(Freak Revolution is a blog about communication and self acceptance. Not sure why I haven’t added it to my blog roll yet. I read it all the time. I’m remedying that now.)

And just maybe, if you're as open minded as you claim to be, you won't delete my post.. Ready?? Here it goes.. "Get over yourself". I see a psychologically weak soul that needs help from a shrink.. or, maybe get God into your life. I don't know.. but you need something to cure all this fricking self pity.

What an amazing story. I want to give little Kyeli a hug and silly kisses and make her feel loved and safe. As for grown-up Kyeli, I just want to say how overwhelmingly impressed I am by your ability to *figure this shit out*. Because OMG how easy would it be to just scoot through life and never really look that closely at any of it? Love to you, and your deep awareness and strength ~ Eileen Wow, Kyeli.

Do whatever it takes to fix you, then you cna help others if that is what you so desire.

Even though I'm typically not the "Chicken Soup" kind of guy, I really feel the emotion and strength behind it. Good piece. I wish you the best and hope you become less clumsy, haha.

It's rare that I'm at a loss for words, but, I am. That's how powerful this was. So, not many words, but lots of hugs, admiration and respect.

It makes me think about how kids internalize what happens around them, and my heart breaks for young Kyeli and all the other kids out there who can't possibly understand the true meaning of what they're witnessing. But it's such a beautiful thing that you are finding ways to give that little girl what she needs. And that you're modeling it for all of us.
