being a formerly homeschooled southern Christian woman having a crash out is literally just that one scene from the King's Speech but instead of a speech therapist it's your atheist friend telling you that you're allowed to curse when you're mad.
imagine how great your life would be if you kissed me and were kind to me all the time
i meant to save that as a draft
imagine how great your life would be if you kissed me and were kind to me all the time
People be like "Who wears the pants in this relationship" Side B couples be like "neither of us, I'm a femboy and she's a lesbian, and the notion that wearing pants denotes taking the lead is stupid. Biblically speaking, Jesus wore the long robe in the relationship and He served all the functions, and Christians are called to love each other completely and give completely."
best way to avoid romantic tension when you're bisexual is to never talk to anyone ever again
pray for us lonely melodramatic girls who are lonely and melodramatic and probably that way because of circumstances
dude are you okay
tw: swearing, relationships, Christianity, honesty under the cut Please don't like or reblog this post unless you've read it in full.
You don't need a person who is (insert trait here). You don't need a soft uwu boy who likes the things you like, or a buff girl who always knows how to make you blush. You don't need a person who just thinks you're cool or beautiful. You don't need someone who has it all together and has processed all their trauma. (although these are all pluses) My brother and sister in Christ, you need a person who can take your honesty and who is humble. Because only God is perfect. You need a person who you can say "Get your fucking head out of your fucking ass" to when they have their head up their ass. You need a person who you feel comfortable confronting and being honest and yourself with. You don't want a person who punches a wall, or who runs away, or who makes up stuff to try and cool down the situation, or tries a diversion, or turns it back around on you or try to assert their control. You wouldn't want to marry a person you have to put up a wall a or a mask around and try to be nice to them all the time. News flash, people can't be nice all the time, including them and yourself! You would want to marry someone who sates their case, who explains themselves, but is equally honest with you and able to communicate through the frustration. Someone who asks "What makes it look like my head is up my ass?" if they don't know or someone who says "My head is up my ass because..." But not just leave it at that but want to genuinely get their head out of their ass, even if just for 5 minutes. Because in life, it will happen again. Everyone is bound to do something stupid. Please note I use the term head up the ass loosely to refer to a specific sin/grievance or a headspace that makes someone susceptible to that, and to emphasize the reality that things in close relationships get excruciatingly difficult, even if you both love each other. It's that way with partners, friends, and family too (but obviously it cuts very deep with a spouse.) I want you to have that mental image because that's what it FEELS like when you see someone is struggling with the same sin continually, or when someone does something that has really affected their outlook on life, or something that has really affected you or someone else. Please note that I never said you could call anyone a fuckhead or a dumbass because of what Jesus in Matthew 5:22 said. You have to address the SIN. the act of their head being up their ass. Because honestly, it's probably just as painful for them as it is for you. You can't devalue a human life, and you can't let anyone devalue you.
"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. You can't let your anger influence you to treat someone badly, but you can have righteous anger towards the problem. Again in Matthew 18:
If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. (please note this still follows the command 'love your neighbor as yourself)
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. (note how seeking outside help and working together is an option)
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
“I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." So you see, this is about finding someone who is willing to acknowledge their fault, but call out you on your BS as well, and also a call to you to be that person who is mature enough to handle it. Of course it's not easy, of course it's not natural. That's why God asks us to come to Him and to others when we struggle in a relationship, or even ourselves. Sometimes we need to forgive ourselves for having our heads up our asses and ask for others' forgiveness's and God's. It isn't our job to fix our sin all by ourselves. It's our job to acknowledge and call upon the God who does. It's our job to call upon God who helps all of us with all our sin and the hurt we cause each other, and to praise Him for it. It's our job to be honest with each other and ourselves about sin and about God. It's our job to accept help when God offers it through the people around us and set aside our pride. Yes I wrote this because I myself have had my fucking head up my fucking ass, and because I know and love people who have their fucking heads up their fucking asses and I hope and pray every day for us to get our fucking heads out our fucking asses because I know that God knows how fucked up humanity is. If You think He doesn't know or that He does but doesn't love us - try reading your Bible. For me, reading Ezekiel 16 and 23 (just the whole book honestly) is nothing but God telling the entire Nation of Israel that they got their heads up their asses, but that He loves them. That He married them and made a promise to them. And God keeps His promise. He spared the Nation of Israel and sends Jesus to them (and all humanity) through them.
disclaimer: I am not a pastor, or a nun, or a theologian, and I usually don't curse. I don't know a lot of stuff and I am still learning about God.
pray for all of us in Cyclone Alfred down in Aus, the storms haven’t let up and it’s likely that if it doesn’t die down, we’re gonna be hit with a category 2 all the way through.
