i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

[groovian-whovian]

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

Click here to support Help My Dad Fight Stomach Cancer

Two months ago my dad was diagnosed with a very aggressive case of stomach cancer already in its later stages (stage 4). As of now over 75% of his stomach is covered with cancerous tissues which in turn makes it difficult for him to hold down food much less eat altogether. He has already lost a...

I normally don’t like to resort to this kind of thing but with recent months its become apparent that I won’t be able to handle this on my own so I’m reaching out to you all for any help you can spare. If you can’t contribute I urge you to at the very least spread this around. I’ve already taken to working two jobs while away at school and commuting 6 hours every weekend to see my dad and support my little brother while our dad is hospitalized. Additionally if anyone who’s had of similar experiences would be willing to share resources or advice it would be greatly appreciated as well.

My arches are just normal :(

Also today there was this Dr. Scholl’s foot assessment thing in a Bed, Bath & Beyond I was in and I took it and it told me I have normal arches so I’m super upset that I don’t have high arches because I want beautiful pointed feet and that just means I have to work a little harder than people who do have high arches. 

[ekaterinamaximova]

Honestly, it's really not bad to have normal arches. I do too, and if you work on them a little they look pretty good. And if you find the right pointe shoe they can look almost as good as high arched feet! I'm only on my third pair and I finally found ones that makes my average feet look really beautiful.
