Friendly reminder that there are 750 Quileute. Seven Hundred and Fifty. Think. For reference- how big was your middle school? (around that, maybe?) I think we tend not to understand how personal their inclusion in Twilight was. Smeyer took advantage of them. She's rich off of them and their culture. She exploited and misrepresented them. Seven hundred and fifty people. She could look each one of them in the eye and apologize in one afternoon and instead, she sits on 125 million dollars as if her hands are tied.

“This is just the way the world is,” they say. “Cruel, uncaring, and unfair.”

“Yes,” I say. “This is why I want to change it.”

“We can’t change human nature,” they say.

“No,” I say. “But I can change my own nature.”

Cruel, uncaring world, today I will be a little less like you than I was yesterday.

your future self loves you. they will look through old photos of you with affection, not disgust, nor embarrassment. they wish they could tell you stories of your future, of how much you’ll change, of the people you’ll meet, of how you’ll eventually learn to accept yourself, then love yourself. they will read your diary entries and poems and favourite lyrics, heart aching, tears in their eyes. if only you knew...

your future self loves you. if only they could show you. they are living proof. you’ll turn out okay after all. they wish they were there to console you, dance with you, and make you write it a hundred times: “I AM LOVED”. they will listen to playlists you made, just to experience you again. they will write you a letter - of forgiveness, longing, reassurance. you will never read it. but you will know.

If you experienced trauma in childhood or had a rough childhood, dude listen to me. Offer yourself play. You were deprived of it.

Keep bubbles in the house, blow bubbles in the yard, blow them in your room, get a coloring book that doesn’t have to be an adult one with mandalas, watch cartoons, laugh at stupid things, dress up as a superhero for Halloween, wear a Santa hat on Christmas and big light up snowflake earrings, lay down on the floor, lay down in the grass, eat eggos for dinner sometimes. It’s not stupid. You’re not childish. You’re giving your inner child what they had taken from them. They deserve it.

there is no shame in being soft

there is no shame in loving

That’s pretty much where I’m at :’) I miss my life. I miss my family. I miss the world I lived in. But now I’m here, and that’s so hard to cope with

What not enough people talk about when it comes to being in a system and not identifying with the body’s memories or life; is having your own life that you feel was ripped from your grasps. Grieving for memories, for people and experiences you’ll never get back

“What do you want to do with your life?”

I was a bit too busy learning how to survive as a kid to learn about myself

the way some of you interact with the anon function is totally irresponsible and has no consideration for the mental health and general happiness of the person receiving your asks and it’s just so infuriating. you just shouldn’t be sending people some of the extremely personal, uncomfortable and/or triggering statements some of you do without any kind of warning, and even sometimes with malicious intent, especially while completely removing any possibility of you being held accountable for them. and i know i can turn the ability to send anonymous asks off but i shouldn’t have to. YOU need to learn to behave. if you wouldn’t approach a stranger irl who has given you no reason to think it’s something they want to or are capable of discussing and say it, you shouldn’t say it to someone online. it’s genuinely that simple.
