Already posted this on my instagram account and all so hopefully none of you guys know me irl lmao but TW: suicide attempt

365 days of memories. 365 days since a Christmas party, spiralling, and a knife. 365 days since the police sirens, and the trip to the hospital. 365 days since white walls and neon lights, and a stay-over I so wished I’d never have to participate in. 365 days since I lied and said I’m fine, so that I would get sent back home. 365 days later, I’m thankful for every breath I take. For the life I get to live, and the life I almost took from myself. 365 days later, I have a dog, my dream apartment, and I live the life I wanted to live when I was 12 and things were so dark. 365 days ago, I almost crossed the rainbow bridge because the perpetrator lived and breathed and smiled when I barely survived. I thought, if they can be so happy after what they’ve done, what’s the point? It took me 365 days to realize that they win if you give up. So here’s to never giving up, and to the next 365 days of memories I’ll get to make✨

I’ve been seeing a lot more people posting about this so,

To the friends that have to step being the others as they walk down the footpath together, I love you

To the friends that have to text first otherwise no one will talk to them, I love you

To the friends that are spoken over and messages brushed off, I love you

To the therapist friends that are always there but know deep down no one will offer them the same, I love you

To the friends slowly realising these people don’t care for you as deeply as you do for them, I love you

To the friends that have to sit out in group projects, I love you

To the friends that have their friends jump to negative conclusions about you no matter what, I love you

To the friends that understand loneliness in a full room intrinsically, I love you

Please remember you’re treasured and important,

I love you, you’re beautiful and amazing, I’m so sorry for everything that’s happened to you

Please don’t give up hope

The wind, rain and stars hold your hands, the trees kiss you goodnight and the rivers sing praises of your name, even if you can’t see it, you’re loved

To my friends that I don’t know the face or name of, the friends I’ve never met, the friends reading this, I love you

hi everyone!! Please take the chance to read this if you have the opportunity if not, I understand but I just wanted to address a few things that I’ve been seeing lately and how I’m feeling. I’m so sick and tired of people leaving or feeling forced off of a site where they have curated their own safe space.

It is okay to have problems with people on the site, but I think to constantly be fighting and dragging peoples names through the mud, blatantly ignoring them when you say your friends, or being indirectly, shady is just incredibly dumb and petty. It is exhausting. I don’t know how some people are constantly in the situations, but it is so tiring.

Maybe I’m at the age where this really irritates me. However, I just feel like I’m 24 and you do not have to like me at all and you do not have to like my page. I would rather you block and just move on. I do not like people shaming my character when they don’t know me or if there was a miscommunication. If there’s ever a problem with me, please come and talk to me because I never want to feel like you aren’t able to do that.

This is a reminder yet again that my blog is a safe and inclusive space for all (all being 18+). And however, it is my blog first and if I feel someone is making me uncomfortable in that space, I’ve created I will have to block you. That is not something I want to do but please respect my boundaries as I respect yours.

Thank you and I love you all 🖤

Long rant, not negative but i need to get it out because i feel like people need to read this as well.

typed this in a frenzy the other night but also have been thinkin about this a lot.

AAA DAMN

People, followers, moots

listen to me when I say

do NOT FUCKING COMPARE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS!! THIS MEANS FAMILIAL, ROMANTIC, PLATONIC, EVERYTHING

it doesn't matter if you're in a relationship or not or hell, it doesn't matter if you don't even want a relationship!

I might sound like a hypocrite saying this, but please, just because your relationship is different from the next doesn't make it any less of a relationship!

Yes, my romantic relationship is filled with flirting and flustering

yours isn't? That's great!

yours is? That's also great!

You're not in a relationship? Dude that's great too!! even if it doesn't feel like it!!

ALSO

FUCKING

DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T STARTED DATING ANYONE YET OR IF YOU'VE HAD RELATIONSHIP ISSUES IN THE PAST

IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARENT 'WORTHLESS' OR 'UNWANTED'

Look, I used to feel godawful about being single because I felt unwanted. I know how awful it feels. I know how it feels to see all of the people around you getting into relationships and you're left behind.

hell, I was a scapegoat. I was a plan b. I was 'the other one'.

Your relationships with other people, in any sense, do not define you.

TL;DR: don't be mean to yourself if you do not have a relationship like your peers, or one at all

This one goes to the students who feel like they haven't achieved anything such as medals, honorary titles and others;

It's okay.

Studying is, already complicated as it is nowdays, and you don't owe anyone anything either. You're literally just trying your best in this very fucked up schooling system we are in. Even if you feel like you could have been more at one point or that you could have been so much more than what "you ended up being", it's okay.

