“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.”

I’m doing my part. Are you?

I believe the modern way to celebrate for this has been to "fake it until we make it" which applies to sex and anything really. Therefore, we're all waiting to see if its worked. If not, let the orgies proceed.

It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn't struggle is the one who doesn't grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign — and celebrate your struggle.

— Neale Donald Walsch

if i was a good child they wouldn’t have been beating me

if i didn’t deserve this it wouldn’t be happening to me

if i was stronger this wouldn’t hurt

if I wasn’t a coward I wouldn’t be afraid

if they’re hurting me it’s to make me better

if I controlled myself properly I would get over this

if I was worth anything I would stop being a nuisance to everyone

if anyone found me important my feelings would matter

if it was possible to love me someone would have loved me by now.

these are the thoughts of abuse survivors.

if you felt this, you’ve been abused.

18 Signs You’re Doing Better Than You Think

You can often feel under immense pressure to be achieving all of this while benchmarking yourself against your mates and how they seem to be sailing through life smashing one goal after another - let’s not forget all the inspiring people you follow on Insta. Stop. Breathe.

You’re doing amazing in your own right. Don’t believe us? Read on for 18 ways to prove that you’ve got this.

Even though most of us are stuck at home and can't go out and enjoy art in museums, that doesn't mean that life is boring or uncultured. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles challenged art fans to post photos of themselves recreating their favorite works of art from the safety of their homes. People responded with a lot of enthusiasm and flooded social media with their unique artistic interpretations.
