"Enjoy life – there are no re-runs"

*WARNING: I don't always tag my posts. The majority of the time I queue my posts so I can come back later to tag them but sometimes I don't get to them before they appear. So this blog may be triggering.* I started this blog to try and create a safe non-judgmental place for me to share my thoughts and feelings while attempting to get over my far from perfect past. This blog will mainly focus on self care and abuse (physical/emotional/sexual/child/ect) awareness but other topics will show up.

Tips for having dyslexic friends

1. Please don’t laugh at their spelling mistakes unless them, themselves are laughing. It’s not a fun feeling being laughed at. I’m sure you all can agree.

2. Sometimes we’ll forget to spell the simplest things so if we ask how to spell something we are trusting you to help us and not laugh and think of it as a joke.

3. If they read something wrong or are having a hard time with reading, please be patient with them or help them out.

4. Sometimes words are big and the letter jumble together and they can’t read the word all together. If they ask you to re-word or explain said word please do.

5.  If they barrow a book from you, know it’ll take them longer for them to read. Maybe a year. Maybe a few months. Just let them take their time and don’t hassle them. If you’re going to hassle them and you know you will just don’t let them barrow the heckin book.

6. There are different verities and levels of dyslexia. Sometimes they can’t read at all. Sometimes it’s just numbers. Sometimes big words or similar words that are close together. So please don’t tell them they are not dyslexic and are just lazy in reading or math or whatever. Please don’t. Ever.

Expecting life to treat you right because you’re a good person,is like expecting a tiger not to kill you because you’re a vegeterian.

Unlikely simultaneous historical events

A poster on Reddit asks: What are two events that took place in the same time in history but don’t seem like they would have?

[quantumblog]

Spain was still a fascist dictatorship when Microsoft was founded.

There were no classes in calculus in Harvard’s curriculum for the first few years because calculus hadn’t been discovered yet.

Two empires [Roman & Ottoman] spanned the entire gap from Jesus to Babe Ruth.

When the pyramids were being built, there were still woolly mammoths.

The last use of the guillotine was in France the same year Star Wars came out.

Oxford University was over 300 years old when the Aztec Empire was founded.

Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?

Are You Dissociating?

[lavendertheatre-deactivated2017]

Dissociating is one of the most common responses to abuse and trauma. It involves feeling numb, detached or unreal and (while it happens to everyone once in a while) is experienced more frequently and severely in survivors. Dissociating people vary widely in symptoms and may experience any or all of the things from the following list.

You may be dissociating if you:

find yourself staring at one spot, not thinking anything

feel completely numb

feel like you’re not really in your body, like you’re watching yourself in a movie.

feel suddenly lightheaded or dizzy

lose the plot of the show or conversation you were focused on

feel as if you’re not quite real, like you’re in a dream

feel like you’re floating 

suddenly feel like you’re not a part of the world around you

feel detached and far away from other people, who may seem mechanical or unreal to you

are very startled when someone/something gets your attention

completely forget what you were thinking just a moment ago

suddenly cover your face or react as if you’re about to be hurt for no reason

can’t remember important information about yourself, like your age or where you live

find yourself rocking back and forth

become very focused on a small or trivial object or event

find that voices, sounds or writing seem far away and you sometimes have trouble understanding them.

feel as if you’ve just experienced a flashback (perhaps rapidly) but you can’t remember anything about it.

perceive your body as foreign or not belonging to you
