The suicide rate for people aged 10 to 24 increased by 56% between 2007 to 2017, according to new data from the CDC.

For children aged 10 to 14, the suicide rate tripled between 2007 to 2017 after years of decline.

Suicide had increased among millennials, but the data suggests Gen Z might be most at risk for mental illness.

The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.

“I remembered once, in Japan, having been to see the Gold Pavilion Temple in Kyoto and being mildly surprised at quite how well it had weathered the passage of time since it was first built in the fourteenth century. I was told it hadn’t weathered well at all, and had in fact been burnt to the ground twice in this century. “So it isn’t the original building?” I had asked my Japanese guide. “But yes, of course it is,” he insisted, rather surprised at my question. “But it’s been burnt down?” “Yes.” “Twice?” “Many times.” “And rebuilt.” “Of course. It is an important and historic building.” “With completely new materials.” “But of course. It was burnt down.” “So how can it be the same building?” “It is always the same building.” I had to admit to myself that this was in fact a perfectly rational point of view, it merely started from an unexpected premise. The idea of the building, the intention of it, its design, are all immutable and are the essence of the building. The intention of the original builders is what survived. The wood of which the design is constructed decays and is replaced when necessary. To be overly concerned with the original materials, which are merely sentimental souvenirs of the past, is to fail to see the living building itself.”

— Douglas Adams (via valarhalla)

THIS! as a vegan latina, my pet peeve is when people say that vegan food is “cruelty-free”. it’s not. animal suffering is only one part of the equation.

This was one of my favorite things I made in school last year…!

“Shoutout to everyone making progress that no one recognized because you never let anyone see your darkest moments. You’ve been silently battling, winning and transforming yourself. Be proud of every little step you’re making in the right direction. Keep going. You got this.”
