Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls.

Bipolar disorder is fucking horrible it’s not just “oh I’m happy one minute I’m angry the next!” it’s literally hell let me tell you some shit:

Bipolar is getting excited and going on manic shopping sprees only to then regret everything you’ve purchased, and now you’ve lost interest in everything you’ve bought

Bipolar is suddenly crying for no reason, and when people ask you what’s wrong, your lack of understanding only makes things worse

Bipolar is suddenly becoming very passionate about a project, idea, or even person and then spending a long period of time obsessing over it only to suddenly lose interest

Bipolar is a messy bedroom cluttered unfinished projects and guilt

Bipolar is accidentally becoming too emotional around friends or loved ones and scaring them, pushing them away when all you wanted was to bring them closer

Bipolar is not having any set group of close friends, due to the paranoia of them talking behind your back about your episodes

Bipolar is lying on the cold bathroom floor in a friend’s house or unfamiliar place trying to calm down because you’re too afraid to have an episode in front of other people

Bipolar is being afraid to show your emotions because you know if you open up to someone, you might start crying or panicking

Bipolar is making too many promises during your manic states that can’t be delivered when you’re down and depressed, leaving many to think you’re “flaky”

Bipolar is not knowing if you’re reacting appropriately or overreacting to a situation because you’ve never had a “normal” emotional scale

Bipolar is having no one taking your disorder seriously, including your parents, who may or may not still think you’re just experiencing mood swings

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

[pkmnbreederbrianna]

Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

From infusions and tinctures to oils and salves: The basics of herbal healing and the beginnings of any potion. 

Decoction: A decoction is needed to extract the deeper essence from harder substances such as barks, roots and stems. Place the raw materials in a pot and fill it with fresh water. Simmer uncovered until the water lever is reduced by 1/3. Strain the resulting liquid to remove particulates then drink or use as needed. Infusion: Pour freshly boiled water over the desired herb or planar matter, roughly 8 ounces of water per teaspoon of dried plant parts. When using fresh herbs roughly 3 times as much is required. 

Oil: Place flowers, herbs or other plant parts in a sealed glass container. Fill the container with an organic oil (ex: Olive, sesame, etc…) until it is an inch above the material being used. Place the bottle somewhere warm for 2 weeks, next to a stove while cooking, on the mantle, a sunny window sill, etc. Upend the container daily to ensure the oil saturates the material. 

Ointment: Heat 2 cups of pure lard to frying temperature. Add 4 handfuls of crumbled dry herbs or 6 handfuls of chopped fresh herb to the lard. Stir to to blend and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover and let sit over night. Reheat until liquid then mix in 4 tablespoons of an organic oil, this will prevent it hardening to much. Squeeze through a cheese clothe to remove solids and store in a crockery or glass container. 

Salve: Mix 3 ounces of finely pulped plant parts, 7 ounces of lard and 1 ounce of beeswax. When thoroughly mixed simmer over low heat in active red pot for 1-2 hours. Remove from eat and allow to cool. 

 Tincture: A tincture uses alcohol to extract the properties of a herb or plant. Loosely fill a glass container with fresh or dried herbs and add some sort of food grade spirit (ex: vodka), vinegar can also be used for certain ingredients. Cork or otherwise seal the container and leave somewhere warm for 2 or more weeks.

The Art of the ‘Baddie’: The Rundown Pt. 1

The long-awaited Baddie Rundown tailored towards those trying to achieve the classic ‘baddie’ look and/or recreating it for dependents/minors and those on a budget.  

Attitude: The Basics 

Rule number 1: Don’t let people push you around or walk over you. 

Have confidence.

Be unbothered/don’t care what other people have to say about you. 

Don’t be rude.

Encourage and uplift others. 

Attitude: Other Things To Keep In Mind 

The tricky part: Know when and when not to follow the crowd 

Be mindful of who you confide in 

Be independent. Even if you are a minor or dependent, try to start doing what you can on your own 

Create short-term and long-term goals and work to accomplish them  

Other Things To Remember When Adopting the Attitude or Look:

Have good posture

Be proud of the way you carry yourself 

Step out of your comfort zone (take baby steps but don’t do stuff you’re not comfortable with)

Keep up with your appearance/hygiene 

If you have a budget, when it comes to clothes and makeup especially, make dupes your best friend

Take your time investing in your items. Don’t break the bank on recreating the look asap. Start with what’s free, use what you have, and save up

Keep reading

Mozart - Violin Sonata no.21 in e minor

Of all of Mozart’s 35 violin sonatas, the first written when he was 6 and the last written when he was 32, this sonata is the ONLY one in a minor key. In general, Mozart rarely used minor keys, somewhat of a convention of the classical era. So the use of the minor key might signify something special. Consequently, it’s also the most “serious” of all of them. Chamber sonatas, before Beethoven, were more lighter affairs. Maybe it was the recent death of his mother that compelled Mozart to convey something more formal and dark in this intimate duet. Then again, historians aren’t sure if this was written before or after her death, as he wrote six other sonatas around the same time in Paris, so the association is more speculative than literal. Even without the extra musical interpretation, we can appreciate the expressive qualities of Mozart’s minor key music, where he was more free to experiment harmonically than he could have with major key music. There are many incredible moments where Mozart uses very harsh dissonances, but is able to make them sound natural. The work is in two movements, the first opens with one theme in unison, highlighting the main idea that will be broken down and explored through the work. When we think of Mozart as writing “perfect music” as in “everything just sounds right”, I would say that’s the subconscious reaction to the writing. If you watch the score and listen carefully, you can hear that all of the melodies and shapes are developed out of the opening. The second movement is a minuet, but it is far from the charming parlor music you’d expect from maybe a Baroque suite or Classical string quartet. It opens with a descending bass, and a melancholic theme from the piano alone, soon joined by the equally lyrical violin. As the movement develops, there is a bit of weight lifted off the lamenting mood, and we have a few charming passages, but those only serve as a contrast to the more serious opening theme. A middle section takes the same shape as the opening only this melody is in the major and feels like an uplifting choral reaction. Maybe there is hope after all. But even so, we come back to the minor, a ragged coda takes us to the end.

Movements:

1. Allegro

2. Tempo di Menuetto