You are already going through enough for others to put you down for such a thing or for yourself to do that to you.

Of course those things are great to get and are normal to want to achieve. But you not having them doesn't make you any less great of an student. You're here. You're trying. And that's what matters at the end.

You don't gotta have an physical thing to prove that.

So, I've been thinking about this whole being happy thing, and I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We're always thinking that someday we'll be happy; we'll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that will fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it's a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry, it's not permanent. It comes and goes, and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness more often.

this is your daily reminder to be kind to yourself.

if you had a bad day, put on your favorite comfy clothing item. eat something that makes you happy. drink something that makes you feel warm.

tomorrow will be more kind if you’re kind to yourself today.

Hello there! I have been struggling a lot at work and at home and my mental health has been suffering as a result. Lately, I have been really down on myself and am struggling with self-depricating thoughts. If you're not too busy, could I please get some encouragement from Hunter and Tech? Thank you in advance! ❤️

Of course! You're not alone.

Tech and Hunter watched you closely. You weren't vocalizing all of your thoughts, but you didn't have to. They could tell by the look on your face that something was wrong and had been for some time. They both got up and approached you.

"What?" You looked between them.

"What's going on in your head right now," Hunter asked, noting every frown and furrowed eyebrow.

You shrugged. "Just thinking about work and things I need to get organized." You sighed a little to yourself.

"Ah, but that is not explicitly what you were thinking," replied Tech.

"What do you mean," you asked.

Tech clarified. "You have been incredibly hard on yourself."

"You think your mumbling and faces you make get past me," Hunter asked with a knowing look.

All you could do was look between them. They weren't wrong.

Tech gently put a hand on your shoulder and moved you to face Hunter.

"Now," he said, "I want you to tell Hunter what you were about to say to yourself, but say it about Hunter."

You looked at Hunter, his compassionate eyes looking back at you. You thought of all the ways you were trying to tear yourself down and pictured yourself saying those same things to Hunter, about Hunter. It was so incredibly cruel. You couldn't do it.

"I can't be mean to you," you said to him.

"And you shouldn't be mean to yourself either," Hunter replied.

He pulled you in for a hug while Tech kept a steady hand on your shoulder.

Hunter spoke softly as he held you. "Whenever you are thinking of saying anything unkind to yourself, we want you first to imagine saying that same thing to us, to our faces. You can't because you care. You need to extend that same grace to yourself, cyar'ika."

"And you can always come to us," added Tech. "You are not alone. You are so very loved."

He gave your shoulder a squeeze and you could see a soft smile.

"You're doing your best," said Hunter. "You don't need to be mad at yourself for that."

when i was still questioning myself and thought i was cis, i was mostly asked one specific question: “if you could press a button that would make you the opposite sex or a different gender, and it would make it so everyone has only known you as that sex/gender, and you were born as that sex/gender, would you press it?”

of course, i always said yes, and i didn’t think much of it. after all, “even cis people would press the button, right?”

well, when i was still questioning myself and thought i was cis and got asked that question, the answer was almost almost always no. that completely 𝘣𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘥 me. i mean, who wouldn’t pass up that amazing opportunity?

i’ve been thinking about it a lot, and i realized: me thinking any and every cis person in their right mind would press it was definitely denial, and me trying to think my way out of the reality i was in. if you were truly happy with the gender/sex you were born with (which for the record, i wasn’t), you most likely wouldn’t press the button.

i’m not telling you that if you would press the button without a second thought like i would (or if you would press the button with a second thought, third, fourth, hell, maybe a fifteenth thought) that means your trans, i’m just trying to say that if you would press the button no matter how much thought you put into it, being trans might be a very real possibility for you, and it might be something you should to look into

reblog this if you think this could help someone, to give this more reach, and to save an egg. with that, this has been a psa

to the boys, girls, neithers, boths, or in-betweens, in my touch screen walkie-talkie radio, have a great whatever time it is at where you are

[enii]

Today, I did everything for myself💕

[starlight-and-snowflakes]

It's okay to do things slowly!! It's okay to take your time!! Who cares if something took you longer than expected or you know you're capable of doing it faster! Who cares if you did something at a later time than planned! You still did the thing! Be proud of yourself!

[jerirose]

May he rest in peace and may we remember him as the shining bright star he was. I was always taught to celebrate the life the person had; allow yourselves to process and mourn, but do not allow his radiance to be forgotten. My condolences to everyone affected by today's tragic news.
