night's sleep for 12+ hours: i want to lay here forever if i have to leave this place terrible things will happen

night's sleep for 9 hours: i am a human animal and i will eat a meal and exercise while engaging in social intercourse

night's sleep for 6 hours: im up im awake im doing stuff I'm good

night's sleep for 5 hours: the world is fundamentally an evil place

night's sleep for 4 hours: the world is an uncaring place

night's sleep for 3 hours: the world is made of a thin film of breakable craftpaper

What we’ve gotta understand is that “the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults” and “the modern Internet is abolishing space for children” are compatible phenomena. Neither group is being favoured: the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults (i.e., because grown-up topics aren’t advertiser friendly) and the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for children (i.e., because online communities which consist principally of people who have no money are hard to sell things to). The Internet that contemporary corporate interests are trying to build isn’t a space for anyone – it’s the digital equivalent of an Ikea showroom.

I say this with the best intentions in mind and i'm not being malicious with it. Since you're very deppressed and talk as if you have nothing to loose (at least emotionally), why don't you start acting out? Going to clubs alone, doing drugs, being reckless? I know this sounds like bad advice but having a reckless wild druggie period helped me a lot socially and all. I was miserable back then but I got sober since and I'm very happy. Worst case scenario, something really bad happens but you're already engaging in suicidal ideation. What do you have to lose?

i’m obsessed with this ask i love it so much. i can’t argue with this logic

Symbol of Ardra Nakshatra ( 6°40′ to 20°00′ Gemini): Raindrops, Teardrops, Storm, A human head & Diamond

a storm : dangerous and destructive side of mother nature but at the same time storms act as natural cooling systems of this planet, through lightning it create more ozone, bring rain to the areas where it was much needed, replenish the underground water. Deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra, the god of storm. Rudra & his female counterpart Rudrani were born when Brahma became extremely frustrated with creating beings to populate this universe. Similar to the storm, Rudra & his offspring were fiery, destructive, angry, dangerous, howling. Ardra signifies the frustration that creativity brings ,shows us the things that we have to overcome before we are able to create what we desire. Just like the storm, it represents the need for destruction, importance of rest, starting with a clean slate, forgetting & letting go, discarding things do not serve us anymore. It reminds us that creation & destruction go hand in hand and they both need each other. Anger and destruction also serve a purpose.

Teardrops cleanse our pent up emotions & grief like raindrops replenish nature. Additionally it symbolizes the source of all sorrow, sadness & grief.

Diamond shows their strong determination & brilliance

Ardra is also represented by a human head ( Brahma's 5th head ) which symbolizes ego, arrogance, lust.

when i was a young woman on tumvlr ten years ago everybody liked american football, tigers jaw, ajj, and teen suicide. and we all had a little tin plate with a candle on it, and we needed to be careful not to let the candle go out because we needed it to read the posts. one time a mutual told me they were scared of their candle going out while their phone was charging at night. the dashboard didn't have the overhead fluorescent lights yet. and we had fan mail, and we liked that comic where the girl is a possum. and the stock market crash hadn't happened yet. i made a lot of money selling my tunblr stocks and i bought a boat. i would take the boat out to sea and lie down on the deck and go on tumbr and answer fan mail, but i had to use the candle to read the fan mail, because we didn't have lights yet. it was very dark back then, and one time i fell into the gap between two posts and twisted my ankle. and some people liked elvis depressedly, also, but i can't say that i was one of them.
