If you are beginning your semester of school this upcoming week or sometime soon; I am wishing that you transition smoothly into your academic environment. I hope that you develop comfortable relationships with your professors and instructors. I pray any financial burdens that have arisen be resolved timely and easily.

if someone tells you they consider a certain word a slur, you need to respect that. if it’s not describing your culture—if you can’t experience it firsthand—you don’t get to define it. you don’t get to determine whether it’s offensive or not, so please be considerate of those who do.

stop making excuses for people: if they lied to you, it’s because they’re a liar. if they cheated on you, it’s because they’re a cheater. if they hit you, it’s because they’re an abuser. there’s no “well maybe they…” or “but they…” there’s no excuse—they either knew what they were doing to you, or they didn’t care enough to consider how you’d feel.

if you’ve ever taken a shower to muffle your sobs, I’m sorry and I love you. if you’ve ever eaten alone in a bathroom stall, I’m sorry and I love you. if you’ve ever used makeup to conceal evidence of pain, I’m sorry and I love you. if you’ve ever looked in a mirror and wanted to change what you saw, I’m sorry and I love you. if you’ve ever questioned your worth because of someone else, I’m sorry and I love you. you’re not alone, and you don’t deserve the hurt you’ve experienced. you are good enough—more than good enough. you and valid, you have meaning, and you are loved even when you don’t know it.

Don’t fucking ghost people. Just be straight up with people and tell them how you feel. Don’t wanna talk anymore? Fine. Tell them. Don’t just fucking ghost people.

do you ever sit with a group of people and not say anything for  the entire time so theres no reason for you to be there youre just awkwardly listening to people converse while doing your own thing and wondering how its so easy for them to just talk or why its so hard for you to say anything

“7 years ago, I met you, 6 years ago, I fell for you, 5 years ago, I settle for you, 4 years ago, I loved you 3 years ago, I love you even more, 2 years ago, It was never going to work out, 1 year ago, I still fought for you 1 day ago, You love someone else.”

“Yes, I am going to talk about it. Again. You know why? Because problems don’t go away just because once we spoke about it for an hour. If you’re ‘irritated’ or ‘bored’ because of that, then you can leave. My problems are a part of my life and are affecting me significantly. I am not going to pretend otherwise and play the fool for you. If you’re so fed up listening to me talk about it a couple of times, can you imagine how it must be in my mind? Where these thoughts never stop? Or how it would be to actually live through my talks? It’s fine if this is not the ‘kind of energy’ you want in your life right now. But guess who I am not going to share my energy with once I am back up and doing better than you ever will? It’s a pair…the good and the bad. It’s not an exchange deal, this is not a supermarket. You can’t get good and good. But if you drop the bad, don’t try as much as reaching out for the good.”
