Heal Yourself

Hi, I’m Liberty. I’m just trying to be honest. I’m hoping to heal myself one day. You never stop learning. Go forward slowly but confidently.

[fallingslowlyinthefall]

I’m feeling a little down. I’m having one of those life moments where you don’t really feel like you have anyone truly and honestly on your side (even though they might say otherwise).

Where are you then? You don’t text me back. He can’t see clearly. I just want to be honest but sometimes it causes more trouble than it’s worth. So then I’m just stuck I guess. Half happy, half sad. I don’t want a half deal. It’s too late. Just too late.

Oh well. I’m trying to be okay with it. You’re not supposed to understand but who else can I tell?

Also, I secretly wish I could see Noelle again, but I just don’t have the time or money.

Tumblr doesn’t care about Net Neutrality anymore.

Let’s take a look at some screenshots of an article I was reading earlier today…

Keyword: was. They don’t support net neutrality anymore. Why you ask? well…

Tumblr is owned by Yahoo. Now that Verizon (a company that hates net neutrality) bought Yahoo, they have demanded that Tumblr must stop supporting net neutrality too. The Tumblr staff has stopped posting about net neutrality.

This site is being forced to hate net neutrality. (article link)

Well I was going to switch to Verizon, but now is rather have shitty internet service than net neutrality. No way in hell am I supporting them by paying for their services.

If they destroy net-neutrality, teen suicides will skyrocket.

If this happens, people struggling with their mental health and/or abusive situations, especially teenagers, will have to pay for access to the many hotline/chat services for suicide/crisis prevention, mental health support, drug safety and intervention, and general information about life they don’t teach in school/sex ed. The many forums that exist for all types of disorders/illnesses, if they can afford to stay afloat, will likely come in a separate “Forum” bundle, too. And since we are talking primarily about teenagers here, they will more likely ask their parents to buy these things for them, which is a problem for very obvious reasons.

Have you ever talked someone down from suicide over the internet? Helped them when they were cutting? Gave them emotional support at a fragile time? Becuase without net neutrality, a lot of those people will be out of your reach. A lot of them rely on their internet friends, because they may live in a shitty ass place, full of ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and racism. This is their safe place, this is what keeps them alive.

How many people figured out that they are normal, valid, and ok, all because of the internet? I’m willing to bet a lot of you reading this. Perhaps, because of the internet, you found out what being transgender was, and you just knew. Maybe, you realized that being asexual didn’t mean you were broken. Possibly you’ve seen others go through your same struggle, with depression, anxiety, bipolar, phobias, etc, and suddenly you were not alone.

Now imagine the next generation of kids growing up without this.

since this post got deleted, here it is

So if my students finish a quiz/test early, I ask them to draw me stuff on the back (partly so those who need more time are less self-conscious about still having the test out, partly because fuck yeah, pictures), and it may be the single best decision of my career.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve told these kids that (a) the Romans believed there were demons in their public toilets and (b) the word for “janitor” comes from “ianitor”, which means “(door) guard”.

So now I’m getting drawings of superhero janitors taking on toilet demons, and it’s so beautiful.

[maverlok]

Aaaaand today a student showed me a video of himself lighting a fire in his toilet while chanting the conjugation of the word “to be”.

He said he wanted to recreate the ancient toilet demons, and I have concerns.

[interrobang-incorporated]

K… but why conjugations of to be?

[maverlok]

My students kept forgetting how to conjugate esse, so I turned it into a rhythmic chant that I had them say over and over. The problem is that when you chant ANYTHING in Latin it sounds like you’re summoning a demon, which they decided was awesome, so uh. Now I’ll just be randomly walking through the hallway and hear voices chanting, “sum es est! sumus estis sunt!”

I’m 99% sure my colleagues think I’ve started a cult.

Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m sure everyone will turn out all the better for it.

Secret

I hope she doesn’t turn out like him. It would be the biggest shame in the world for such a sweet, silly, beautiful girl to grow into someone so hateful and mean.

I am making a promise right here and right now to teach her. I will teach her that all humans are flawed and that just because he is her dad, it doesn’t make him right. I will teach her there is a wrong and right way to treat human-kind and the world and I will do it secretly if I have to. She is too good and I can already feel the impact of a soul like hers. If I succeed, I truly feel that she can change the world.

Hello! I hope everyone is having a magical night. I thought I’d share a little bit more of my life today. This is the table that is directly below our television in our living room. Functional for all members of our family. It gives me such a calm feeling.

We finally put up our new shelves and they look amazing! Maybe I’ll post a photo later.

We had such a busy day today; getting ready for our trip to Minnesota. My husband is excited to see his family and I am excited to introduce Evelyn to more of her family.

It’s going to snow! ❄️🌨

Sleep well!

Change is literally in the air.

The universe is telling me something.

I recently turned 22.

It really got me re-evaluating my personal growth and inner development. I realized there hasn’t been much change in that area and, as a result, some really deep old emotions and situations case floating back to the surface.

I’ve been thinking about change and how I can actively help myself heal and make peace or whatever with the past self. I have found myself thinking about this a lot lately. AND then. my Spotify starting playing these songs with lyrics about the past and change. AND then my class instructor assigned us to read and write about a book about-changing negative thought process, how to will yourself to change, and coping strategies for past emotional trauma.

I had to step back a minute. Does that sound like a coincidence? Or does it sound like the universe is telling me I need to make some substantial tweaks to my inner mind.

Growth is necessary and though the world around me has evolved I must ask myself, how much inner growth have I actually done? Any?
