How much space I have left on my bookshelves: none

What I told my mom I wanted for Christmas: more books

[hedonist--poet-deactivated20240]

I either eat too much or starve myself. Sleep for 14 hours or have insomniac nights. Fall in love very hard or hate passionately. I don’t know what grey is. I never did.

man i wish ‘no’ was a more socially acceptable answer

like ‘wanna come with us’

'no'

no hard feelings

end of story

instead you either feel guilty for saying no or you have to give a detailed explanation/excuse why you don’t wanna or can’t go somewhere or you end up going anyway

[sunshineandcheetos]

On the same line, I wish people would say no every once in a while instead of ignoring me. If you don't want to do something, just say so. If you ignore me forever, I'll just feel like I've done something wrong.

I don’t think there’s anything sadder than when two people are meant to be together and something intervenes.

(via missinyouiskillingme)

If they were meant to be together, nothing would be able to intervene. Somehow, someway they would be together.

A white person learning another language in the United States is a person looking to build a résumé.

A person of color learning English in the United States is a person looking to be treated like a human being.

It is not the same thing.

[pendejx-deactivated20200323]

Keep reblogging this white people are getting mad because they don’t know the difference between learning a language because it’s fun or to put it on applications and learning a language so you won’t get treated like garbage by everyone

[sunshineandcheetos]

Wait, so you're saying that my friend who learned Russian because she had an interest in their culture and wanted to go to Russia was just looking to build her resume? She ended up using it to her advantage later on by getting a degree in linguistics and is trying to get a job as a translator, BUT she learned Russian in HIGH SCHOOL so she could go to Russia... 

And I learned Spanish because I worked in a Mexican restaurant, and I wanted to be able to communicate. I got the job there while I only knew how to count to ten, so knowing Spanish didn't help me get the job in the first place, because I DIDN'T KNOW SPANISH. I'm now a stay-at-home-mom/housewife, so knowing Spanish doesn't up me at all, but at least I understand it.

Hello followers!

I am in the process of getting ready to launch a website about being an eco-friendly momma and raising an eco-baby. I’m looking to enlist others in the process, but I’ll be running everything. If you have used/are using any products that are certified organic, non-GMO, fair...

this is really selfish but

why can’t mental illness be like any other kind of sickness where you go to hospital and your loved ones come and give you flowers and tell you that they love you and hold your hand and make sure you get better

why doesn’t that happen instead of awkward silences and embarrassing tears and messy bedsheets and a bunch of other stuff no one actually talks about

w h y

I can’t find a single selfish thing in that.

[sunshineandcheetos]

As much as I find this to be a lovely thought, the truth is that when you are hospitalized for a mental condition such as depression, you are typically not allowed to have many visitors. Even with a self-admission. My time on the fourth floor was spent in almost complete isolation (apart from the other patients). It felt like they were trying to re-set me. It was the most useful 72 hours of my life, and I'm glad they did it the way they did. It gave me a chance to calm down and re-center myself, as well as a chance to adjust to medications. My parents came to see me for about five minutes, and another friend came for about twenty. Seeing them was actually very hard while I was in there. Looking back on it, being alone and sorting myself out was what I needed. Allowing lots of visitors would have fed my depression instead of helping me heal. But if you ever feel down enough, I completely insist that you check yourself in. Escape from the world and get help. It makes a WORLD of difference. And if money is an issue (I had zero insurance and ended up with a $6000+ bill), look into Community Care or a similar program - after about an hours worth of paperwork and two months of waiting, they cleared my ENTIRE hospital bill, meaning I didn't have to pay a penny PLUS I actually found a medication plan that worked for me AND am still doing really well.

Love

Don't forget to tell the people you love that you love them. Ryan was in an accident this morning, and if just a single thing had gone differently, he probably wouldn't be sitting next to me right now. I don't know what I would do without him. So don't forget to remind people how you feel, because it could all change in just a second.

how many abused women do you think have been called “crazy ex girlfriends”?

[sunshineandcheetos]

Unpopular opinion: How many of them screamed abuse when they actually were just crazy? I PERSONALLY know of too many times when a woman would accuse her boyfriend/husband of things they didn't do, just so they could get attention. One example that particularly pisses me off is that my ex's mom would actually burn herself on the stove and give herself bruises, and then call the cops on her husband. My ex (we'll call him J) WATCHED this happen. He saw his kind and loving father get accused of things he didn't do. She filed for a divorce and since there was "abuse" involved, things progressed quickly. J's mom got pretty much exclusive custody of J, and throughout his entire childhood she treated him terribly. He never learned proper social skills and had to rely fully on himself to learn very basic things. To this day he still doesn't function completely normally, even though he's actually a rather intelligent human being. You can still see the scars his mom left on him if you look hard enough. She took away his father from him, because SHE had a problem. 