Update: thank you all for praying! Alfred’s gone down to a tropical low storm and making its way through the mainland. However, plenty of us have no power for what’s expected to be the next few days. Pray that we all get power back sooner than later, and this storm can dissipate quickly too.
Update: holy kriff there’s so much storming post-Alfred please pray the clouds get broken up so fast so there’s no greater flooding or damage and we can see the sun again
That and power outages get resolved too. My house is still without and it’s REALLY suspicious when the skyscrapers in my bedroom view STILL HAVE POWER.
The power’s come back this afternoon! Pray it stays and still keep praying about the weather down here, roads have already closed due to flooding and even generators have been flooded too for other parts of the city.
Lord, I am not your strongest soldier, and this is not your hardest battle, but it is my hardest yet. I don't know how to fight it and win. But I know retreating wouldn't be your way, I am tired, please win this for me.
I used ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOR!!! it's not very effective...
did you try actually saying hi to someone, or did you just put your status as 'online' and expect everyone to DM you? Attention seeking behavior isn't necessarily bad. But it can be invasive and pervasive (getting in someone's personal space, shouting to get attention, pushing someone out of the way to get to someone else) Or it can be too subtle for someone to notice. Maybe people ignoring you isn't intentional. Understandably, having an online status flags your availability, but an available person might not know you want them to speak to you. They may assume you want to be part of a group, or want to talk to someone else. It's okay to say hi to people. It's okay to ask people to hang out. You are not a burden and your friends love you and enjoy your company. I know you. I know you're the kind who prefers people reaching out first. I know you see yourself as annoying because of the people in the past who told you that. But if you agonize and obsess over how difficult it is to socialize, that will just make it harder. Obviously not everyone is physically, mentally, or emotionally available and that's okay. But even if you don't get answers, it's okay to be the person who keeps showing up, who keeps reaching out first, who keeps networking. There will be times when someone picks up the slack for YOU and checks in on YOU. But be okay being the one who is doing the reaching out. No one knows what is going on inside your head, no one knows what you want. You have to communicate it. And I know it can be hard to communicate for fear of being misunderstood, but if you communicate very little or no information, people will fill in the gaps on their own. And I want you to know you are so worth it to talk with and to. You have a cool perspective on life, you look at finer details and connect them to the big picture. You find joy and hilarity in the little things, and you're warm and compassionate and care for others and their needs and try to see from their perspective. You are sometimes a little too soft and get mad at yourself when you finally DO speak your mind for fear of seeming too bold, but that's okay. You can own bluntness with the right amount of confidence. I know you may not want to hear it from me, you'd probably rather hear it from the people you're trying so hard to invest in. But please. Please. PLEASE give yourself a break and just say hi to someone. Tell them you like it when they talk to you, and don't be embarrassed about it. PEOPLE LOVE HUMAN INTERACTION YOU DINGUS
okay bye love you
I need to stop having crushes on people
all i want for Christmas is a guy to do things in person with and who tells me i'm pretty and treats me well and will give me hugs and listens to me
and is there for when i'm happy and silly and goofy and playful but also when I am sad and angy and confused and who likes to hear my stories from work on both good days and bad days
Regular friends do that too though I'm talking about wanting a boyfriend
Well I mean the minimum requirements of a boyfriend are to be at least as cool and loving as your other friends.
Yes I know I just wanted to be deliberate about wanting a boyfriend specifically

Tsundere girls' two braincells when they like their friends
who should confess attraction first
the boy
the girl
the non binary person
the fridge magnet right before it touches the fridge
what if i just... like... actually tell the person i want to talk to how i'm feeling instead of using vague comments about my deeper struggles and then trying to appear open about my problems by complaining about a smaller, "safer" more relatable struggle in a bit more detail, and then proceeding to say something positive to make it sound like I'm okay and don't need help when I want to grab them by the shoulders and tell them I'm not okay but I love them and would do anything to be okay and that I love them and that I don't want to give up but I'M NOT OKAY AND I NEED TO TELL YOU SO BAD EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT OKAY but I also need to tell you I LOVE YOU and I could get these problems off my chest if you let me talk about them for 5 HOURS STRAIGHT and then if we kissed and then moved on and proceeded to be besties and hang out together a lot more.
side b girls with crushes on their friends be like
it do bee like that
