Psychosomatic Rants

In “Chaos and Love Are Tak­ing Over the World” writer Mylie T espouses that mar­riage is “just a piece of paper” and swears off pink — just for polit­i­cal spite. Mylie part­ners with Jason Bay­less to write the insight­ful blog called Pyscho­so­matic Rants and in this post dated June 6, 2007 she explores her own flip-flop mind­set on the sub­ject of mar­riage for tradition’s sake. “I am not sure when the change hap­pened, but some­where and some­how I had shifted my dreams of being princess Leia in a white flow­ing gown to being a col­lege girl , hold­ing her own and running–screaming–from eter­nal commitment.”

But things indeed change for Mylie in this intel­li­gent dis­cus­sion on activisim and soci­etal expec­ta­tions. “I real­ized how much my polit­i­cally cor­rect­ness had de-romanticized by exis­tence,” she writes and came to believe in some­thing far big­ger and more impor­tant in the grand scheme of things. We find her con­clu­sion not only roman­tic but down­right philo­soph­i­cally cor­rect. Read her thought­ful nar­ra­tive. It is today’s Post of the Day win­ner here at The Ris­ing Blog­ger; and please, take Mylie’s advice: “What­ever you decide to do with your life, I implore you to be pas­sion­ate and to know why you do what you do.”

Spo­ken like a true activist, we’d say. We like your brand of chaos.
