Pan, non-binary

A replay of the night my SO first kissed me

Empathy and humor

Beautiful hair and genuine smile

Cats

Pretty young so always I guess.

Cute animals usually

Not really, maybe Montero? Or Eugene?

Definitely the community of people like me

You don’t need to put so much emphasis on your label, just express yourself in a way that’s safe if you have some safety, if you don’t you’ll be an adult soon enough. Leave your unsafe place and find your family related by experience instead of blood. Even if you’re not okay now, you will be.

Honestly. Dead or still depressed… don’t be like me. Please.

me: *comes into my room*

I made this for my own use, because I needed to track my energy levels, but other people might find it helpful.

It might need some changes to be useful to more people, so if anyone can think of improvements I could make, let me know!

Also, I’m having trouble typing an image description on my phone so if someone could help out with that I’d be grateful.

don’t connect the dots

don’t notice a pattern

everything is purely coincidental

idk who needs to hear this but

I’m getting tired of seeing a “healthy relationship standard” being something along the lines of “My s/o coddles me every time I have an anxious thought and repeatedly reassures me about the same thing over and over again!” like obviously yeah, being a shoulder for your partner when they’re having a bad time is great. Reassurance is vital. HOWEVER:

People DO get tired of you not being able to self soothe literally ever and relying solely on them to be your emotional stability. Be considerate of your partner. Take care of yourself sometimes. If you cannot, it is not healthy for either of you.

Fictional worlds for a fictional kid like me

Me: Why am I so tired???

Also me: *has multiple chronic illnesses, multiple mental disorders, stretches myself to the max, only gets about 4-5 hours of sleep per night*

Me: There’s literally no reason for me to be this tired

just a reminder:

kids and teens are allowed to be angry without having that anger dismissed as a “tantrum” or “hormones”. they’re allowed to be angry with adults, including their parents and teachers, without being dismissed as “disrespectful”.

they’re allowed to be sad without being dismissed as being “moody” or “whiny”. they’re allowed to feel resentment without being dismissed as “ungrateful”. they’re allowed to be uncomfortable without being dismissed as “oversensitive”.

they’re allowed to feel restless without being dismissed as “badly behaved”. they’re allowed to feel lonely without being dismissed as “attention-seeking”. they’re allowed to be tired without being dismissed as “lazy”.

young people’s emotions are valid, despite the fact that our language has an entire vocabulary designed to make them feel otherwise.

TATTOO PSA

SO I HAVE NEVER ONCE SEEN A POST LIKE THIS. AND OBVIOUSLY TATTOO ARTISTS AREN’T GOING TO MENTION IT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

IF YOU ARE A RECOVERING SELF HARMER AND ARE PLANNING ON GETTING A TATTOO, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF CUTS. WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY TRIGGERING.

THE SCABS ARE SUPER SIMILAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GETTING WRITING OR FINE LINES. AND IT ITCHES JUST LIKE HEALING CUTS DO. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED. NO ONE REALLY TOLD ME AND I GOT A HUGE REALITY CHECK THIS MORNING.

THAT IS ALL

My therapist said “I have to show you something on my phone!”

It was this:

[beautifulsoulsunseen]

Ella Dawson has genital herpes, and she wants to tell you about it. 

She’s not speaking up for the shock value — she’s telling you because she wants all of us to be able to talk about STIs without shame or stigma. When we make it okay to talk about, she says, people are more likely to get tested and less likely to be afraid to share their status. 

In her badass talk at TEDxConnecticut College, Ella tells the story of her diagnosis, how she overcame feeling like “human trash,” and why we need to end the stigma — now. It’s packed with information (and a shot of humor), and if you didn’t already agree with her, you will by the time she’s done.

Watch the full talk or read the transcript here.

(Full disclosure: Ella is TED’s social media manager. This post was written by her boss who is so incredibly proud of how fearlessly she speaks out.)
