The Caged Dreamer

The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

“Mental illness is like fighting a war where the enemy’s strategy is to convince you that the war isn’t actually happening.”

Me: I can’t get out of bed today, what is wrong with me. I’m so lazy and terrible and I am a huge flake and there has got to be something wrong with me. My brain: There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

AT almost 26 years of age, I am relearning a tough lesson. The people who you expected to be there for you (boyfriend, best friend, etc) end up bailing on you, and people you never expected to be there for you end up being there when you truly need someone.

maybe I just keep bad company, maybe I push people away... who knows? All i know is the 2 men I trusted most in my life have bailed. the boyfriend is almost never around and puts in minimal effort, and the best friend since he confessed his emotions to me has dead locked himself away and gets mad if i try to talk to him as he is taking time for himself apparently, away from me... and only me.

Hurts.

Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck

Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie

Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.

The Statue of Liberty wasn’t just a friendly gift, it was also a tribute to the end of US slavery. A French abolitionist suggested the monument due to his dreams being realized in the US, and he hoped it would inspire his people to stand against their repressive monarchy. To honor the freed slaves, a broken chain was to be placed in Lady Liberty’s hand, but the artist did not want to further divide America after the war, so he put it at her feet instead.

I’ve found that growing up means being honest. About what I want. What I need. What I feel. Who I am.

Notice how Shan Yu doesn’t even question it or make a comment about “BUT YOU’RE A GIRL” he just instantly goes into a “I’LL TEACH YOU TO KILL MY MEN AND STEAL MY VICTORY” rage and I think about this a lot sometimes

((Well that might have to do with the fact that he’s a Hun.  Women among the Huns had higher status than their Chinese counterparts and even some of their own men. Women were free to hunt and fight along side of the men, could choose their own husbands and divorce him if she choose to. There were even records of clans being led by women leaders. So for Shan Yu Mulan is just another soldier))

He also might not have been able to see very well, due to whatever horrible disease has taken hold in his eyeballs.

Instead of getting detention at Baltimore’s Robert Coleman Elementary, you get meditation. Rather than making a trip to the principal’s office, students practice meditation and breathing in the Mindful Moment Room, a brightly colored ‘oasis of calm’, and it’s working. Since starting the program in 2014, the school hasn’t issued a single suspension. Source Source 2
