The bravest woman on Earth.

[unofficiallyjuni-deactivated201]

I love her. Forever reblog.

[theatsymbol-deactivated20210220]

I have the utmost respect for this woman. 

[the-dream-i-had]

please reblog. reblog the way you would reblog a picture of a hot singer, a pretty girl, a tasty meal or some nice stationary. Because this will not make your blog ‘less aesthetic’ or anything. This is important, far more important than anything I’ve mentioned before.

Silence your worries, silence your fears, silence all the pain inducing mind-cramping stuff that’s going in your head, and listen to your real self. Mine is saying “eat ice cream.” And Im going to do it cuz you know, its important :3

Your soft, tender, fragile, vulnerable heart is your greatest strength and the highest conduit of divine love for humanity to finally come together. Yes, there will be those who take advantage of its innocence and pure intent for their own selfish purposes under control of fear. Connected to the highest destiny of this planet through the abundance of compassion your heart has cultivated, you will learn to rise above these dynamics. At times when it is breaking as a result of this abuse of trust, its sensitive nature will feel like your greatest weakness. Don’t let this misperception fool you and most importantly, don’t let it make you hard. Let it break. Let it bleed sadness through the cracks. Let your light shine through and for the love of love itself, let it stay soft, supple and full of sensual vitality. This gentle, graceful softness is what soothes nervous systems, pacifies conflict and brings peace and harmony to situations where we are ready to learn from conscious, grounded love.

Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

a friend told me this today and honestly it might be my new motto for 2015  (via msh30)

Being abused can seriously affect your ability to distinguish between “not obviously pleased” and “obviously displeased” because abusers go from Neutral to Hostile for absolutely no discernible reason, and eventually you start worrying that everyone is going to be like that and you start feeling this urge to make absolutely sure that the people you actually care about aren’t mad or upset, because to you, “there’s no evidence that they’re not angry” is the same as “there’s evidence that they are angry”

Learn to say ‘no’ without explaining yourself.

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others’ faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

Someone who is worthy of your love will never put you in a situation where you feel you must sacrifice your dignity, your integrity, or your self worth to be with them.

Critics assert that modern students are losing their powers of critical thinking, but what we are actually seeing is that power in action: students are using their critical faculties to uncover structures of power in their own academic and social environments. They are clearly recognising that discourse and ideas can be powerful, and that is precisely why they struggle to reshape the discursive terrain, to change the conversation in ways that further their political and moral commitments. Humanities professors should be proud. This is what’s so odd about the language of coddling and hypersensitivity. If students are really so fragile, if they’re really hiding from scary ideas in a thoughtless cocoon of political correctness, why are they so often to be found out on the campus, demonstrating, protesting, petitioning and organising? That’s not what hiding looks like. It’s not what coddling looks like. In fact, the people showing greatest signs of coddling are those professors for whom the classroom has been a safe space for way too long. Now they’re apparently afraid that their “small or accidental slights”, as Lukianoff and Haidt put it, are going to get pounced on. They’d much rather students “question their own emotional reactions” than question the assumptions coming from the front of the classroom.
