I guess I always find "about me"s difficult to write because I either sound like I belong on myspace or someone who tries too hard to be profound. I'll start with the basics: My name's Ramelcy, and I'm from a little place you might have heard of known as New York City. I consider myself a Feminist and have an opinion on just about anything and everything. My tumblr is my own and no one else's so I'll post whatever quotes, rants, pictures, and random bullshit that I want. I guess it provides a bit of insight to who I am or at least I think I am? Don't hesitate to say hello. Follow and enjoy or not ?

If you didn’t grow up like I did then you don’t know, and if you don’t know, it’s probably better you don’t judge.
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (via livinginthecloudsram)
I’m so ready to move onto the next chapter in my life.
This one is so old and overrated now.
It really feels like shit is getting much worse before it even gets better.
Trying to keep my head above water & my shit together. (Sigh.)
What you want might make you cry. What you need might pass you by, if you don’t catch it. And what you need ironically will turn out what you want to be if you just let it…

Was like the most enlightening experience of the new year and maybe my whole Senior year.
So today in the club I founded and run called WinS, Women in Society (yeah not the most creative name ever), our proctor gave us the greatest life lessons in the matter of an hour. WinS is a feminist, female empowering club dedicated to discussing different issues young women and women of color face, but also how we can take positive steps to enact change and empower ourselves.
ANYWAY back to the point, the Religion teacher, who is our proctor is basically the only woman from school I would want to help run my club & she went all Ghandi on us today. She grew up in a more conservative time, but to me she exemplifies what a strong woman should be, from being a mother to dealing with her husband’s death like 3 yrs ago, always staying true to herself and her strong personality, and so much other shit. PLUS she’s from the Boogie Down tooooo. And basically today she led our whole meeting, which she doesn’t usually do, but she spoke with so much insight.
She talked about having to really be self-assured and happy with yourself so that you may find someone who truly loves you. You should never sell yourself short, but also never try to be someone you’re not because when you continue to keep up that facade, you will eventually resent it. She also talked about homophobic parents and how they should not try to stop their children from expressing themselves or hindering their happiness by not accepting them because life might already be a little more difficult for them because of discrimination, so it shouldn’t begin in the home, in their family. She also spoke on relationships, feminism, the standards for women and men, discrimination in the workplace, self-acceptance/self-love, and so much other shit. Like I usually don’t even write this much on my own tumblr, but today meant so much to me. This woman spoke to my soul and shit.
You never see it coming. You just get to see it go.
