look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence…”

Recovery is staying in bed on the days where that is the only thing you have the energy to do, and being OK with it.
Recovery is listening to your body
Recovery is not letting the negative thoughts overcome you
Recovery is realizing there is good and bad in every day
Recovery is never giving up
Recovery is knowing that relapses happen and pushing yourself back up after
Recovery is hard
Recovery is messy
Recovery is painful
Recovery is powerful
Recovery is invisible until you look back and realize how far you have actually come
Recovery is the strength to get back up
Recovery is standing up for yourself
Recovery is being proud of who you are
Recovery is confidence
Recovery is self love
Recovery is the good and the bad
Recovery is acceptance
Recovery is love
Recovery is important
Recovery is feeling good about your body
Recovery is eating even if you aren’t hungry
Recovery is trying your best
Recovery is reaching out for help
Recovery is finding some alternatives to your self destructive behaviors
Recovery is honesty
Recovery is not a race
Recovery is different for everyone
Recovery is life

“i was just coasting till we met, you remind me just how good it can get.”
— I’m with you // Vance Joy
It will be your time soon. Have patience.
i was looking at old photos and i wanted to show you how our story went, a little
bronwyn and i met at age 12 but i dont have any photos from then, really, but this is from grade 9 science class when we were being goofs and i was 13
this is from our first ever sleepover, we couldn’t stop laughing and we were sleeping on a mattress on the floor and we went to boston pizza and got plastic rings that we both still have (bronwyn kept hers on a necklace after that)
i went to bronwyn’s cottage for the first time in the summer after grade 9
we had our first kiss in grade 10 when i was 14 and were in a weird kind of dating limbo period
then i moved to the states and turned 15 and told bronwyn i was in love with her and we visited every chance we could and she sent me flowers and packages
then i went to junior prom with her and bronwyn cut her hair
then we had the most beautiful summer where i spent 5 weeks at her cottage and i cut my hair
then i went back to miami for 12th grade and turned 16 and bronwyn was 17 and we went to senior prom together
then i moved back to canada for university when i was turning 17 and we finally lived in the same place again and we loved each other so much and got breakfast together every day
then after a beautiful summer we started living together when i was 18 and bronwyn was 19 and we went to bahrain together and bronwyn dyed her hair brown and now i get to see her every morning and every night and we adventure in our city and have a coffee shop and love each other more than i could have thought. there were periods of scary intense darkness but we love each other so much and i’ve never been happier. i’ve known bronwyn since i was 12 and now i’m almost 19 and i love her more and more.
i’m never on here anymore, but i wanted to share that almost a month ago bronwyn and i got engaged!! under a beautiful tree on a perfect day and for the rest of my life i get to pursue her and care for her and make her laugh. i’ve said this so many times but now more than ever: if this is all i get, it’s so much more than i could have hoped for.
This makes me so happy
this is the future gays want
You know what strength is? Forgiving a person who wasn’t even sorry.

I find it hella attractive when a girl has a smart mouth on her and can be a little bossy. Like yes, boss me straight into your bedroom.
