Grey Matter.

[Grey Matter.]

My therapist told me something meaningful yesterday, she said “It’s important to remember that when you’re depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentile towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn’t break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think “I am a failed athelete” they think, “right now something isn’t working so i’ll take care of myself until it does.“ 

Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out, and pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don’t feel better is just like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn’t heal.

Read this. Then read it again. And then save it and read it over and over when you are depressed.

Stand in front of them and press A

If you ever catch me staring, I am:

[ahungrygirlsfitnessjourney]

1) admiring your piercing/tattoo/hairstyle/outfit

2) trying to figure out if I know you

3) think you’re gorgeous and can’t help myself

[chainsaw-to-the-heart]

4) I’m tired as hell and spacing out and just happen to be staring in your general direction.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

This is so well put I am stunned

imagine sleeping early and waking up with the sunrise and enjoying mornings and being prepared for class and knowing the material and living a healthy lifestyle and having your life together in general

New idea: if a guy responds to public breastfeeding with “so why can’t I pull out my dick and ejaculate”

[writer-robin]

Ask him if he intends to feed his sperm to children, and watch the conversation get real uncomfortable real fast as the asshole scrambles to compare an actual sexual organ to fatty tissue that contains nutritious milk.

[sushiprincessssssss]

even better, just loudly exclaim “YOU FEED YOUR SPERM TO CHILDREN??” and watch everyone else react

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.

She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”

Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.

However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”

My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.

Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

What does it say about society when a group of adults could stand to take a lesson in humanity from a class of preschoolers?

To All the Men out there

[mellow-humanitarian]

Who think they’re too pudgy

Who think they’re too skinny

Who hate their skin color

Who wish their hair was different

Who think they’re too short

Who think they’re too tall

Who are covered in scars 

Who have been hurt and abused

Who have struggled with suicide

Who struggle with eating disorders

Who struggle with their sexuality

Who struggle with their gender identity

Who struggle with mental illness

Who struggle with physical disability

Who struggle with gender roles

Who struggle with societies standards

Who struggle with self esteem

Who struggle with bigotry

Who struggle with the hatred faced just for being men

Who struggle with the immense pressure of society

Who think they’re not good enough

This is for you. A lot of people try to hide these parts of you. A lot of people don’t wish to see the individuality in you. A lot of people will try to find any excuse to hate, to belittle, or to hurt. But you don’t deserve any of that. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be acknowledged. Anybody who tells you that you deserve bad things for being male, is absolutely wrong. You are wonderful, and you deserve to be loved.

Booth. So I can sit criss-cross-applesauce while enjoying a gourmet meal.

I have googled my life away. I have read bible verses. I have studied the ohilosophical meaning behind the numbers. I have become a modern Gallup trying to ask people to help me figure this out. What the FUCK does it mean.

I see what you did there

One day, whether you
are 14,
28
or 65

you will stumble upon
someone who will start
a fire in you that cannot die.

However, the saddest,
most awful truth
you will ever come to find––
is they are not always
with whom we spend our lives.
