Grief is just love with no place to go
Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change. Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.
I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.
So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
First boyfriend was at 27. We’re all but engaged. Your life is not over at 18 or 25.
Me: So you remember in the ALTA finale when Aang gets slammed against a rock in JUST the right spot so his chakra is unblocked and it realigns his whole spirit & body and he is able to reach his full potential as the avatar?
My Chiropractor: What?
DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW DRACO MALFOY IS JUST A HUGE FUCKING MEME YOU CANT TELL ME HOGWARTS STUDENTS DIDNT SAY “my father will hear about this” OR “potter” ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENED I JUST WONT ALLOW IT
I’m picturing instead of “thanks Obama” everyone just mutters “POTTER” every time something small goes wrong. Everyone loses their shit when Harry one day spills ink of himself and mutters “POTTER”
#do I think about this?!? only every day of my LIFE!!!!#after the Buckbeak Incident the whole of hogwarts walks around dramatically yelling ‘I’M DYING!!!’ at every minor inconvenience#harry and ron in the common room gesturing to their unfinished assignments: ‘I’M DYING!!! LOOK AT ME!!! IT’S KILLED ME’ (via candlewinds)
AnonymousHey I know there are lots of posts about this but really, if you’re young and you’re just getting into mental illness stuff you NEED to stay away from those posts that encourage you to stay stuck in bad places
“Relatable” memes about wanting to kill yourself, posts that encourage you regressing further and further into a bad state of mind
I used to interact with them a LOT because it made me feel better about the fact that I WAS mentally ill, but it also pushed me back to a point where I thought I couldn’t function even though I can. And I just accepted that I had a decreased quality of life and I was way more unhealthy than when I started.
There are much better ways to accept and embrace the fact that you’re ill. Don’t do this to yourselves.
shout out to the people who never unfollow me for some reason even when i never post anything relevant to their interests
