Going through my blog and deleting everything that’s harmful. That’s 8,000+ posts from 2010-2014. Honestly, this is actually pretty hard and I just began a few minutes ago. I’m sad for the girl I was and what I believed to be true about beauty. I’m especially sad that I promoted things that weren’t of substance and love to so many people, I’m sorry. My blog has been closed off for a while now as I’ve set aside around a year and a half to just... be. To recover from distorted views and learn to live. It has been hard yet beautiful and great and full of tears from frustration but so many more tears from happiness and finally clicking with life. Now I’m ready to share that with all of you beginning with erasing everything on this blog and starting new.

don’t make fun of people with acne and hyper pigmentation. EVER. u will block ya blessings. not everyone has clear skin. having acne has nothing to do with hygiene or how many times a person washes their face. acne can be hormonal. acne can be genetic. ALSO! stop shaming people for covering up their acne scars and hyper pigmentation with makeup! not everyone was blessed with flawless blemish free skin!

GUYS, THIS IS IMPORTANT. I’ve been a lifeguard for four years, and I didn’t fully appreciate this until a little kid jumped into the shallow end of the lap pool. He wasn’t flailing. His eyes were wide in panic and h would try and push himself off the bottom, but the water was right over his head. It took me a couple seconds to register what had happened, and fortunately, another swimmer right beside the kid managed to grab him when he saw my reaction.

My mother and I run a water safety non-profit organization and this is one of the things we teach. In movies someone who is drowning always yells and screams and it’s very dramatic and obvious but in real life you really have to be paying attention

[pseudonymsobriquet]

I was on holiday in Egypt when I was 14, and there was a 4-year-old Italian boy I had to save because no-one else even thought he was in trouble. Luckily, the water wasn’t too deep and only came up to my waist, but the kid was so small it covered his head. All he did was gasp for air and angle his head up, and tried kicking off the pool floor while reaching his hands up. I sat him on the edge of the pool in the shallow end and then his mother came over and thanked me.

I didn’t think much of it then, but I saved a life that day.

THIS COULD LITERALLY SAVE A LIFE.

After 2 years of lifeguarding and many more of competitive swimming I can verify this. Drowning signs are eerily quiet. It helps to catch them early. The pool I worked at had a large amount of regular clients. I’d always keep an extra lookout for people I didn’t recognize since I didn’t know their swimming ability. Their face aiming towards the sky is the first thing they’ll almost always do. Especially children.

Just saw the notes on this… wanna say something real. My heart was broken when I took this photo. Just want you guys to remember that everyone has tough days. Whenever it feels like the pain won’t end just be strong, please. It ends. And when you look back on it, like I’m looking at this photo now, just pass along the message so that someone somewhere knows they’re not alone. xx G

I love her! Seriously, what a lovely person who's grounded and so passionate about what ever she does.

its really important for men to stand up to other men who say terrible and sexist shit

because sexist men dont listen to what women have to say

[bustysaintclair]

literally the most important thing men can do if they want to call themselves feminist allies 

[fabfeminista]

Yes because unfortunately men’s opinions are far more often heard and considered

"Becoming homecoming king is kind of the only normal teenage dream I’ve had. I was really surprised, though, that I was nominated. I didn’t think it was attainable because I’m trans. But now I feel like I could get it. I’m taking the steps that need to be made for progress among the transgender community. I’m just trying to make the T in LGBT not so silent."

1 cup of oats, 3/4 cup of soy milk, 1/4 cup of agave nectar, 1 tablespoon of soy butter, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and plum or apple slices 🌟 Pop it in the oven for 15 minutes on 375, and you're set. It's quick, dang near effortless, and SO good in a bowl with some vanilla soy or almond milk.
