fail that test. get drunk and throw up. have your heart broken. burn your toast. be late to class. break a glass. kiss someone awkwardly. look like shit. walk into a pole. eat a pint of ice cream. lose a friend. fail, make mistakes, because that means you’re fucking living.

What is gay privilege?

better sex

No accidental kids.

Date someone your size and double your wardrobe.

Being able to listen to really good music together because of automatic good taste.

Not being straight.

When the honeymoon stage ends what happens

…………

You’re more honest with each other. Bodily functions are something to laugh about. Sweatpants and tee shirts are a regular thing. They know what you look like without all the makeup. Being “laid up and watching Netflix” is the only thing you’re looking forward to after work. You don’t go on fancy dates as often but you trade that for quality time. You find yourself being more vulnerable and you open up more. They become your best friend. You will able to talk about anything. You won’t be worried about impressing their parents, you’re just gonna love them anyway regardless of how their parents may feel. You will have inside jokes that no one else will get. Sex is not as often but, twice as passionate. Little fights will happen, but you’ll learn not to sweat the small stuff. You’ll learn what compromise really is about. You’ll dream about the future together. Grow together. Be on each other’s team. See their ugly crying face, and be the one to wipe the tears away & do something stupid to make them life. things are amazing after the honeymoon stage. However, it’s a time about giving up your walls and open up some doors you have locked a long time ago.

That’s why some people don’t make it past this point, because they don’t know what unconditional self-love means. Remain open and optimistic, love will never fail you.

First Pride 🌈

Somebody make a pride for dummies post for those of us gaybies who haven’t had a chance to go yet. What should we expect??

Attach helpful information to this post plz

I go to Chicago pride so my small pieces of advice go along with that weather and stuff. SUNBLOCK. Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. I can’t stress that enough. Wear closed toe shoes cuz my feet certainly have gotten stepped on. I recommend getting an anti theft backpack too it’s a lot easier than a purse AND I like it more than a regular backpack. Uhhh bring cash definitely. Be aware of your body. I get overheated there every time haha so lots of water! I usually pack myself three bottles. And have a snack too like granola bars. Have fun!!!!

I’ve gone to a couple of Pride festivals but my main go-to is NYC Pride! I always go by this checklist so hopefully I helps you guys out as much as it helps me! 🖤

•Sunblock (Suuper Important)

•Sunglasses (Trust me, just bring them)

•Water (YOU CAN EASILY GET DEHYDRATED! You’ll most likely be dancing, walking, in the sun, and in a crowd. Do NOT forget to drink water!)

•Ibuprofen (Advil, Tylonol)

•Camera (Gotta take a bunch of photos, duh!)

•Extra Cash (God forbid something happens AND some places selling stuff at the parade will only take cash!)

•Backpack (ANTI THEFT)

•Photo ID

•Closed Toe Shoes (You’ll be walking ALL day)

•Snacks (Granola Bars, etc.)

•Hairties (Always have two Incase yours breaks or a friend gets hot and needs to put their hair up)

•Keys (Make sure you don’t lose them at the parade!!!)

•Portable Charger (Everyone’s phone dies at big events like these so always be prepared)

•DONT TAKE STUFF FROM STRANGERS! (I know it sounds stupid to say, but there are people who will try to take advantage of us while we’re mindlessly trying to celebrate and be proud. Don’t let anything slip past you!)

•Buddy System (If you or a friend need to use the bathroom or anything that requires you to separate from the group, TAKE A FRIEND WITH YOU. You’re less likely to be taken advantage of if you’re with someone else.)

•Umbrella (IF IT RAINS OUT OF NOWHERE YOULL WANNA KEEP DRY)

•Public transportation (always easier than driving yourself, especially if you want to drink at the parade. BUT FORWARNING: IT WILL BE CRAZY SO BE PREPARED)

•Jacket (This is more for the people who tend to be cold all the time like me. Also, if you’re at a parade, you will most likely stay there the entire day! When the sun starts to go down it will get cooler!)

•Makeup/Baby wipes (Whether it’s in the bathroom or in the sun, sometimes you just gotta wipe your face or your ass during the parade lol // side note: there will most likely be a lot of people at this parade and a lot of bathrooms in public places will run out of toilet paper so be prepared!)

•***ALWAYS EAT AND USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE A BIG EVENT! ***

SUCH HELPFUL TIPS

Okay controversy will come from this, but don’t tell your kids that they are eating too much unless they have to restrict their intake for some medical reason.

A kid will go back to refil their dinner plate and I’ll hear parents say “don’t you think that’s enough dinner for tonight?” Or “you shouldn’t eat that much food.”

Telling your kid that they’ve had too much food, or they shouldn’t eat that much can contribute to an eating disorder later in life.

Kids don’t go to refill their plates for fun, they do it because they are still hungry. They’re growing people! They need lots of food!

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE.

Also to add onto this, when your kid brings back a plate of a second serving and the parent literally gives them the hawk eyes in disapproval and anger, BACK THE FUCK OFF.

YES. On a related note, I also don’t think we should force our kids to clean their plates. When they’re full, they’re full. When they’re hungry, they’re hungry. When we make them finish everything on the plate or we tell them they can’t have any more, we’re breaking the mechanism in their brains that signals them that their bellies have had enough for now. Our kids know when they’ve eaten enough and they know when they need more. The human body is an incredible machine.

remember that feeling you had as a kid when bad things were happening and nobody seemed to care and you just kept thinking “Someone should be outraged about this!!! Someone should know and be completely horrified and stunned and then take me away from all this!” but it never seemed to happen and you waited and waited until you lost the faith that you were worth saving

and then whenever you’d try to tell someone they’d say “it’s not that bad,” “you’re making it up,” “they love you,” and “don’t talk about them like that” like you had no idea what was happening 

Emotional Abuse:

1) They are always right

Somehow, you will always be in the wrong. Facts and events get twisted and you will always end up being the guilty party. Nothing they do is ever their fault. They will have one set of rules for themselves and another set for everyone else. They do not take responsibility for their part and trying to get them to own up to something will leave you disappointed and frustrated.

2) They blame others

As previously mentioned, emotional abusers are never to blame for anything that goes wrong. They will somehow always be the victim. They will steadfastly refuse to apologise for their actions and blame anyone else,anything else to get off the hook. You are wasting your time if you hope that your emotionally abusive partner will apologise and work hard to change his/her ways. Why should they when it’s not their fault?

3) Gas-lighting

This involves making you believe things that didn’t really happen or aren’t really there. For example telling you that they have told you about an upcoming party that you are 100% sure they never told you about. They will never doubt themselves. Instead they will roll their eyes and insist they told you leaving you to doubt your memory. They will push their version of reality on to you and you may end up feeling as if you are going crazy, not knowing what is true anymore.

4) They are critical of others but do not apply the same rules to themselves

Emotional abusers often have low self-awareness. This is often because they are more tuned in to others in order to control them and manipulate them. Apart from being quite controlling characters, they are known for their constant put-downs.

this is so important!!! there needs to be so much more awareness around emotional abuse! a lot of people don’t even know what emotional abuse is who are experiencing it or have been for long time, i went through emotional abuse for so long without even knowing what it was. a lot of people try to belittle it because they aren’t any physical scares yet the pain and recovery is the same either way.

If your child’s worst fear is disappointing you, facing your anger, or not living up to your expectations, then you have failed as a parent.

Its almost impressive how some of them don’t even seem to realize that no, your child being scared of you doesn’t mean you’re doing a good job and also no, it doesn’t mean you have their respect.
