One of the reasons I’m so intensely insecure and self-conscious is because everyone keeps talking about “be yourself” – but the moment you open up, you’re only accepted when “being yourself” is a certain type of self.  It’s really romantic that we push a magical version of vulnerable and unique, but the actual opening up part is dang hard and uncomfortable and requires a kind of love that most people won’t muster, since they’ve never really had to.  It ain’t like Hollywood, ever.  If you find the sort of friend who truly loves you, I mean the weird obnoxious squeaky sweaty you, however imperfectly, keep them close and forgive them for when they do not understand. Friendship will take more than once and more than the pretty picture in our heads.

I’m ok. I’m gonna be ok. I’m gonna live a beautiful life and I’ll get to know beautiful people. I will create things of beauty and be surrounded by flowers. And I’ll love myself, and I’ll be soft, I’ll be kind. And I’ll be ok.

Dear youngins,

When you start a job, WRITE DOWN THE DATE YOU STARTED. Also the date you ended, if it ended. Write down the address. Write down the supervisors name.

You have NO IDEA how many forms this will be on. Seriously. I dont care if you have to email it to yourself on your hello kitty email or something, write it down and keep it. 

[sacredgayometry]

Also!! The date any promotion or pay raise is implemented!!

[intj-confessions]

^^^ They seriously ask for this on so many job forms.

[asidewalksymphony]

Honestly, the best option is to keep it saved in some sort of document on your computer or phone. I use a certain template and just copy and paste it, and refill it every time I go to a new job. Maybe it’ll help others, so here’s the template I personally use.

(Name of the place you’re working at) Supervisor/Boss name: Address: Phone number: Job Title: Starting pay: Ending pay: Reason for leaving: Start (From): End (To):

It’s all shit that you’ll be asked on pretty much any job application. So go forth and be organized kids.

It’s important to understand how your partner likes to be loved

[adambuffett]

donkey says “really really” to shrek when reassuring him that he likes him, shrek later says “really really” to donkey when reassuring him that he’ll help him cross the bridge to fiona’s castle, and then shrek says “really really” to fiona when he tells her he loves her

in conclusion, donkey taught shrek to love and be loved

thanks for coming to my ted talk

I saw a news report about this on T.V., she was a straight A Student who had perfect attendance and everything. Everyone loved and respected her for her skills, but when she started this experiment and people thought she was pregnant, they started treating her like garbage. Even her teachers started looking down on her like she was scum of the earth. The only people who knew she was doing this as an experiment were her school principal, her health care teacher, her boyfriend, and her mother. Her own siblings thought she was pregnant! I mean even her friends turned on her, it was horrid. Very very sad, and as soon as she revealed during an assembly that the pregnancy was false, a lot of people were in shock as she brought up all the horrible things they said and did to her because they thought she was pregnant. The reason for the experiment was to see how people would react and treat her if they thought she was pregnant, as opposed as to treating her as the straight A “Perfect” student they usually did. And it proved that people were horrible scumbags to her as soon as they thought she was.

holy shit. this is fucking awesome

I read this chick’s book! It was so cool.

[kinkyconcepts]

Her book is The Pregnancy Project by Gaby Rodriguez

[boxlunches]

Pretty sure I reblogged something about this in the past, but now someone’s posted a book title and I want to read this book

[i-am-corbin-dallas]

I read the book and saw the lifetime movie

***SPOILERS*** 

She came from a family with a history of teen pregnancies but she was the exception to the rule. As her senior project she wanted to see how things would change for her if she “succumbed” to what was expected of her by society and statistics. basically she told her bf for his permission and one or two school officials (I think her sister or mother as well but I read it soo long ago).

The teachers who didn’t know immediately began to look down on her, most of her friends abandoned her. He bf's family told him to leave her and she basically became the school outcast. Only the other pregnant girls were friendly to her. At the end of the school year she made a big presentation to the school giving them facts about teen pregnancy and telling them about her experiences as a pregnant teen including things they had said to or about her. Then she finally revealed that she wasn’t pregnant. Some people were mad that she had tricked them but overall they understood why she had done it.

[northstarfan]

Assholes weren’t mad that she tricked them, they were mad because she exposed them for what they really were: a pack of shitheads.

Guys, I’ve been writing!

I haven’t written anything creatively for a good few months, but in just a couple of days I’ve written just over 1,400 words! Wow wow wow. Since it’s a totally random idea and not a real story with any form of plot, it probably won’t turn into anything, but still. Writing feels so good! *turns into jello*

relationship goals: having one

this is what the rise of pedophile culture looks like–little girls are being indoctrinated into beauty rituals at earlier and earlier ages to feed the misogynistic pedophilic male gaze.

this is what the intersection of capitalism and misogyny looks like–fashion and beauty products are being marketed to females no matter their age as long as is generates profit and feeds the male gaze.

this is what porn culture looks like–due in part to the widespread availability of porn, females are considered sexual objects before they are considered human beings and so no matter what, a female must always be sexually available and presentable to men.

[larpsandtherealgirl]

^Exactly. Please, when you see young girls who look like this, remember not to blame the literal children for their own oppression. They’re just trying to “fit in” and be accepted by their peers. Blame the fucking adults who sell them this image and profit from it.

[amurderofkittens]

Thank you for explaining what bothered me about children looking like that. I could never quite put my finger on it.

Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.

This really helps my anxiety.
