Clearing Up Ahead

The worst is behind us – we never have to go back ever, ever again. Look, just up ahead – a sunny inviting clearing....a space where we can rest, relax, reflect and reassess where we really want to go. A chance to decide who we want to be for the next part of the journey. Everybody needs that.

Ban Ivory Trade NOW. An elephant is slaughtered every 15 minutes - 96 a day. At this rate elephants will be extinct by 2025. If you love elephants and can't imagine our world without them, PLEASE HELP BY SHARING.

a relationship will not cure your issues, no matter how hard young adult books and films try to push that notion on us. if you have depression or bipolar or anxiety or whatever, getting into a relationship isn’t going to cure that or make it go away. person with illness + relationship = ill person in a relationship. please don’t put all of your focus on finding someone to fix you, focus on fixing yourself the right way.

Truth in these words. If you need to work things through, you have to go through them, not around them. There is no shame in getting help if you need it. Therapy saved my life.

Two seconds.

The problem with sites like tumblr. is that it gives the false impression that life is full of all these awesomely spectacular thrilling adventures, hilariously funny social moments, intensely romantic sexual encounters and a shit load of other wild things.  

The more you see, the more it confirms that it must all be true. Hell, look at how many images there are. Look at how popular this person is....

In a mere two seconds you think, "Wow, that one is really cool, this one evokes a strong emotion, I wish I had this, or I totally want that - on and on and on... Reblog. [click]." The next several minutes leave you wondering, "What the hell am I doing wrong? Why isn't my life like that? Why does everything around me suck so badly by comparison?"

The truth is, life isn't a GIF. It's a nice thought, but it just doesn't work that way. Frankly, it's more like a lot of days that are, well... just ordinary.

Before you go down the road of self-criticism and harsh judgements, take two more seconds. Think about the bigger picture. Did you ever wonder why nobody ever writes anything? Did you ever wonder about the people who spend hundreds of solitary hours behind a computer Photoshopping images just to post them online for complete strangers? What about those that campaign for Followers? What is that really about?

Life is good. The bottom line is, you have to be in it.  You have to be willing to take action, learn who you are and reflect on what is important.

so you guys know that race i was all excited about?

well last year my current mile time was seeded 4th, but this year.. it’s seeded 13th. idk why it got so much more competitive all of a sudden. and one of my teammates who is very very fast is running it (i thought she would run the 2 mile) so my like “heck yeah i’m gonna win” was kinda crushed. but i mean i can still go out and try to win and even if i don’t succeed it’ll be a good mile time, right?

Crap not worth saying.

"Oh, you are so beautiful. Love your hair. Such adorable eyes. Really like your nails."

YUCK. YUCK. YUCK.

Nothing but superficial bullshit.

Compliments that ring tinny and hollow.

After almost three months I still can’t wrap my head around it. Abby I’ve known you since I was five years old, you were four. We went to elementary school together. Your older sister was my big buddy. I have vague memories that float in and out my head of that time. Chorus in the upstairs room…