My current boyfriend, who is the father of my child, and the absolute love of my life, experienced something similar with his ex-wife. He would NEVER lay a hand against a woman. His mother, step-father, and closest friends have all vouched for him, and personal experience has shown me how wonderful he truly is. They saw her scream and flip out at him, and even physically abuse HIM for stupid things like wanting to hang out with said friends. She hit him with her car going 25+ miles an hour on his BIRTHDAY because of a typo he made in a text message. But HE got sent to jail on multiple occasions. Sure, they argued and fought, but he NEVER abused her. If anything, she was abusing him. 

I'm not saying that every situation is like this. I understand that there are abusive men out there. But people keep forgetting that it CAN, in fact, go both ways. Don't jump to anyone's side until you know the full story. 

[subjectivestanzas]

People hate that I flip two cigarettes Upside down in each pack for luck, But I hate that people notice When you gain three pounds, But not when you buy a new hat. I’ve been told that the way I sleep With one leg draped over The person lying next to me Is annoying, But I think it’s annoying When people tell me I look pretty, But only when I paint my face. I’ve heard that old men Like to touch the girls who work late at bars, But I want to know Why they never kiss the women they married forty-two years ago. I’ve noticed that mothers teach their daughters That it’s rude to refuse a hug From an uncle they’ve met three times, But forget to teach them That they aren’t obliged to kiss The boy who paid for dinner.

His pledge to her:

i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar. i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle. i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed finger, and the counter-bumped hip. i’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. i will be the big spoon. i will let you win at wrestling, sometimes. other times i will not. i will go faster. harder. i will pull when you want. and tease you when you don’t. i will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. not always. not on schedule. just whenever i want to. whenever i think you need one. or seven. i will check your tire pressure. and remind you to take your car in. i will hold your hand. i will love you.  i will love you. i will love you.

Apples in the crock pot with cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg for slow cooked applesauce! Recipe tomorrow—SUPER easy.

[thecashewchronicle-deactivated2]

So this applesauce turned out pretty delicious, I had some for breakfast, but I also used it to make some muffins (pics to come later) that turned out amazing, so this recipe might be a good foundational piece to a whole slew of baked goods as well as a tasty warm autumn treat. Here’s how to do it!

You need:

8 cored skinned apples

4 tbsps vegan brown sugar (sub turbinado sugar if you don’t have veg brown sugar)

2 tbsps cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cardamom

1 1/4 cups water

2 tbsps lemon juice

How to do it:

Literally just throw everything in the crockpot and stir, then cover and let cook for about 10 hours. Not only does this smell amazing, it will fill your whole home with that seasonal spiced apple smell. YUM!

[sunshineandcheetos]

Trying this today! Everything is all squared away and slowly cooking. Can't wait to wake up later to the smell of fall in my house!

New Followers!

First off, hello!

Second off, I have to be honest with you... I don't keep up with this blog as well as I used to. In fact, MOST of what I do on Tumblr is really just going through my dashboard and liking a million posts. However, since a lot of my new followers are mommies-to-be, current mommies, or women trying to conceive, I just want to let you all know that I DO have a baby blog! It's ninemonthsofblogging. My little girl is due on December 11th, and even though I don't post a WHOLE lot there either, I am trying to keep up a little blog for her. 

Thank you for the follows, and I'll try to be a better blogger <3

THEORIES ABOUT THE UNIVERSE I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dogs. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: “Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.”

[foxy-voxy]

No, I’d say the show does a great job of representing the typical 18-34 male with Larry, with his constant need for validation, attention, and the world to revolve around him.

[bluematchbox]

not to mention Bennet’s quest to prove that he’s a man, Pornstache’s overcompensation that disguises his vulnerability, Healy’s struggle to make positive change that is frustrated by his need to be loved by a woman, and Caputo’s exploration of his desire to control the world around him and whether or not he wants to do that. men are quite accurately represented in the show, the only issue male viewers seem to have is that these men display the warped nature of man’s dominance, and the idea that their superiority is not perfect and noble is offensive.

[vixens-dont-wear-pink-lipstick]

^^^^^^

[sunshineandcheetos]

The real Larry was actually a great guy, who did NOT cheat on Piper or do anything of that sort while she was in prison. In fact, they DID end up getting married, and he was nothing but supportive throughout the entire ordeal. The book was definitely much calmer than the show, but the show completely disregarded the truth about Piper and Larry's relationship. Please stop saying that all real men act like the men on TV shows that are really mostly just fiction.
