You know a lot of people think that just 'cause you work-out and lift weights and eat right and you do what people tell you to do, that you'll live a long life. Maybe you will, but you know... Why do people measure life by the years, instead of how good those years were? You know what I mean? What good is it to live to be a hundred, but you didn't do anything. You didn't go out and kick it with friends. You didn't go out... You know? What good is it? You stayed in the house and you were safe. - Gabriel Iglesias |
I don’t think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn’t make you a brave person. That’s why everybody in my life knows everything that I’m going through. I can’t hide anything from them. People need to realize that being open isn’t the same as being weak.

My mother got me three bottles of Revlon’s new parfumerie nail polish for Christmas. Initially, I thought it was kinda iffy, who needs a scent in your nail polish? But once I put two coats of Wild Violets on, I was in love. One whiff of my nails, and voila, instant moment of pleasure. Granted…
I want to see the distraught look on their faces. I would pay to see that.

Gather round kids while I explain this manipulation tactic that men perpetually try to use and why it’s bullshit.
If someone is openly showing interest in you by making disparaging or disappointed comments about your age, they’re trying to put you on the defensive. This guy wants me to try to quell his discomfort, to bring up that I’m only a month shy of 20, etc. - he wants me to try to prove myself to him, that I’m mature and adult enough for a man like him.
His goal is to establish a power imbalance right off the bat. If we were to date, I would constantly be on the defensive, constantly striving to be an equal, constantly trying to prove my “adult” credentials. Anything he says or does or wants from this point on that I object to would just be seen as a strike against my age, proof that he was right and that I’m not mature enough for him. This is how SO MANY men pressure younger individuals (primarily women and girls) into situations and relationships they aren’t comfortable with. If he truly thought I was too young for him, he wouldn’t have messaged me. This is a very calculated move, and it’s fucking gross.
Adult relationships with age gaps are completely fine, but only if all parties view each other as equals. If someone is trying to set you up in a way that ensures that’s never a possibility, run far away.
READ THIS SERIOUSLY READ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^
This this this.
Reblogged for the commentary.
This is really important because I think that educating about power imbalances and how to spot that manipulation is a lot better than saying “young people don’t date older people”. I had people use this kind of tactic on me when I was 18/19 as well and it is really damaging.
*realizes some things* damn, son.
Oh man I used to fall for this all the time.
Signal boosting because this is important.

For Homeless Women, Getting Their Period Is One Of The Most Difficult Challenges
‘Homeless women typically know where to find a safe place to sleep or a hot meal to eat. But when it comes to taking care of their feminine hygiene needs, they often have nowhere to turn.
Tampons and sanitary pads usually top the list of needs at shelters, since they’re pricey and supporters don’t often donate them, social workers told Al Jazeera. Compounding the issue is the fact that clean showers are also scarce, and not washing during menstruation can lead to infections.
It’s a desperate situation that many homeless women feel resigned to accept.
“I’ll never be clean,” a young woman living on the streets of San Francisco once told Doniece Sandoval, the entrepreneur behind Lava Mae, a mobile shower program, according to Nation Swell.
Maribel Guillet, 36, is all too familiar with that despondent feeling.
Guillet, who lives in a Bronx, New York, homeless shelter, typically menstruates for about 10 days and experiences heavy bleeding, she told Al Jazeera. But because of the shelter’s strict restrictions, she can’t always use the restroom as often as she needs to.
The fact that menstruation is a taboo topic to begin with, means that people who are able help, often aren’t even aware that such a vast need exists.’
Pandamonium: This is something that is certainly forgotten about those who menstruate on the streets. Please donate here to help us directly offer these individuals with some sanitary equipment to make life a little easier for them: [x]

I want a movie where literally everyone dies. Everyone. Like by some wild natural disaster or something.
It’s just like an hour and a half of showing desolated countries and cities and whatnot. There are no humans left.And then, with thirty seconds of film left, Sean Bean crawls out from underneath the rubble of a fallen building and starts laughing.
