I don’t think westerners understand how much our countries make up our identity. it’s like a part of our genotype, so saying we hate our countries always comes with an attached sadness and reservoirs of hope. I think most of us love America but are salty about the state of affairs in the Middle East and the…

on the up-side of this, i live in utah and by chance got my yearly exam from dr torres herself! she is a total BAMF.

Oh, how I long for an old money reality show. Just some older ladies hanging out in their very old riding togs planning a benefit that they’re not going to buy a new dress for but might possibly get the good jewelry out of the bank for.
