“and the worst part is that he brought out the best in me. whilst others made me feel drained and insignificant, he put the most life into me. a single text brought happiness coursing through my veins and a small smile pointed towards my direction sent me reeling from his beauty. he isnt perfect, nor am i, but i feel as though in some way we couldve been perfect for eachother. but, all he had in mind was to make me feel as special as can be, and not a second later leave me in a hurricane filled with sorrow and questioning. why wasnt i good enough for him to stay? though i am not the prettiest in the sea of girls, i couldve treated him the kindest. i was so ready and set on giving him all of me yet he took a step back right when i leaped.
perhaps it is my fault for getting so into it. ”
p.s. hello guess whos back…meeeee. (: im on summer break so you’ll be seeing alot of me.
p.p.s. this is my “poem” so sorry it was kinda lame. ill start posting (hopefully) more frequent. i love you guys so much.
wow, youve made it this far. honestly, you should be proud of yourself. youve pulled through the tough, and miserable times and youre still here. honestly, that is pure strength and i admire you for that. so, sit back and treat yourself to an award. because youre still breathing and your beautiful heart is still beating. thats something to celebrate.
does anyone else realize how messed up our generation is? like, okay, that sounds a bit overly clichè and overly used; but nonetheless it is true. there are young girls/boys, STARVING theirselves to feel beautiful or worthy. they feel as though they have to be a certain weight to be accepted. and thats just sad honestly. my favorite quote is, ‘we blame society but we are society’, because its true. we have the ability to accept or ridicule eachother and if that is not power then im not sure what is.
put it in perspective. lets say, you have a son, refusing to eat his favorite dinner and desert because he needs to ‘loose weight’. because, kids at his school put in his mind that he isnt lovely since he doesnt sport a six pack like them, or because his body type is different from theirs.
let me just ask, would you want to see your child starving theirself because they arent what society say they should be?
i wouldnt.
i understand that eating disorders are beyond serious, and arent easy to recover from. and i am not judging anyone whom has an eating disorder, or mental illness; im a judge free zone. what i am trying to say is that, seeing on social media, these people encouraging or promoting these things that shouldnt be tooken lightly is just heart breaking. i guess im a bit too self ritcheous, or whatever, but i feel as though we all should be there for eachother, not encourage one another into an illness that could very much kill you.
much love. x
i apologize for the lengthy caption, and for ranting. if i dont make sense, im sorry. i just felt as though it needed to be said. i did not in anyway mean to offend anyone. i love you guys.
if you kill yourself right now, youre killing the chances and possiblities that your life has to offer for you. i will be blatantly honest when i say this, life sucks, at times. it will beat you and make you question yourself, but you have to be able to get up and beat it back. because, its worth it. i cannot say enough how much living is worth it.
apologies for the lack of replies ive been giving out, stressful things are going on and honestly im not in a good place right now. i hope everyone can understand.
much much love, stay strong angel, i promise youll make it through. xx
youre going to make it through, and youre going to make it far in life. i know youve been having some trouble with yourself latley and im here to tell you, youre going to be okay. i can tell, maybe it wont be today, or tomorrow, or even next week; but it will happen. just keep pushing through love. this is your sign to keep going.
1. use a pen or marker to draw on yourself rather than a razor.
2. ring up a friend to distract your mind from the sad thoughts.
3. go for a run.
4. Talk to someone you trust about it. trust me I know it’s hard and scary, but releasing your thoughts does help more than you know.
5. Listen to music to entertain your mind.
6. The butterfly project. draw a butterfly upon your wrist and name it after a loved one (favorite celebrity, family member, friend, lover, ect) and think of it as a reminder that they’re always by your side no matter what. and if you ever do have the feeling of harming your beautiful self, then think of it as killing the butterfly and taking its life away.
7. please please remember that relapsing is a part of recovery and it’s okay. it does NOT mean you’re weak, actually it proves how strong you are enough to put effort in getting better. a smoker, or a drug user doesn’t get better over night, do they? no they don’t. it takes time, and that’s okay. As long as you get back on the wagon, you’re okay.
hey love, i know you’ve been having trouble with things lately and that’s alright. things aren’t meant to be easy, nor are they meant to be resolved quickly. everything takes time to fall into place, just be patient. youve made it this far haven’t you? please don’t give up, you’re going to win this battle and you’ll look back on everything and think to yourself “wow, i actually made it”.
Society, Burke pointed out, is an open-ended partnership between generations. The dead and the unborn are as much members of society as the living. To dishonour the dead is to reject the relation on which society is built – the relation of obligation between generations.
In case anyone else has the trouble i did with reading the green text, here’s all the text of the image.
Small brain: Automation is going to unemploy millions, so we need to create new busywork jobs to make sure everyone can keep getting paid and keep consuming.
Standard brain: We should institute a UBI (universal basic income) and fill the void of lost jobs with green new deal projects.
Mega brain: We should overthrow capitalism and build fully-automated luxury communism by democratizing the automation machines. We should also divvy up necessary work that can’t be automated so that each person is working significantly less.
Cosmic brain: “Full automation” (as implied by “fully-automated luxury communism”) is an unsustainable project that requires perpetual mineral extraction and which continues the individualist consumption habits of capitalism. We should use some automation where possible, but ultimately we ought to be transforming our relationship to labor and consumption in general. This will mean no new smart phones every year, fewer cars, less expectation of out-of-season food on store shelves, etc. - but it will also mean new avenues for conviviality and leisure, including the elimination of bullshit jobs, lots more free time, robust public spaces, more opportunities for festival and art, interconnected communities, and a renewed relationship with the Earth. Eco-socialism must remain international and future-oriented, but it can’t be based upon extractivist holdovers from capitalism. And so degrowth, decolonization, and de-alienation are central pieces to this puzzle.
The reason we feel alienated is because the society is infantile, trivial, and stupid. So the cost of sanity in this society is a certain level of alienation. I grapple with this because I’m a parent. And I think anybody who has children, you come to this realization, you know—what’ll it be? Alienated, cynical intellectual? Or slack-jawed, half-wit consumer of the horseshit being handed down from on high? There is not much choice in there, you see. And we all want our children to be well adjusted; unfortunately, there’s nothing to be well adjusted to!
