you deserve people who listen to you ramble. you deserve people who love it when you’re excited, when you’re happy. you deserve people who check up on you and wish to see you well, people who not only accept you for who you are - but rejoice in it.

more parents need to understand that teaching children to ask why rules exist is positive and valuable. teaching kids about authority–and that authority is not always right, and when and how to question it–is a fundamental step to preparing them for adult life. 

do it right and you won’t get disobedient kids, you’ll get kids who think critically

I’ve mentioned this before, but my parents introduced a system where if they tell you to do something and there’s a reason you can’t do it, you can ask “May I appeal,” and they’ll listen to whatever new information you have to present and either revise their command or tell you to do it anyway. This serves a few purposes: first, it’s really funny to hear a four-year-old use legal jargon. Second, having a system in place for protest that isn’t whining, complaining, or outright disobedience makes things easier for the parents. Third, it fosters an environment of mutual respect. The child knows that his reasoning is taken into consideration when the parents’ decision is made, and the parent knows that the child may have legitimate reasons for not obeying a command, while still reserving the right to the final decision.

I do remember telling a teacher that her request was “out of her jurisdiction” in kindergarten so it can backfire just FYI

on the first day of classes professors will usually ask us to fill out a little notecard with our name, pronouns, major, and email. one dude in one of my history classes was very clearly one of those Anti-SJW Bullshit People and went “Uhhh pronouns? Ha, what’s that supposed to mean? I’m clearly a dude I don’t understand what you’re asking” and the professor just looked him in the eye and went “If you don’t know what a pronoun is then maybe a college level course isn’t for you” and i think about her every single day of my life

sometimes it’s better refrain from deep introspection and allow yourself to just be.

[solassitudes]

and by that I mean: I don’t have to sit with myself and overthink and analyze and rationalize every ounce of my being. I am not a case study I am a person. faults and all. like any other person. sometimes I have to look at my mistakes and avoid self flagellation. sigh and learn what I can and move on. remembering that I’m living, and this is part of the process. free myself of that inner critic. allow myself to be, and try again.

best way to get Azula to be nicer to u is turn it into a competition

This is literally the best thing I have ever seen.

I really really really want Toph and Azula to be friends.

[crinosg]

Toph would be great for Azula because Toph is the only person who would absolutely not be afraid of Azula and Azula would have no idea how to deal with it.

Azula would be like “We are going here and if you refuse me I will make your life a neverending vortex of pain and misery!” and Toph would be like “My life is already that cause I have to listen to your whining. What else you got.” And Azula would be like”.....GODDAMMIT I WILL GET YOU TO REACT TO ME SOMEHOW IF I HAVE TO BURN DOWN THIS ENTIRE VILLAGE.” Then like five minutes later Zuko comes in and Azula is buried up to her neck and Zuko is like “Time out pit?” and Toph is like “Time out pit.”
