Here’s How It Really Is

[jasmineimerel]

High School

“I’m so tired.”

“This sucks.”

“Can we go home now?”

“I’m bored!”

“You got food?”

“F**K”

“Did you get the homework?

“Why are you dressed so nice?”

“Ugh!”

“How much longer til...”

“I forgot to study.”

“Wait what?”

“I’m sooo tired!”

“That was due today?”

“Crap we have a test today?!”

“I don’t get it.”

“I hate freshmen.”

“idk”

“**SCREAMING**”

“I didn’t know we had homework.”

“No, I wasn’t on my phone.”

“Send me a pic of the notes.”

“I have to pee.”

“I don’t have enough time.”

“When will I use this is life?”

“I’m SOOOO tired!!!”

“Do you think he’s cute?”

“Do you think she’s cute?”

“Do you think they’re cute?”

“I’m starving!”

“When does this class end?”

Ring Around the Rosy

Ring around my rosy cheeks,

and try to catch my lies.

Fill my pocket with posies,

and try to crack my disguise.

Soothe my ashes quickly

before i fade away.

I fall slowly

No one wants to hear my cries.

We are all born so beautiful. The greatest tragedy is being convinced we are not.

Two-Minute Inspiration: #02 Beauty

I like to say that I think everything is beautiful. But that isn’t true.

War is not beautiful, hate is not beautiful, rape is not beautiful, discrimination is not beautiful. All these things are ugly.

But something I believe, with every fiber of my being, is that a person cannot physically be ugly. Of course, there are people you aren't attracted to, but you cannot deny that EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL.

Beauty is a subjective word, but there is beauty in everyone. There is beauty in the way you don’t shave your legs on the weekends, the way you smile and snort when you giggle, the way you try and reach the high notes of an Ariana Grande song and accidentally sound like a dying cat, the way your fat jiggles when you bounce around. Everything about you is beautiful. 

Today’s society doesn’t recognize that type of beauty. Today’s society paints an incorrect and unattainable illusion that is forced into our mind as an ultimate beauty. This image is fed to us day in and day out and ultimately makes us feel worthless. Obviously, you aren’t just going to sit there feeling worthless so you go out and try to fix these things that you were told are imperfections while also feeding into the hands of those who wish to get rich off of your insecurities. Now that’s ugly.

Beauty comes in every shape, size, color, age, nationality, gender, sexuality, human, animal, and plant. It is in us, on us, and around us. Stop listening to marketers and non-believers and start living your life. Your beautiful life.

“If I were to run, I’d run as a republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”

- Donald Trump, 1998

Plot twist what if Trump got together with a bunch of his buddies and decided to see if this is true and made a bet with them and this is all an experiment like in the Divergent movies to see how messed up humans can actually be.

When you procrastinate for ONE DAY and suddenly you’re THREE WEEKS BEHIND IN EVERYTHING

it’s literally the first week of school

Home

Home is a solid foundation.

Home is where love is grown and surrounds every living body.

Home is teasing each other and friendly competition.

Home is talking in funny accents and being your true self because no one judges you for it.

Home is too-tight hugs.

Home is laughing so much that you develop abs.

Home is where music sounds better and time flies faster.

Home is where you get fatter and everyone is proud of you for it.

Home is big families and movie marathons and sleep overs.

Home is lazing around and sleeping in.

Home is being too consumed with each other to worry about the rest of the world.

Home is where you are not only wanted but needed because

Home is where you belong.

i want to like. make a list of not-str8 historical figures bc ppl are tagging that walt whitman post like “omg wait really” & honestly yall deserve better.

Like, you know who wasn’t straight? Charlotte Bronte, who wrote Wuthering Heights. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who wrote Swan Lake. E.M. Forster, who wrote A Passage to India. Marcel Proust. Henry James. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Virginia Woolf. Herman Melville. Michelangelo. Leonardo Da Vinci. Socrates. William fucking Shakespeare.

And these are just (a few of) the ones we known about, because there’s a storied history of coded messages in literature that mean we are often looking gay metaphors in the face and not understanding them. We’re there, we’re out there, and I’m so mad that I didn’t know.

We have a history. We have a legacy. WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE.

صبر (patience)

It isn’t something passive. It does not mean that you get to do nothing and just let everything wash over you like a delightful ocean wave. It means striving and not frequently complaining. It means you control yourself when it comes to your words and actions. It means you do not always get to give in to your desires, but that you have to act for the betterment of you. I promise you that it is not easy, it is tiring and it is something enduring. But I promise you that in the end, it is worth it.
