Catch These Hands! with your hands. we’re holding hands now. this is nice

y'all need to stop telling people they can function totally alone for the entirety of their lives because it’s not true and it tells people who are suffering from loneliness that their pain isn’t real and they need to just suck it up. some of y'all who be sayin this aren’t even alone!!! but you’re telling other people they should be?? stop it!

The complete truth. I watched a loved one suffer with this. Contrary to popular social media belief, there’s no joy or health in total isolation cooped up in your bedroom with nobody to confide in.

Similarly, it’s totally okay to actually admit that you need people to survive. Loneliness is not to be glorified

Alone time is perfectly reasonable, and healthy even. But humans are social creatures and we require some form of social interaction one way or another.

look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you

A painter in Los Angeles kept missing his exit for the I-5 on the 110 highway, so he did his research, climbed up the overhead sign, and changed it himself without anyone noticing.

This is Richard Ankrom. He couldn’t find his damn exit, cuz it wasn’t properly labelled.  

So he took life by the balls, like any self-respecting Californian would do, and used his sign-painting expertise to fix it himself.

He called it ‘guerilla public service.’ Even got himself an outfit to look official. It worked, obvi.

Caltrans investigated, but the sign was actually up to code. They left it there for 8 years before they made an updated sign.

You can do anything if you’re wearing a hi-vis vest and hard hat.

chaotic good

You would be surprised with how many people in your life could be going through depression at this very moment.  People hide it like a paper bag over their heads out of fear of being judged, made fun of, seen as weak, or just not taken seriously.  Depression should not be taken lightly, it holds us down from our purpose and potential in life.  Those who tell you that it doesn’t exist have never experienced depression in their life, therefore not understanding the symptoms and how it’s something that cannot be fixed in a day!  So if you think you are depressed or if you think you know someone else who is, please talk to a friend, a family member, or anyone else in your life that you trust - never overlook the possibility of seeing a doctor for more professional help!!  Your feelings are real, your feelings are shared upon millions.  Don’t hide it, talk to someone about it.  With the right help, you can rediscover your confidence and begin life anew with our undying love and support! We are right here!!
