A nice blank white background so I can apply the color of whatever I feel like.

Notice of Absence

Well friends, as you can see, I haven't been consistently posting since May. Now that I'm in college (thank GOD), I feel as though I have no need for a single website to keep me company, and I've changed myself and my schedule much since my freshman year of high school. It's been a good almost four years with all of you and I'll always remember this site as a place I could come for refuge. Maybe someday I'll look back at this blog and it will tell me what high school was like as a sort of mixed media photo journal. But for now, I wish all of you good luck and have fun with your future pursuits. If you wish to contact me for any reason, you can email me at [email protected]. Goodbye for now!

true confession: I put other people's opinions of me over my own happiness. Pretty shitty, but everyone's gotta do it on some level.

true confessions: Some friends are less than cool, and other friends look down at them but that doesn't make them cooler it just helps me realize everyone, including me, has faults and is capable of being a piece of shit.

appropriate white culture. dance offbeat at the club. scream at your barista when she doesn’t put enough splenda in your latte. clap at the movie theater when the credits roll. put your child on a leash.

Kiss From a Stranger Saves a Suicidal Man

In Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, a sixteen-year-old boy was standing on a bridge, threatening to jump off and end his life. Hundreds of onlookers watched in horror as he refused to cross back onto the safe side of the guardrail. Police had arrived and were talking to the boy, but no one could get through to him. Just then, Liu Wenxiu, a nineteen-year-old hotel waitress, was walking home from work when she saw the boy and knew that she had to do something to help him. Wenxiu had once been suicidal herself, so she knew how the boy felt. Telling police that she was his girlfriend, the girl managed to get close enough to talk to the boy. She shared her own sad and difficult life story, listened to his, and showed him the scar on her wrist from where she had tried to commit suicide herself. “He said he’s hopeless, ‘so don’t waste your time to save me’. But I told him, ‘I’m not saving your life, I just want you to realize how silly you are being. Look at me, I’ve been there and I’m now here,’” Wenxiu said. Finally, the girl was able to lean in and give him a hug, and then she unexpectedly gave him a kiss, as well. Police were then able to take the knife that the boy was holding and lead him back over to the safe side of the bridge.

HERE’S JUST HOW MUCH IT PAYS TO BE CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE

We’ve come to expect impossible, even improbable standards of beauty to populate our magazines and our television shows. It’s another thing entirely to find they’ve invaded our workplace.

Watch Vox’s full video to see the many other ways these unrealistic beauty standards effect where we work.
