It's surprisingly easy to sleep when you trying to avoid life.

400% of mental illness is thinking this is probably just how hard life is for everyone and you just can’t handle it because you’re a whiny baby who isn’t trying hard enough.

Reblog if you’re 30 or older

This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

Our good friend @quietpinetrees has brought his microfiction to tumblr and it is achingly beautiful.

social anxiety is realizing you’re lonely, not wanting to be lonely, being handed and opportunity not to be lonely, and still choosing to be lonely because despite every previous indicator that you would be welcome to join in on other people’s fun and stop being lonely, you’re still afraid that no one wants you around

We all have those characters where we say, “I love you. You’re precious. Now suffer.”

I'm pretty sure this is how Sarah Rees Brennan writes all her books.

If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.

22 Witty Illustrations of People’s Deep Dark Fears

Illustrator Fran Krause has created witty comics, called “Deep Dark Fears,” of some of his readers’ most irrational and bizarre fears. Although, some of the illustrated fears are unreasonable and can never happen, you’ll find that they are quite common.

To see Jane Austen’s writing desk, you have to go to the British Library in London. It’s in a glass case in their Treasures of the British Library display, across from one of Shakespeare’s folios and a few cases away from some Beatles sheet music. It is a very small desk, and foldable, designed to be easily stowed away, which it must have been often; Austen wrote in her parlor and would hide her writing whenever callers stopped by. At the British Library it is open, with very small spectacles pinned to one corner and the tiny notebook that held the first draft of Persuasion lying on top of it, splayed flat so you can see Austen’s fine, precise handwriting. Under the shadow of that desk, the disciplined confinement of her novels acquires visceral force. This much space was she permitted, and no more. In the display case next to Austen’s desk is Dickens’s first draft of Nicholas Nickelby, in a notebook that dwarfs Austen’s entire desk, with generous margins and looping, scrawly handwriting. It is impossible for me to imagine what Austen might have done with that kind of freedom, that kind of certainty of her own right to take up space.

The Real Mr. Darcy (via ccgwrites)

See, I’m edgy about dudes retelling Austen: she already had so much of her space and her words claimed.

But as you can all tell from Tell the Wind and Fire, I feel fine about taking up Dickens, and turning his story into my story: into our story, the best I can. We should all have that kind of certainty of our own right to take up space.

As someone who is 4'9, most people doubt my abilities. They do not believe I hold power due to my short stature. Any advice?

When you build your lair, make the doors tall enough to accommodate your own use, short enough that folk who doubted you have to crouch down uncomfortably to get through them.

Do the same with every table, chair – every surface.

I've always wanted a house just my size, so other (average sized) people can know what it's like not to fit in. It would also have the added benefit of keeping my guests to a minimum.
