Catch Me, Carbon

Rachel, 21, UCSC
Studying Neuroscience and Chemistry. I believe in nature, art, science, coffee, and the power of good people.

Trees, tambourines, totipotency and tireswings.

Feet are smarter than an engine, dreams are stronger than thighs.

For anyone who’s asked me what I miss most about the states since I’ve been in South Africa: forget whatever I said. Note cards. I miss fucking note cards.

I can tell how much I’ve been on Tumblr lately by how much punctuation I neglect to use.

“As a child I never heard one woman say to me, “I love my body.” Not my mother, my elder sister, my best friend. No one woman has ever said, “I am so proud of my body.” So I make sure to say it to Mia, because a positive physical outlook has to start at an early age.”
