“The greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next.” — President Obama (via kileyrae)

• self harm: is not an attention seeking phase. it is an addiction.
• eating disorders: are not a fashion statement. They are addictions and disorders that slowly kill the individual struggling with it.
• suicide: is not the cowards way out. it becomes the last option only when someone feels that there is nothing left. but thats not true, there is always something new to try. keep trying new things until you find the one thing that distracts your thoughts.
• depression: is not just feeling sad one day. it is debilitating. you feel like the world is crushing you down and even getting out of bed takes so much energy, it becomes a miracle when you get dressed in the morning.
• anxiety: is not being rude to people around you. some people just dont like being touched or around crowds, please respect that.
• bipolar: isnt just mood swings.
• mpd/did: isnt made up. it is caused by severe trauma. usually childhood sexual abuse.
• abuse: it is never ever your fault. please tell someone before it gets worse, so that the person hurting you doesnt hurt someone else.
• rape: clothes a person wear dont cause rape. rape isnt exclusively male on female, males can rape males, females can rape females, and females can rape males. never blame the victim.

Troubling dream about mission trip to Syria (reasons I shouldn’t listen to NPR) followed by the usual nonsense equals a very tired LJ. I hate nightmares.

“Her Crowning Glory” (1911) - Laurence Trimble

(via bellecs)

“Tell me, rabbi: why is it that when you ask a poor man for help, he does everything he can to help you—but a rich man won’t even look at you?”
“That’s simple, Avram. Look out of the window; tell me what you see.”
“Well, rabbi, I see Chava talking to Isaac, I see Mr. Rapaport on his way to the market, I see the butcher’s wife walking down the street with her son…”
“Very well. Now, look into the mirror: what do you see?”
“Just myself, rabbi.”
“You see, Avram, this window is made of glass, and that mirror is made of glass—but it only takes to add a little silver in to stop noticing anyone but yourself…” — From a Polish jokes-blog.

This is great!
