I turned my frustration with myself into art.
I feel like this is really important for people to see. I’ve been saying depression and mess go hand-in-hand for years, but so many people feel like they’re alone in it. You’re not.
“But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?”
- Mark Twain
This is honestly my favorite quote. It’s changed how I look at life and religion.
(via the-bitchextraordinaire)
Does anyone else have sudden urges to reinvent themselves, travel the world, starting jogging, learn new languages, learn to cook exotic foods, redecorate, or start journaling? Like, you’re just sitting there and all of a sudden you want to be able to speak fluent Latin or look out over Paris from the Eiffel tower, or be standing over a shiny metal pot stirring some kind of soup in an apartment that’s perfect for yourself? because i get that a lot.

For those that need it
Theres some really powerful stuff going on at selfcareafterrape (as per usual) but specific stories on why people stayed in abusive relationships or didn’t report being raped. Very triggering but thought i’d share for those of you who may need to hear from others. They’ve dedicated April to processing, read about what they’re doing this month here. It’s a very useful resource/blog. They have master posts on various subjects too. Hope this reaches you if you need it.
To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance.
Jean Vanier (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
Date someone who will
wake up at 4am just to listen to you talk about a bad dream you just had
tease you for little things just to apologize six million times when you act upset
be nervous to kiss you for the first time because they don’t want to fuck up
touch your butt
offer to buy you a book that you absolutely love, and insist when you tell them no
watch your favorite movies with you even if they don’t like them
let you give them too much information and just listen to you talk for hours
stay up until you fall asleep just because they want to talk to you
share your love for dogs
talk about animals with you for hours
make you laugh even if it’s 2:30am and you’re laying in bed crying because you sat there and over thought
reassure you that they care and will always be there for you
tell you that they think you’re cute when you get angry at a video game
laugh with you
claim to not know what you’re talking about just so they can watch as you struggle to explain it just to tell you they already know and just think you’re adorable
Most importantly, date someone who makes you happy.

7 Childhood Issues that Affect our Later Relationships
1. Threats and fear of abandonment. These can lead to jealousy and feelings of insecurity.
2. Lack of emotional nurturing. This can lead to feelings of emotional deprivation – which can feel like a bottomless pit to fill.
3. Growing up with feelings of entitlement. This can lead to feeling as if you don’t have to live by the same rules as others – as you are special, and a bit superior.
4. Being told that you’re inferior or inadequate. This causes you feel like you’re never good enough.
5. The demand to be perfect, and to always get things right. This can leading to being driven – and incredibly high standards.
6. Being betrayed by those you trusted – so you won’t trust now, and you can’t get close to others, or let them get close to you.
7. Being raised is a way that your needs were denied, not allowed, disregarded, trivialised or ignored. This can lead to a doormat type of personality where other people matter – and your needs never count.

The 10 Commandments for a Good Life
1. I accept that I’m not perfect, and there’s no perfect time – Too many people are hanging around and waiting for the perfect opportunity – or the time when they are perfect and have all the skills they need. But life rewards effort; so get out there and work hard … and eventually you’ll find that you succeed and reach your goals . 2. I can’t please everyone no matter how hard I try – No matter what you do or how hard you try there will always be someone who’s disgruntled or upset. So, don’t look for affirmation; just do what you think’s right. 3. I will participate in something I believe in – It doesn’t really matter what activity you choose, as long as it is something that ignites your passion … as this will bring fulfilment and true meaning to your life. 4. I will learn to prioritise and do what matters first – We all get distracted by what seems to be most urgent … or something that is fun and makes life less of a burden. But if you’re going to succeed you need to set priorities. Don’t allow what’s less important to distract you from your course. 5. I will be select when it comes to choosing friends – We’re influenced and shaped by the people we spend time with. Their impact is profound – even though this is subconscious. So be wise in who you choose to be your confidantes and friends. Surround yourself with people who inspire and motivate you. 6. I will be there for others, and will help them if I can – In life, we reap what we sow – and that’s a crucial principle. That means the more that you help others, the more they will help you. 7. I will choose to focus on the positives – Our thoughts affect our feelings and the ways that we behave. If you don’t expect success then it’s likely you will fail – in your work, relationships and life in general. So listen to your self talk … and straighten out your thinking … and start to focus on the positives! 8. I will true to myself – You can’t be happy living someone else’s life. You need to discover and develop your own authentic self. That’s when you’re truly beautiful, and life feels meaningful. 9. I will live in the present and enjoy the “now” – The past is gone and the future isn’t promised. Life is happening in this moment, so cease the day and enjoy “now”. 10. I will look for the good and be thankful for each day – Life is full of gifts, if we will only stop and notice. If we choose to be thankful, and treasure all life’s gifts, then we’ll find our lives are filled with joy and happiness – and the hurts and disappointments won’t weigh us down as much.
