i want to be so kind it echoes backwards in time and undoes the things that hurt you. i want to be so kind it radiates from me. i want to be so kind that i make someone else find faith in humanity again. there’s not much i can do, i’m small and weak and i only know so many words. but i know i can be kind. and sometimes, i believe, that changes the world.

growing and honoring your self surprisingly hurts a lot because you are unlearning, shedding, and constantly detaching from behaviors, identities, people that no longer serve a purpose - and that’s still felt as a loss. but it’s necessary in order to elevate. the loss of letting go of what is NOT meant for you however will never be harder than holding onto to that out of fear

It will hurt and hurt and hurt until one day it won't anymore. Please stay for that day.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

The Israeli-Palestine situation is not religious based, it’s land based. Religion came in the picture incidental decades after the conflict began.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Calling out “Israel” for it’s violence against the land currently known as Palestine is not blaming Jewish people and communities for said violence. There are Israeli Muslims, Palestinian Jews and Christians of both backgrounds.

There were already thousands of Jewish people in Palestine before British rule.

Calling out “Israel” means holding accountable the government/military actions oppressing the people of Palestine. Not blaming the innocent Jewish citizens of the land.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

It’s an opposition to this loss of life and land, not to any religious belief.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Freeing Palestine means giving its people self-determination on what is and is not their own ancestral land. The optimal way is to peacefully decide this.

The government/military of the state known as Israel have killed hundreds of innocent civilians of Palestine. They were met with peaceful protests. They responded with violence. Then they were met with violence in the name of self-defense. They responded with more violence.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Of course, Jewish people know far too well the cost of bloodshed and religious persecution that force innocents to become refugees, lose their families and have their homes ripped apart bloodily, inhumanely and unjustly.

That is the current state of innocents in Palestine.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

No, the issue is not black and white. Innocents in the land known as Israel have been hurt regardless of religious affiliation. Innocents in the land known as Palestine have been hurt regardless of religious affiliation.

The black and white of it is that there are the oppressed and the oppressors.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Freeing Palestine does not mean being diametrically opposed to the original definition of Zionism which is reparations for Jewish peoples in the form of a partial ethnic-state. 

The land currently known as Israel was not the only place considered for said goal; Madagascar, Ethiopia, Germany and several others were considered before outer Western oppressive powers mandated the state of Israel - a choice done with only temporary consent by those of the land then known as Palestine. 

Those same Western oppressive powers would have hurt whatever country they’d chosen and none of that would’ve been the fault of the Jewish people. 

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Jews have ALWAYS existed in Palestine.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

Free Palestine is simply a call to the end of illegal warfare, eviction, apartheid and religious persecution of innocent people in the land that is known as Palestine by the federal government of the state of Israel.

It is a call to prevent the exportation of refugees, the destruction of innocents, the airstrikes on public places and the bodies of innocent children lying dead and bloodied on the streets in the land of Israel-Palestine.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

It is a call to end the expansion of an oppressive state. Not to hurt Jews, nor kick them out individually nor to kill them. Just to free all involved from the warfare of an imposed and invading state.

Plenty of people with argue against this. I pity them for being uninformed and so adamant on their beliefs which may unintentionally or intentionally perpetuate violence on both communities - to paint either the Jewish or Arab peoples and/or their respective religions as violent or propagandistic.

Free Palestine is not an antisemitic statement.

“Free Palestine” is a call for peace and justice in the face of violent, unjust colonial settlement and ethnic cleansing.

Don’t make me regret posting this.

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!

Remind me why I shouldn’t purge.

Because it will only make you feel better for a second, then your eyes will burn, your throat will be scratched, knuckles bruised. You deserve to keep your meal, to have it fill you with warmth and energy. Feeling full is good, it means you nourished your body, and not giving in may be a battle, but it’s not one you will give up.

Remind me why I shouldn’t self-harm.

Because you will regret it so soon after, your head keeps saying you have to, it’s a liar. You have the choice, it’s all up to you. If you need someone to tell you not to ask them. You have to let that feeling go, one day you won’t feel like you need to hurt yourself anymore.

Remind me why I should eat today.

Because food is fuel, it’s energy, movement, joy. You need it to thrive, and you can’t achieve your goals on an empty stomach. You need it so your hair stays hearty, so your skin is healthy, You need it so your nails grow strong, as do your bones, so when you fall down you can get back up.

Remind me why I should keep going at all.

Because I know it hurts now, so badly you feel like it will never let up. But I can promise you that one day, you’ll start to feel better, and bit by bit you will heal. You’ll fall down, and you’ll crack, but you’ll have us there to help you get back up again. You need to see every sunrise and sunset, every adorable animal, every soul filled with wonder, every part of life calling out for you to stay.

Don’t give up, things get better.

Laziness Does Not Exist Devon Price

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

what if……..some things get better in 2021……..it is a possibility.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

My friends. Being cautiously optimistic does not ”jinx” anything. There is no force in the universe which punishes us for having hope. There is no god waiting for us to stand up in order to knock us back down. If things do not get better, make no mistake, the only beings who are consciously sabotaging us are those humans denying us financial aid and health care. They are only people, and they can be defeated.

I will continue to hope.

here’s some advice that I wish I could give to my younger self:

you are never gonna feel “sick enough.” get help now.

[enby-life]

You’re not in a coma, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t a coma. No one is trying to wake you up, you’re awake and safe and here right now

You’re not dead, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t the afterlife or hell. You haven’t died, you’re still very much alive, everyone around you is alive, you’re safe and alive on earth right now

You’re not fake, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t a simulation. You’re flesh and blood and so is everyone around you, you’re safe and real and so are they

You aren’t being watched, no one is looking for you and no one can spy on you. You’re safe, no one is spying on you, there aren’t any hidden cameras

You aren’t going to be killed, there is no one trying to kill you or break into your house. You’re safe, everyone is safe, no one is going to hurt you

[enby-life]

Anyway not to be blunt on main but if I see ANYONE fucking around and reblogging this with “or are you” or some bullshit, I am coming for you and I am going to cook your teeth.

Forgive yourself.

Yes, learn from your mistakes and don’t make up excuses, but forgive yourself. You did the best you could to get through.

[inmemoryam-deactivated20151019]

hey a reminder that sexual intrusive thoughts are not sexual fantasies. sexual fantasies are about what you desire and sexual intrusive thoughts are about what scares you the most and your intrusive thoughts say a hell of a lot more about what you DONT want than about what you do. youre okay and youre safe and youre not whatever it is your intrusive thoughts want you to think you are. youre fine.

[inmemoryam-deactivated20151019]

if you have a hard time knowing for sure that your intrusive thoughts arent actually fantasies, fantasies will make you feel good. intrusive thoughts wont. if the thoughts scare you, worry you, or stress you out, theyre not fantasies. promise

[pasarro-deactivated20170515]

also groinal responses are a thing and they dont mean you actually want to engage in what your intrusive thoughts are saying

[millenniumitem]

this is so important i dont think most people know about involuntary groinal responses in conjunction with intrusive thoughts/sexual obsessions, and its really important and vital for everyone to know that groinal responses dont indicate desire or interest in the sexual intrusive thought. your intrusive thoughts do not represent your tendencies, desires, interests, or actions you will take, they are your FEARS.
