Okemah is a city in, and the county seat of, Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, United States. It is the birthplace of folk music legend Woody Guthrie. Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, a federally recognized Muscogee Indian tribe, is headquartered in Okemah. The population was 3,223 at the 2010 census, a 6.1 percent increase from 3,038 in 2000. In that census, about 26.6 percent of the residents identified themselves as Native American.
Historically occupied by the Osage and Quapaw, who ceded their lands to the United States by 1825, after Indian Removal of tribes from the Southeast United States in the 1830s, this area was assigned to the Creek Nation and specifically, the Thlopthlocco Tribal Town.
Okemah was named after a Kickapoo Indian chief named Chief Okemah. In March 1902, Chief Okemah built a bark house in his tribe's traditional fashion. He had come to await the opening of the townsite which took his name April 22, 1902. In the Kickapoo language, okemah means "things up high," such as highly placed person or town or high ground. Okemah had the chief's name to live up to in leadership.

In 1911, Laura Nelson was hanged in Okemah, Oklahoma. Today, over 100 years later I came across a Halloween ornament that echos her famous, tragic image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Laura_and_L.D._Nelson

I can't believe I'm uploading this. Um. So. These are some things I just felt I needed to say. It's okay not to be okay. I want you to know that. That you're not alone in all of this. Those feelings that you're feeling are valid, you are not wrong in your emotions. But you need to know that this is not a way of life, everyday should not be a bad one and every morning should not be a struggle. If you're feeling unexplainable sadness or having thoughts of harming yourself or others, TALK TO SOMEBODY. I cannot stress that enough. Cutting yourself will not fix your problems. Purging your dinner will not make today better. Those toxic coping mechanisms are causing bigger problems in themselves. I promise you that they will not make any of this go away. Reach out to your parents, friends, peop...

Quelle que soit l'envie
Quelle que soit la vie
Para?tre autre chose comme jouer un r?le
Demande beaucoup plus qu'il n'y parait
J'en suis l'exemple m?me
Comme une deuxi?me peau brod?e par l'habitude
Faite sur mesure pour cacher ce que je suis
Je ne suis rien du tout...
Mon id?al
Haut, toujours plus haut
Tu crois que para?tre ou savoir ?tre
Fait de toi quelqu'un d'autre
Mais le charisme se fait - je sais - avant l'attitude...
