Somebody referred to what I do as subliminal activism, which I like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.
Activism, to me, I don't know if it really works. It may work for somebody else, but it does not work for me.
'Subliminal' is about how we misinterpret our behavior because we're unaware of what our unconscious minds are doing.
I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.
I was raised in a very activist household so that I grew up surrounded by people who were activists.
I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.
Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It's very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don't view myself as a political person. I'm just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
I have referred to myself as an accidental activist on more than one occasion.
I don't necessarily see myself as an activist, running down the street and knocking at every door.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.
