Moments.

Nothing ever lasts longer than a moment..

Obscure

hundreds of points of comparison are far from enough when trying to figure you out.

miles are not the only thing I know how to measure distance with. for example, there is silence.

let's pretend for a second that our histories have gone on vacation and it's just us and our words don't echo and

absolutes don't matter all that much. north of zero can be good enough. can we dwell on that thought for a second?

cracks in the walls give away the things we try to hide and we lay down naked, holding hands looking for reasons not to stay together longer than we have to as

if such constraints mean anything to people like us.

call it whatever you must. We can at least agree to disagree that some things are not usual and that's okay. There's no pressure to assign roles and names. Instead, I look forward to making sense.

- Depression/ is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world, and it’s also one of the most easily missed. While most people would describe it as a prolonged period of sadness, it’s much more than that, and it’s definitely not one you can “snap out of” as many people erroneously think. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. Depression can happen at any age, but often begins in adulthood. Depression is now recognized as occurring in children and adolescents, although it sometimes presents with more prominent irritability than low mood. Many chronic mood and anxiety disorders in adults begin as high levels of anxiety in children.

Here are 20 Unexpected Symptoms of Mental Illnesses You Probably Never Knew

- Meditation/ is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing their mind on a particular object, thought or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.

Meditation offers time for relaxation and heightened awareness in a stressful world where our senses are often dulled. Research suggests that meditation has the potential for more than just temporary stress relief.

Educators, spiritual leaders, and mental health experts have developed dozens of forms of meditation. The variety suggests there is a form of meditation to suit most people, regardless of personality or lifestyle.

Here are a Few Guides to Meditation

“Depressed people are less likely to post picture of their faces,”

Even the picture of me isn’t showing my face… that much. Oh and the “black and white filters?”?

I mean… I was diagnosed with depression…

[bisexualdemiqueen]

I haven’t been diagnosed with depression but I did go to therapy when I was in high school. I feel like I might need it again, I work and I went to school but I just don’t want to be around people. I will continue my education online and I will keep working but I wish I had more energy. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and my engery levels are really low and I don’t have much time to be with my friends. I wish my mom understood better, she doesn’t and before I was officially diagnosed, she would tell me to stop whining. When I was in high school, she thought my depression was me being possessed and not actually depression even though she was depressed at some point in her life. When she realized before, sending me to therapy, she would tell me I had nothing to be depressed about. My depression isn’t being sad all the time, its about having no energy to do what I love and while half of that is also the fibromyalgia, I sometimes don’t feel like eating or sleeping. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I was in a mental institution or if I didn’t have to go to college and have a job which requires me to be around people. I love working with children but some days, I just don’t want to do anything. I used to write when I was deep in depression but now I don’t even want to write. I read fanfiction and I listen to music but sometimes I wish there was nothing I had to do, work, school, having a plan for the future. It’s too stressful.

i feel weird cause all i post on my instagram are selfies but i think that may be cause i hate my body so much… i haven’t been diagnosed with depression but the intense periods of sadness and anxiety i experiment for even months on end can’t be normal…

[kathysannoying]

I got diagnosed with major depressive disorder almost a year ago in that time I’ve lost and gained more Weight than I ever have, self care is up and down and I deleted majority of my pictures of myself off my social media but I’ve been on anti depressants since my diagnosis and it definitely helps and when I’m more financially stable I’ll be going to therapy consistently but symptoms still linger it’s a very odd feeling you never just snap out of it and it’s not always sadness it kinda feels like your in limbo all the time it’s like that episode of spongebob when squidward finally moved away. I’m doing a lot better now and things like meds and meditating directly influenced that

If u please read and reblog this. U never know. Maybe it will help someone so please consider reading things before just scrolling by it like its a meme u already saw

[420lablazeit]

i was diagnosed with clinical depression almost five years ago and as much as it seems like it sometimes goes away, it still comes back just as fucking hard. i get stuck in my head listening to the imaginary voice telling me i’m worthless and don’t have the energy to get out of bed and not scroll through my phone constantly. i hate that i get defensive and angry so quickly and can’t express myself the ways i want to because i’m too insecure and self conscious. my mom said it was fake, that my sister and i are just feeling these feelings for attention. this shit sucks man.

A Guide to Keeping your Heart Soft

Love Big.

Compliment often.

Expose the Greatness in everyone you meet.

