“I had a rough time in high school. I was in a very deep depression. I’ve always been on the heavy side, so I got bullied a lot because of my size. I didn’t have any friends. There wasn’t a male figure in my life to talk to. Some people cared about me, but I blocked them out of my life. Someone told the school guidance counselor that they’d heard me talking about suicide, so I got sent to the psych hospital for nine days. I was the oldest one there. I met kids who were a lot younger than me, and who’d been through a lot worse things. One of the girls had been raped. The younger kids would come to me for advice, and for the first time I felt like a leader. I left the hospital with a different mindset. I realized that I wasn’t on earth to be helped, but to help others.”

Ci sono giorni in cui riesci a stare a galla e riesci anche a sorridere mentre lo fai.

Ci sono giorni, come oggi, in cui a dispetto di tutti gli sforzi, quel sorriso, proprio non esce e a dispetto di tutto il tuo arrancare la vita ti butta sott'acqua.

A volte la gente quando m'incontra crede che io sia una stronza pretenziosa, ma voglio solo poter stare tranquilla, poter vivere la mia vita senza continui scossoni e drammi, ovvio nemmeno tutta rose e fiori, siamo esseri umani.

Mi ripeto che la vita ci serve i bocconi che possiamo digerire, mi domando che stomaco mi sia stato dato, ma soprattutto perché.

Mi domando il senso di dover arrancare a questo modo di continuare a…

Oggi è un giorno no, devo solo respirare, continuare a respirare, mi addormenterò e domani sarà un altro giorno.

There are day when you can float and can even smile while doing it.

There are day, like today, while in spite of all effords, that smile, just doesn’t come out and in spite of all the trudging life throws you under water

Sometimes people think I’m a pretentious bitch, but I just want to be quiet, to live my life without constant shocks and dramas, obvious even all roses, we are humus being, after all.

I tell myself the life servers morsels that we can digest, i wonder what kind of stomach has been given to me, but mostly why.

I wonder about the meaning to trudge this way to go on…

Today is a no day, i just have to breathe, keep breathe, fall asleep and tomorrow will be another day.

Remeber: being different doesn’t mean to be less than other people or do not deserve the wonderful gifts life lay on or way, it means you have to be braver, stronger and more aware of the world around you. Make up, hair, body proportions, sizes, clothes don’t define who you are. Love yorself for the lessons you’ve learnt and all the lessons you’re going to learn. This journey (life) it’s not a straight way to somewhere it’s full of turns and sometimes you walk a tiny dark path, but you can always find a light, the light that comes from within you.

Hi, today I decided to be happy. Remember to breathe. Remember I can’t be always in control. Babysteps and easy task. I’ve studied for the wicca study group I attend and finished my purse project.

Leelah Alcorn was a 17 year old transgender woman artist. She grew up in a very religious Christian family. When she came out as trangender to her parents they told her it was a phase and sent her to therapy. The therapies they sent her to were religious ones that told her things like god makes no mistakes, told her she was selfish, and that the only way to cure depression was to follow gods path. She came out as “gay” at school so people wouldn’t be as shocked when she came out as trans. Her friends were accepting but her parents called her an embarrassment. They took away all electronics for 5 months and kicked her out of public school.

She was an artist. he drawing above was drawn by her. 

She committed suicide on December 29th due to the transphobia caused by her family. Please remember her and the other transgender people how lose their lives to transphobia.

Bimba

Mi vergogno ancora quando mi sorprendo a pensare che era meglio che fossi venuto a mancare. Volevo solo essere la tua bambina. Lo so che è colpa tua, solo colpa tua, ma d o po 21 anni nn riesco ancora a perdonarmi, come se in qualche modo fosse stata mia la causa del tuo distacco. Volevo una vita normale. Mi sono costruita fantasie per 21 anni, ma sabato prossimo il cerchio si chiude e non c'è fantasia, parola o dimostrazione d'affetto che possa cambiare quello che non è stato. Volevo essere normale. Volevo essere la tia bimba.

No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your ‘religious freedom.’ If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.
