you are worthy of love that doesn't hurt you. (love isn't meant to hurt you.)

It’s #PTSD Awareness Month and today we’d like to discuss some of the differences between PTSD and C-PTSD. #CPTSD stands for Complex-PTSD, and the main difference is that PTSD is usually triggered by a single event and can occur at any age, while C-PTSD is typically rooted in childhood and is triggered by several traumatic events that go on for a long period of time (usually years). Here are a few differences & symptoms.

Sure, other platforms may call them “followers” too, but only Tumblr can capture the feel of a faceless crowd of huddled masses trailing after you about a city block’s distance away, picking up pages of your diary or scrawlings that you drop on the ground as you walk along. Some of these people have been there for years. Some only joined the crowd last week. Collectively, the crowd is ancient and ageless. Who are they? What do they want from you? Nobody knows. Walk a little faster.

life really is just like. you meet people you love them and then you lose them and you never see them again. and it's inevitable and it happens to everyone and there's nothing you can do about it

it’s completely okay if the only person you can help today is yourself – that’s enough

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.

Sylvia Plath Daddy

[…]

If I’ve killed one man, I’ve killed two— The vampire who said he was you   And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now.

There’s a stake in your fat black heart   And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you.   They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I’m through.
