Woman burned publicly in Ghana, accused of witchcraft → bbc.co.uk

pearlsfromthewest:

Police say the suspects tortured the woman, Ama Hemmah, until she confessed to being a witch, before dousing her with kerosene and setting her on fire.

She died from her injuries the following day.

This is just awful.  Whether this woman was a witch or not, this is an awful thought for the 21st century.  How can people treat other people this way?

When I went this past summer I didn't know anyone in my classes or anything. I ended up just meeting some great people and traveling with them. However, I did travel to Berlin by myself to meet up with my bestie. I would love to go with you to Switzerland. I left my heart there this summer and would love to go back and find it. <3

That is true. I should really try to meet new people (haha cause I definitely need more/new friends in my life). Like I keep telling everyone else, I just need to grow some balls and do something for myself and what-have-you! So this is the first thing I’m doing. 

And Switzerland is now added to my list. It is going to happen & you’re coming with me!

You should travel and experience the awesomeness that comes along with it. I spent this past summer in Italy and it was amazing. I recommend Switzerland for some great nature shots, it's absolutely beautiful.

I really do think I’m going to go on those trips… though I have a little issue going “alone” (I don’t really know the people I’d be going with too well for the TAGA trip and the photo classes). I think it would be good to start traveling with a class or an organized group, because then it’s more structured and its not just me wandering around. 

But I think those trips are something I really want to do, at least to start my worldly travels with :) haha After these, who knows where I’ll go!

Will you go to Switzerland with me? ;) Since you’ve obviously been there, you can be my tour guide lol.

Ohhh the place I could go...

Pittsburgh for the TAGA conference

Mexico for Spring Break

Scottland/Wales/Ireland for Photojournalism & Documentation Photography

and wherever they go for Nature Photography.

I think I’m gonna actually do this. Go places. Experience things. 

:)

In my ask box, leave an actress that you would cast as me if my life were made into a movie.

“

I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart

I am never without it
anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling

I fear no fate
for you are my fate, my sweet
I want no world
for beautiful you are my world, my true

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart

”

I have horrible sleeping patterns for awhile now as well . I got it tamed a bit this past week. I miss a lot of class for it as well :(

We are so terrible ;) lol. But only a couple more weeks and then its sleep in every day for a month! HOORAY!

I'm glad to hear that you're not any of those things! So why are you still awake at 2:20 AM?

Ahhh. 2:20 is EARLY for me. I have shitty sleep patterns, so for the longest time now I’ve been going to sleep at like 4 or 5 in the morning, waking up late for class, screwing everything up. But I decided that December is my month to fix everything… so we’ll see how that goes.

Wow...5-6 years is a long time. It does make things better that I actually know you! Now I don't have to worry about whether you're a balding, fat, middle aged pervert! lol

HAHAHA Nope, I’m not any of those things! At least not that I’m aware of ;)

And yeah, it was a long time. A lot of ups and downs :/
