the mortifying ordeal of admitting you do want to be loved vs the mortifying ordeal of not wanting ppl to pity you or feel bad for u vs the mortifying ordeal of wanting to reciprocate affection but being useless vs the mortifying ordeal of being careless with others and actually feeling bad vs the mortifying ordeal of being perceived as vulnerable at all.

i think the way that teenagers treat drinking is like a huge problem lol

[itoldyouthings]

like i’m sorry but coming from a grown adult it’s just not cute or fun to get blackout drunk every single weekend and hurt yourself or hurt others just to show off on snap. also if your friends around you are LETTING you get to this level of intoxication, they are not your true friends and you cannot trust them. calling yourself “an alcoholic hahahahrjdjdj” isn’t cute either. you’re really going to regret a lot of this behavior when you’re older

Coming from a recovered heroin addict who started with alcohol, this is so important!! It’s not healthy at all. And sometimes when you try to stop drinking, you can’t. Because some of us have a brain that tells us we NEED IT to keep going through life, and you will truly regret drinking like this once you’re sitting in rehab and thinking about all the shitty stuff you’ve done. It isn’t fun, it’s NOT fun at all. It shouldn’t be a trend.

I’m gonna be honest, when I was a teenager with a drinking problem, i dismissed stuff like this out of hand cus it just isn’t honest. There is no point denying the appeal of these things, when u do that teenagers can’t trust u. It IS cute. It IS fun. Those friends are true friends actually, they’re just making dumb choices cus that’s what teenagers do. That’s half the reason teenagers start doing these things. It’s not bad to aknowledge why these unhealthy habits start. I only ever started working on my drinking problem when I was reffered to youth addiction services, who had the integrity to actually be honest with me and say “yeah, it’s fun. It’s cool. People finally want to be your friend. I get it. It’s still fucking u up though, isn’t it?”

What we should be saying is fun does not equal healthy. Fun does not mean you won’t regret these choices. Fun does not mean you should stop thinking long term, and how your choices will affect u down the road. We need to encourage things that can mitigate behaviors reaching the point of being harmful. Teenagers will drink, they will experiment, but a properly supported teenager will not reach the point of harming themselves most of the time. Encourage teenagers to have hobbies, to work on building strong and supportive relationships. Ensure parents and teachers have the resources and education to spot the begginings of addictive behaviours. Enable teenagers to pursue their interests. Keep them busy. Push for more funding of activities outside of school hours in your community. Ensure they have proper access to healthcare etc. Ensure they have the proper support if they are being abused, and build a culture of believing and helping victims of abuse rather than dismissing them. An unhealthy relationship with alchohol is symptomatic of other issues, often untreated medical or mental health issues, school stress, abuse and frequently boredom.

Some guy: what's your favourite film?

Me: I have never seen a film in my life

[bowandharrow]

adore is such a soft word...

I adore you. I adore the way your eyes light up when you're excited. I adore everything about you. I look upon you in adoration. I adore your affection and what it does to me. I adore you

so yeah, anyways...adore

Love isn’t a mountain meadow or a free running stream. It’s not natural like that. Not really. Love is a farmer’s field, growing flowers because you planted them. It’s a canal, carrying water only because you dug the ditches. Love isn’t made like the wild parts of the earth. It’s starts there sure. That’s passion for ya. But you can’t build a house on unleveled ground. And you can’t harvest what you’ve never planted.
