Help Matthew Austin surprise his gf for Valentines Day

My girlfriend Shay and I met over facebook, and we hit it off instantly. Neither of us knew that we would end up being in a relationship and at the time I was really stubborn about it, it seemed really scary to enter a new relationship for me because of the things I went through. But Shay helped...

I know I don’t come on here often... In the last two months I got into a relationship with the most amazing person I’ve ever met. Her name is Shay and things have just been fantastic. The only difficult part is that she lives so far away (in Miami) I made a crowdfunding page so that I can maybe surprise her with a visit on valentines day. A friend already paid fo rthe airfare but I’d still need enough for a hotel. I can understand if you can’t/don’t want to donate, but if you could throw anything my way I would appreciate it so much. Thank you <3

here’s my fancomic of your dragons, floccinaucinihilipilificationa!

WHOSE UNDERWEAR IS THAT

This is not a fan comic, this is a super sweet comic on its own ლζ*♡ε♡*ζლ It’s hilarious!! And I love your personal twists on the dragons designs. You made them look more anthropomorph, thats so cool! I imagine them walking on two feet throw the city wearing a baseball cap. And the scales look to soft! And there is a heart on the the tail!!☆*･゜ﾟ･*(^O^)/*･゜ﾟ･*☆ Those are such sweet design choices, you have a great eye for that! <3 Thank you so much for showing me, it made me really happy! c: I hope that you were happy while drawing it too!

so much has changed this year. I wouldn’t even consider myself the same person I was last time I posted here to be honest. I used to make personal posts like this all the time with a readmore cause I didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. But I wouldn’t actually go out and talk to and open up to anyone either. It was like this passive state in between saying nothing and talking to someone about it. I don’t ever think about my future anymore. I mean, not past the next year or so. And that’s a pretty big difference for me. I used to have this specific ass cookie cutter image of what I wanted in my life, down to the exact detail. It was nice, and comforting for a while but... I guess that’s exactly why I needed to get rid of it. It wasn’t real. It was a way to escape what was happening in my life. That maybe I could hope that one day I’d have things exactly that way. I’m finally accepting that I’m young and figuring things out. Months ago I would have railed against the thought that I don’t know what I want or that I’m still figuring shit out but... it’s kind of freeing in a way. I don’t know if I want a spouse, or a kid. I don’t know where I want to live. Pretty much all I know is the kind of career I want, and that’s only vaguely.. When you go out looking for a specific idea or image of something you created in your mind to comfort yourself, you pass up anything real. You don’t.. allow things to grow on you, or love something for the sake of loving it. You just have this specific cookie cutter, trying to push anything into it that you think will fit, and if it doesn’t fit, even by a little? it’s gone. You become obsessed with a vague intangible idea of what happiness is instead of allowing yourself to look at real things that you can actually feel and experience and finding out whether or not they make you happy. I still have a lot of stuff to work on, but I’m really glad that it’s getting worked on.

Kind back but not really. Unfollowed like 50 people. I might come on every so often, but no promises, I’m still pretty tired of fandoms and cookie cutter humor and it’s difficult to eliminate that completely from my dash without unfollowing like everyone which I don’t want to do. I’ll see if I can find more posts and blogs I enjoy to keep me here

There is no form of hating fat people - including concern trolling or hating fat acceptance - that doesn’t amount to you saying, “Uh, excuse me, what made you think you could go around having a body without justifying it to me?”

When you talk about “fat” diseases - you’re saying: “uh, that body better be perfectly healthy in all instances forever before I give you my approval.”

When you talk about “it’s just not attractive” - you’re saying: “I think I made it clear that if your body isn’t pleasing to me, I’m not signing off on it.”

When you talk about “just eat less and exercise more” - you’re saying: “who gave you permission to live your life as you see fit instead of how I see fit?”

So let me just be clear: all anti-fat arguments are always and completely invalid because fat people will never owe you an explanation or justification for their bodies, their health, or their lives. 

Fat acceptance is simply the assertion of a right fat people have always had, and one it’s long past time others started accepting.
