This is utter and absolute bullshit and Caster Semenya and all the other women who will find themselves in her position in the future due to this absurd, discriminatory ruling deserve so much better. I am so angry and so sad for her.

to everyone who’s ever said something kind about my work: you help me get through the day. thank you.
may you all discover an interesting new hobby this year, and try a new recipe you’ve had your eye on, and find time to explore somewhere, and never walk past a bookstore without ducking in to look, and find a new hyperfixation, and watch your favourite movies over and over again, and find happiness wherever you are
I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.
I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.
That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.
Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.
Thank you man at McDonalds.
The milkshake saved my life
But I want you to know,
I love you daddy,
Love you dad,
Goodbye Reed.
There should be more fanfics about Lauren. There are so many about all the others and not about her. She is my fav and there are so many angst opportunities for her!!!
I mean in the second episode alone there was a man with a shotgun that pointed it at her and there is such an opportunity for there to be a fanfic about her getting shot. I would love to read that if anyone is interested in writing it!
Another idea could be about her and the secret she kept for 3 years! I know there are some out there already but they haven’t been updated in a while. I really like the idea of Lauren running away because of her powers!
PLEASE PEOPLE! SHOW LAUREN SOME LOVE!!!!!
