You
YOU know where the bodies are buried
and YOU don’t think a skeleton’s scary
and WHO puts Novocain on the crazy
The BLUE sky when it’s nothing but rainy
and I don’t know how to love you more but I’ll try
what am I doing? I haven’t a clue
who would I be, where would I be without
You?
Cry.
Thoughts and thoughts and thoughts. They fly in circles around my head. As I sit on the edge of my bed, I cry “Oh, what have I done?” What have I done? I really am her best friend. I really do love her and that’s what hurts the most. If it came down to it, I would drop everything to be by her side in a millisecond. She is the only person in the world I would willingly ruin my life to save hers. It sounds exaggerated but it's true. We’ve been through too much to let others manipulation split us apart.
Time.
How much longer? How much longer can I write about the past? How much longer will I let it haunt and control me.
Grief
Grief is different for everyone. Some process it quickly. Others… slowly. I, however, can’t seem to process death itself. Maybe it’s due to so much traveling that death is the same as just not seeing that person anymore. The only time I’ve seen a person who has passed, they resembled the state in which I saw them sleeping. I saw no difference. And didn’t know how to tell my brain to realize that the person's soul no longer inhabits their body. I understand on principle but I genuinely don't think we were made to grieve. When God designed mankind, he intended for us to live forever. Our brains were not made to understand the death of another person.
Im terrified. And I hate myself for it. I hate that I had no idea that you were hurting yourself. I hate that I didn't know. I should've tried harder.
I'm either going to be ok or. I'm going to make the worst possible decision
4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.
5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger
6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights
7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)
That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving
8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.
Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time
girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.
guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis
(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)
- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back
Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.
E.g.
I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST
Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone
Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.
If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.
If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.
Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.
Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.
Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.
If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.
If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.
Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.
If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!

I made this google doc covering 14 different self defense tips and tricks. it was made on January 15th, 2020 so it was before I decided I’d come back to tumblr jhjshdbjfh.
i fucking hate this world. anyways R E B L O G
Just saw a video explaining why putting a key between each finger is more likely to hurt you than them (the keys will just get pushed back into your knuckles). A better way to hold them is to get your longest key and just clench your hand around it, like you’re making a fist. That’ll give you a lot more force and means you can use them in more scenarios (if someone grabs you from behind, you can use the key this way)
Not only for girls and women but also for boys and men.
i feel obligated to reblog this.
I hate that we need these things, but this is so so so important, it can literally save someone’s life
How to tell if your drink has been spiked:
1. The colour of it has changed
2. It’s become cloudy-looking
3. There more bubbles in it than should be
4. The ice in it sinks
If you are being followed, go to somewhere with high security like a jewellery store or a bar, if you can, and say what’s happening (the jewellery store and bar are best shots because they’re the most likely ones to believe you, the bar for obvious reasons and the jewellery store because there’s not likely to be a huge presence of toxic masculinity so you’ll be believed)
I hate it so much that i have to reblog this and that we still need this, but it’s so important!! Please everyone (yes also boys/men/enbys/genderfluids/everyone) stay safe out there!!
but I was never taught these things.
The first time I was groped, I was 10 years old. Do you feel sick yet? 10 years. What kind of fucker gropes a 10 y/o?
All I have learnt is to use my elbow or knee or fist or just duck and avoid contact. This post helped a lot, thanks.
It was the english teacher at my old school tho I did broke his nose and stabbed his stomach with a pen so
Also carry pointie / sharp or that which has a edge, it helps a lot, yk, just stab
-if you’re walking alone w/ headphones in, either have one earbud out at all times or have the music/podcast/audiobook/whatever you’re listening to on low and always listen for footsteps or other noises coming from behind you
-If there is a strange looking man in front of your building who doesn’t live there, walk around the block until he leaves so he can’t figure out that you live there and so he can’t kidnap you
-if a man is groping you against your will, go for the balls. always go for the balls. It’ll 1) hurt like hell, and 2) shock him to the point where you can probably run away and get help.
- carry pepper spray or some other type of weapon
As this site is full of readers,
1: if you’re reading a book with a large number of pages, you know, those BIG ONES, or with the hard cover, don’t leave it at home and never bring outside. I’m not saying to bring it everywhere, but if you are going to any possible dangerous places alone, bring them, in a purse or even by hand (to show it to everyone). Believe me, if you hit someone with it, it will hurt them!!
2: hairspray works just like pepper spray
3: if your being attacked, and you don’t have any pointed objects, neither training, put your fingers on the predators eyes and press it. With all your strength, it will leave them blind or disabled. Use it only if your life is in risk!
4:
5: the iPhones have a great setting that if you press it will call police, send them photos of your back and front cameras and send a message to the contacts you select saying your in danger; press 5times the “turn off” button and it will appear -sometimes you have to activate it before-
6:
I’m so happy to share these tips.
Don’t ignore pls it might save your of someone else’s life
truthfully, it’s a shame that this is a problem in the first place.
thank you to everyone who gave tips, and please reblog! it may help someone in the long run, and maybe even save their life.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST
those with long nails, THOSE ARE PAINFUL. if you are unfortunately close enough to your attackers, use those suckers to scratch, pinch, stab, whatever the fuck
rb for everyone!!
If your attacker does get close to you, close enough that they touched you, do whatever you can to get dna. Scratching is most efficient—you’ll get skin cells under your fingernails. Pulling hair also works, but only if you pull from the root. If you don’t get skin follicles on the end, your local law department can’t run the dna. Just get some skin.
Fighting tips:
-most people think to punch or kick, which is good, but your strongest assets are your elbows and knees. -try to hit in a few key areas: the jaw, the nose, the face in general is good, the solar plexus (above the squishy part of ur tummy but below the chest, if u poke around there on urself when u get a little wind knocked outta u then u hit the right spot, or just look it up), behind the knees, the groin, the front of the neck (if you hit too hard there death is possible tho, that’s where ur windpipe is)
-when punching, don’t swing. Most people will swing their punch in an arc to the side, and then in, the path being like a parentheses. When punching, try to punch straight, like an l. This makes it much faster and harder to catch your arm
-protect yourself at all costs. This goes further than fighting back—when you fight, you still want to not get hit. Keep your arms in front of your face and stomach, and generally try to make yourself as small a target as possible
-don’t look away from your attackers
It was April and she was the saddest thing under the sun.

Yet everyone else was busy looking at the rain.
You deserve to be surrounded by people who bring out the soft side of you, not the survival side of you.
How much more work do I have to do before I get there?

“You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”

Thats how I need up in this hospital bed. It may only be mentally but you put me here.
She didnt know the person who looked her in the eyes. She thought they looked familiar but the only recognizable thing was knowing that it was her eyes once held her life.
She was so used to being on a stage with and audience that she forgot how to act when the curtains closed.
“Loving me isn’t easy, I have sharp edges, I have missing parts.”
— Donte Collins
But you made me feel worth loving. You made me feel like I was enough. You made me feel wanted. You made me feel safe. You made me feel loved.
I miss the way you loved me.
I don't miss the way you loved me per say. I miss the way you loved me in a way that made me feel like I could be accepted. I miss the way I thought I was going to be safe. I miss the way I felt when you said I love you. And when you greeted me like I was the best thing that ever happened to you. I miss that love.
