Don't let me go...

I'm mostly on hiatus now that school's back in session, but I'll randomly blog some days and I'll respond to asks as soon as I can. Okay. Sorry. Have a nice day. Amela, eighteen, New York. I like pretty things, people with pretty voices, books, Harry Styles, and Doctor Who.

Here’s some hard to swallow pills that’ll probably make people upset but is 100% the truth and idc.

You do not have to stay in a relationship with a mentally ill person if it becomes too much for you to handle. You are not their saviour, that’s not your responsibility to save them.

Any person who uses their mental instability to control you staying is a shitty person. IE “if you leave me I swear to god I’ll kill myself”, still not your responsibility, LEAVE.

[animeshaming]

Even if they are not using it to control or manipulate you and aren’t a shitty person, it’s still okay to leave. If a relationship is unfulfilling to you, for whatever reason, you don’t have to be in that relationship. If your partner’s mental illness affects their behaviour in a way that negatively impacts your relationship and makes you unhappy, even if it isn’t malicious, it’s okay to end the relationship. You’re not obligated to sacrifice your own happiness because someone else has issues.

The same goes for friendships.

“…last year this photograph of children looking at their smartphones by Rembrandt’s ‘The Night Watch’ in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam [went viral.] It was often accompanied by outraged, dispirited comments such as “a perfect metaphor for our age,” “the end of civilization” or “a sad picture of our society”.

…It turns out that the Rijksmuseum has an app that, among other things, contains guided tours and further information about the works on display. As part of their visit to the museum, the children, who minutes earlier had admired the art and listened attentively to explanations by expert adults, had been instructed to complete an assignment by their school teachers, using, among other things, the museum’s excellent smartphone app….

The tragic thing is that this — the truth — will never go viral. So, I wonder, what is more likely to bring about the death of civilization, children using smartphones to learn about art or the willful ignorance of adults who are too quick to make assumptions?” José Picardo, Medium

if you’re going to talk shit about people working certain professions you shouldn’t get to benefit from their work.

talk shit about cashiers? go to the self checkout or get out.

talk shit about fast food workers? make your own damn food at home.

talk shit about janitors + cleaning staff? live in filth.

talk shit about garbage collectors? drag your bags to the dump yourself.

talk shit about plumbers, electricians, + construction workers? fix your own damn house.

you shouldn’t be able to devalue the work that certain people do and degrade them for doing it while still benefiting from that work on a daily basis.

i really really mean it please write muslim characters, it’s really not that daunting literally all you have to do is throw in a few casual qualities.

have them squint uncertainly at the meat options in a restaurant and ask if there’s pork in the sandwich. have them mention on the phone “oh, i’m gonna stop by the mosque first for prayer but i’ll be there soon.” have your hijabi girls squeal over cute scarves in mall store windows and swoon over sparkly pins. have them kindly reject a glass of water and say “oh, i’m fasting today.”

just don’t make their religion their only defining aspect. like??

for most women, wearing hijab is about as casual as wearing a shirt or pants. give me a badass woman on a mission to save the world just like you’d write literally any other badass woman on a mission to save the world— this one just happens to keep her hair in a headscarf and is careful not to eat certain foods?

and not all muslim women wear scarves, a lot of them just choose not to or they decide not right now but they’ll do it later? like, give me a girl who’s absolutely determined to break a world record and halfway through the story she shows up in a headscarf for the first time and it’s no big deal. 

give me a kid who’s on the search for an ancient magical artifact and also they get anxious at some point cause they’re busy but prayer’s gonna start soon and they don’t wanna miss it. have them whip out their phone and search for the nearest mosque. have them find some quiet place to pray alone, like in the corner of a hotel room they just booked while their travel companion’s watching TV with the volume turned down low.

just?? do a bit of research (when are the prayer times, when is ramadan, what are halal foods, mosques in texas, etc.) and write!!! muslim!!! characters!!!
