these decisions, all the while feeling like my body no longer belongs to me... I have no clue how to explain what I do.. If infact, I do anything at all.