Hold no unsaid expectations against anyone.

Forgive easily.

Tell the kid how cool their toy/picture/story/rock is-and watch the light flood their eyes.

If you hold anger against someone/if they said something that hurt you, talk about it in a healthy way.

When it comes to unsolicited wisdom, the very least you can do is listen and think about it, you don’t have to agree, but give yourself the option to learn and grow.

Purge bitterness from your bones, it makes you older faster and clogs your joints.

SMELL ALL THE CANDLES IN THE STORE; cake-scented candles never ruined anyone’s day.

Tell yourself one thing you love about yourself every day, to start, and more will follow: Toes, I love that you balance me; calves, I love that you’re strong; thighs, I love your power, etc.

Laughter is a healing balm.

Do not lie to yourself, acknowledge the power of you.

If you suffer, all you have to do is survive; AND THEN give yourself permission to thrive.

Do not be afraid to be extraordinary; in your craft, in your hugs, in your words.

I wish you the best of luck.

Може би,

ти си нечия

история… //

И те разказват.

И говорят за теб, когато се напият с приятели или са трезви и сами.

Може пък и да не те споменават пред друг, но често си те спомнят.

И всеки те помни различно.

Била си и добра и лоша. И много усмихната и много намръщена.

Понякога си история от детството, друг път си история от юношеството.

Но хубавото е, че някой някъде помни твоя версия

от преди.

И в някои ранни или късни часове започва да усеща липсата на старото ти Аз.

И образът ти му донася най-различни по вид емоции.

(но всичко това са просто подробности)

Важното е, че някъде…

Ти си нечия история.

the reason i like staying up late so much is because between the hours of 1am-5am, the world is quiet and no one expects anything from me. i could stare at my wall for 4 hours and there would be no consequences. it’s so silent and calm. i love it

Here’s something that I don’t think gets talked about enough: I wrote books before The Songbird’s Refrain. Books that I don’t intend to ever publish.

Oh, I might cannibalize them for spare parts. Rescue some characters or plot threads. Take the basic idea of something and recontextualize it. Take a scene and use it as a springboard for a whole different plot.

But as a whole, I’m content to let these works sit on my hard drive with no one reading them, because they weren’t for other people to read. They were for me to learn. Some books are like that, and that’s okay. I think we forget that sometimes — especially in the self-publishing community, especially on writeblr, there’s a sort of unspoken attitude of, “Oh, you wrote a thing? YOU HAVE TO PUBLISH THE THING.” And that’s just not true.

Some books aren’t for other people. Some will never be, and some you’ll have to come back to years later to find what was salvageable about it.

It’s okay to write something just for you. It’s okay to use your first book (or two, or five) to learn and grow. And obviously, there comes a point where you have to trust yourself enough to start querying, or hiring editors, or whatever your “next step” is, because you can’t just wait until you stop growing. That’s never going to happen.

But there’s no need to rush into things. Take your time.

The thing about twitter is that it’s only enjoyable if you have a following, otherwise you’re shouting to an infinite void. Yeah it’s kinda the same on tumblr, but it feels less lonely somehow, you know?

SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT

[deathtasteslikechicken]

So if a teenager is at school for roughly 8 hours, and they are doing homework for 6+ hours, and they need AT LEAST 9 HOURS OF SLEEP FOR THEIR DEVELOPING BRAINS, then they may have 0-1 hours for other activities like eating, bathing, exercise, socializing (which is actually incredibly important for emotional, mental, and physical health, as well as the development of skills vital to their future career and having healthy romantic relationships among other things), religious activities, hobbies, extra curriculars, medical care of any kind, chores (also a skill/habit development thing and required by many parents), relaxation, and family time?  Not to mention that your parents may or may not pressure you to get a job, or you might need to get one for economic reasons.

“…but teenagers have no reason to be stressed.”

[12345678909876543218-deactivate]

hey did you know anxiety levels in high school teens are actually as high as they were in insane asylum patients in the 1950’s? :)

[galaxies-like-you]

damn!! that last comment… holy shit dude

[jumpingjacktrash]

not to mention, it’s simply not healthy (or even usually possible) for an adult’s brain, let alone a teen’s, to be ON all the time like that. you need downtime to process what you’re learning, or it doesn’t stick.

i don’t remember most of high school. at all. it never got fixed to long-term memory. i was just too stressed, too busy, and too overloaded.
