THIS.

I have never thought about it in this context

that’s actually really, really creepy.

I… fuck.

Yeah, basically.

I once pointed this out to my mother and she just stared at me, in stunned silence for ages.

There will always be a girl who is less sober, less secure, with less friends walking in a darker part of town. I want her safe just as much as I want me safe.

Did I mention that I hate Christmas?

some of my music makes me want to cuddle for 7 hours and some of my music makes me want to do hard drugs in a motel room while wearing lingerie

Okay guys this is serious. Please reblog if you are bisexual or support being bisexual. I want to come out to my mom, and I’m going to write down every url.

So you attempt to hide your loneliness in public, to behave, in fact, as though you have too many friends already, and thus you hope to attract people who will unwittingly save you. But it never works that way. Your condition is written all over your face, in the hunch of your shoulders, in the hollowness of your laugh. You fool no one.

This image is one of the most powerful pro-choice images I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in the newspaper I immediately cut it out and hung it on my wall.
This is not my image. I’m using it with permission from Arthur Newspaper.

The sad part is a lot of people don’t even understand what the hanger represents. Awful.

abortions will always occur, let’s make them as safe as possible.

The cretins who want to make abortion illegal don’t seem to understand that it will do NOTHING to stop abortion

All it will do is lead to unsafe abortions that could result in the death of the woman having one

if somebody wears a dress and copious amounts of makeup and has ass-length pink hair and they say they are a boy you call them a boy

gender stereotypes are not an excuse for misgendering someone it doesnt matter what gender you think they “look” like. respect the gender they ARE.

When considering killing yourself over a math test, who do you blame; yourself or the people who quantify your worth with a system of five letters?

1. When you cut yourself, clean and bandage it. 2. Do not start smoking cigarettes because the boy who broke your heart does. 3. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 4. Cutting calories doesn’t do anything but make you unhappy. 5. If the number on the scale rises, throw it out. 6. The first girl you ever “date” is going to call the police on you even though she lives three thousand miles away, because you’re going to tell her that you’re not in a good mental state shortly after you’ve “broken up”. 7. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 8. Break up with the boy who says, “You had a sexy phase!” when you tell him that you’ve dated a girl before. 9. Dating your friends is not always the best idea, but you can still be friends after you’ve broken up with her. 10. Your mother will try to become your best friend because you’re leaving for college soon. Let her. 11. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 12. Your closest friend will stop talking to you when you leave for college. 13. It’s okay to cry. 14. When you want to kill yourself, don’t. 15. When you cut yourself again, clean and bandage it. Do not be ashamed. 16. Your anxiety is going to try and control your entire life. Tell it to shut the hell up, because you’re trying to live and that task is hard enough as it is. 17. The past has a funny way of coming back in the form of you developing a crush on another friend. 18. Try not to hate yourself for breaking up with your boyfriend. 19. If you’re still smoking, apologize silently to your mother. 20. When you want to kill yourself, don’t.

that’s the way it was, you know? we’d lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and say, “if i go in tomorrow i will kill myself” and mean it all the way and then when the morning came, we’d get out of bed and sling backpacks over our shoulders. maybe that’s the reason everyone thought we were faking it: because we were so damn awful at going through with it. god, how many of my friends ended up underground. humans remember pain in odd ways. i know when you died i clutched my chest and howled for hours. it still hurts, but not as bad as it used to. i always think, “alright, i’ve lived through this enough times that i’ll be alright the next time,” but i don’t think we ever really learn how to be alright at all. and you hurt and you wake up and you remember the pain from last night in an odd way and you say to yourself, well, okay, i can handle today, it’s a wound but it’s healing. and then at night you say, no more of this ever again. and the cycle starts over again. god, but did i live for the weekends. what a waste of life that is: hating five out of seven days. what were they even supposed to be teaching us, because all i learned is that you can be bone-crushingly tired and so sad that the smallest things make you cry and you will still be able to put both feet on the floor the next day. i guess it taught me i could survive anything, but it wasn’t a lesson i think they kept in the curriculum. were we supposed to be so young and already know so much about sorrow? god, these quiet mornings. i hate remembering. i hate being.
