"I don't believe our world needs more positivity.

I believe our world needs minds that are equipped to be with the complexity of life.

Minds that can hold nuance and polarity.

Minds that can stay grounded, centered and open to the full range of what it means to be human. " —Cory Muscara

"Stop glamorizing 'the grind' and start glamorizing getting 7+ hours of sleep at night, having healthy relationships, feeling safe at work, taking sick days, being paid a living wage, working hard when you’re at work, boundaries, and self-caring your way to success." —linzsports

trigger warning: self-harm

“My mother warned me about cigarettes that could cause cancer But she never told me that self-hatred can grow faster than any tumour ever could

My father warned me that I should never stop thinking But he never told me that overthinking would kill my happiness

My sister warned me about other people who might make hurtful comments about me But she never told me that instead of hearing someone else’s voice, I’d hear my own

My brother warned me about drugs in baggies sold on the street, But he never told me about the ones that people put in your glass when you’re not looking

My grandmother warned me about the devil with his tail and red horns But she never told me about his angelic smile and dark, ocean blue eyes

My grandfather warned me about booze that could kill But he never told me that if you drink enough alcohol, it tastes like love

My cousin warned me that I should lose my virginity to a guy I love But she never told me he should love me, too

My aunt warned me that if I kept eating that much, I might vomit But she never told me that even without eating anything, you can hang over the toilet and puke

My baby sitter warned me that a boy could break my heart But she never told me that if I made him mad, he’d also break my arm and nose

My teacher warned me about dangerous men with knives that could cut my throat But she never told me that I didn’t need these men to cut my skin

They all warned me that I shouldn’t do dangerous things that could kill me But I never had the chance to ask them if slitting both of my wrists vertically And taking thirty-eight aspirins, was one of these dangerous things.” —d.a.

"Suicidal feelings are not the same as giving up on life. Suicidal feelings often express a powerful and overwhelming need for a different life. Suicidal feelings can mean, in a desperate and unyielding way, a demand for something new. Listen to someone who is suicidal and you often hear a need for change so important, so indispensable, that they would rather die than go on living without the change. And when the person feels powerless to make that change happen, they become suicidal. Help comes when the person identifies the change they want and starts to believe it can actually happen. Whether it is overcoming an impossible family situation, making a career or study change, standing up to an oppressor, gaining relief from chronic physical pain, igniting creative inspiration, feeling less alone, or beginning to value their self worth, at the root of suicidal feelings is often powerlessness to change your life – not giving up on life itself."

―Will Hall, Living with suicidal feelings.
