Something I was compelled to write.

I cannot tell you, in full, the deepest wishes that I’ve had for your time in my life; wishes filled with longing for solvent and restitution biased toward the end of healing old wounds. I can, however, tell you about the deep joy and guiltless relief that comes when thinking upon your engagement; your healing after troubled times. I must tell you that, though outwardly fond and comforting, inwardly I hurt for the lack of empathetic gesture, I still do. Indeed, I still do. I grieve the wounds caused by careless yearnings for emotions that I cannot so simply possess. And, so, without further delay, let me speak to your engagement and think it good. Ruin me not, once again, for I speak with no ill will on your behalf. Never have I dreamt harm to you or your kind; only have I wished peace and forgiveness on both accounts. I hope you know that. I hope you have learned that over the years. I wish you well. Good bye.

I gave this to my friend for her birthday. I made it. It stands for peace and blessings in relationships. Because, I really hope the best for her in the future and I wish her as well as I can. Happy Birthday; best of luck.

For me, you don't have to worry when my music is loud, crazy, and heavy. You have to worry when I switch from Blink182 to Gregory Alan Isakov.

Hi! I saw you say that on average day you study on average 4hours. Do you have any study tips? Thank you so much and I hope you have a lovely day! Xx

I’m a type A studier, so take my tips with a grain of salt 🙊• use a planner! I personally prefer paper planners, so my Erin Condren Life Planner is my best bud. I used to have the horizontal layout, but I went vertical this time and like it even more! If you’re like me and tend to have 15,987 thoughts racing through your head at any given time, then I think you would benefit from writing it all down. It helps clear your mind, and makes you feel so much more productive when you can actually see how much you have accomplished. Otherwise you’re going based on feeling, and if you’re stressed, your feelings will hardcore betray you. • ONE THING AT A TIME. My dad always reminds me that you eat an elephant “one bite at a time”; if you take things weeks or months at a time, you will feel hopeless. Work one assignment at a time, one exam at a time, one lecture at a time. If you’re like me and feel obligated to bring everything you own to the library, stop yourself and bring that one thing you want to get done. That way, you are forcing yourself to focus only on what you have in front of you. • study a little bit each day! Ain’t nobody got time for cramming the night before. • make sure your end goal is learning, and not getting the A! If you don’t get the A, but you know you gave it your all, you will feel much better about yourself. • ask questions early! Nip the confusion right in the bud. • form study groups! Spend time reviewing the material on your own, and then discuss with a friend! It will expose where the gaps in your knowledge are if you are unable to articulate a concept to a classmate. • use the textbook as a resource. Do NOT be me and read every word for fear of missing a question on an exam. PLEASE, for the love of squirrels do not be me. • know your limits. Do not sit your butt down for 8 hours straight and expect to be productive the whole time. If you aren’t focusing, it’s cause your brain is exhausted – listen to what your body is telling you! • figure out how you learn best! I’m a visual learner, so colors and pictures help a ton. Especially for pathophysiology! I’m also a kinesthetic learner, so it helps to do things and not just observe them being done!• cute stationary, cause cute stationary just makes everything better ✨🎉

I hope this helps :)

This is all really solid advice that goes for most of life in general. I mean, I don't have any cute stationary, but uh... I have like 7 Moleskin notebooks that I write in as I learn or have an idea.

Look, I'm only going to say this once because it's going to annoy or distress someone. This is what's wrong with Christianity today. It's just poor taste, like yes of course I'm on God's side but if I don't reblog or like your stupid picture then I'm going to hell, huh? Rooting for the devil again I suppose because this guilt tripping social media buzz Christianity is what non-Christians laugh at us for. Instead of spreading the Gospel, we spread our gospel that WE are on God's side and that makes us on the right side. If I was a non-christian I would want nothing to do with Christianity based off 90% of the people I see on tumblr or Facebook. Spoiler alert, they're why I quit Facebook. Sorry to rant but this literally does more damage than good; and maybe that's just my opinion, but it's such an ambiguous and disengaging thing about 21 century Christianity.

Within ten minutes of showing up I cried because I made it. A year ago I wouldn’t get out of bed. Last night I went to a concert with my best friend. I’ve gotten better, I’ve lived.

So. I’m usually not one to make such posts like this and get involved in any of it. But it really makes me mad. Christina Grimmie being shot after her own concert is devastating. But if anyone dares to say that America has a gun problem. They’re wrong. America doesn’t have a gun problem. America has a moral problem. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Would it truly matter if guns were illegal? Sex trafficking is illegal and that happens. Heavy drug cartels are illegal and they happen. So how about we change our morals before blaming a piece of metal for our problems.

i like that life is constantly unfolding and unfolding. i like that i keep discovering things. i like that i’m on my way to people that i have yet to discover, people who will matter. i like that life opens up, if you just show up for it.

I feel like I would like to be somewhere else Doing something that matters And I'll admit here While I sit here, my mind wastes away And my doubts start to gather What's the purpose? It feels worthless So unwanted like I've lost all my value I can't find it, not in the least bit And I'm just scared So scared that I'll fail you Sometimes I think That I'm not any good at all And sometimes I wonder why Why I'm even here at all But then you assure me I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once So I say if I can't Do something significant I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted And nothing trivial That life can give you will Measure up to what might have replaced it Too late, look My date book Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone And I bet That regret Will prove to get me to improve in the long run Sometimes I think That I'm not any good at all And sometimes I wonder why Why I'm even here at all But then you assure me I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once I'm a little more than useless And I never knew, I knew this Was gonna be the day Gonna be the day that I would do something right Do something right for once I noticed I know this Week is a symbol of how I use my time Resent it I spent it Convincing myself the world's doing just fine Without me (Without me) Doing anything of any consequence Without me (Without me) Showing any sign of ever making sense Of my time It's my life And my right to use it like I should Like he would For the good Of everything that I would ever know I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once I'm a little more than useless And I never knew, I knew this Was gonna be the day Gonna be the day that I would do something right Do something right for once

I had a really high spike of depression yesterday. Like to the point of lying in bed for hours because the thought of moving hurt. There were things I needed to do yesterday. I’m now almost a week behind because I don’t have a weekday off until next Thursday. For any one of my family members who have been dismissive lately about my depression and anxiety, thanks, because I really needed the chance to prove it to you.

How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. How you make others feel about themselves says alot about you. Lift people up every chance you get and be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.

(via americanbeautiful0129)

I don't entirely agree with this 100%. There are a lot of people out there encouraging other people and being kind because no one ever gave them that same decency. It isn't about how they feel about themselves at all, because a lot of the time they feel terrible. It's that there are more important things to think about than feeling terrible and people are one of them.
