I spent my entire school career afraid of being wrong because I was taught that to make a mistake was embarrassing. Now I’ve discovered that making a mistake just means you are one step closer to the right answer, and everyday I have to work to shake the mindset that a single wrong answer equals failure.

“If you lose a baby, and nobody knew about it in the first place, does it make a sound? You’re damn right it does. And when you are brave, when you open your mouth and tell people about that hole that was punched through the center of your heart, you’ll be surprised at who comes to fill it, at how many women raise their hands and say “me, too.”

people always list important early inventions like ‘the wheel’ and ‘plow’ first, but usually never get around to one of the most important inventions of all time
you know what completely revolutionized mankind, Reginald? Fucking thread and needle, when we stopped having to be bare-ass naked all the time and could put clothe together for everything from shoes to bags to carry shit in, we could go farther, last longer, sustain ourselves in harsher conditions
domestic labor, ie ‘women’s work,’ is so undervalued that it barely touches the public’s mind on how monumental it was to be able to make things out of fabric, how game-changing the thread and needle were… wack

Imagine how better of a world this could be if all the random people coming out to say good things about you after you die, said it when you’re alive and well.

i understand when ur 13 and u just realized u have a mental illness and ur so relieved to know there are other ppl going thru the same thing as u, its easy to slip into the idea that your newly labeled thoughts and behaviors are normal and okay.
they are not. suicidal thoughts arent normal. violent impulses arent normal. delusions and hallucinations arent normal.
now that you have a name for this behavior you need to seek help. dont let tumblr trick you into thinking unhealthy coping mechanisms are the only ways to deal with your mental illness. dont let it fester, dont let it worsen. seek as much help as you can. actively try to better yourself.
