This is a shout out of gratitude. For a few reasons, the videos, the quotes, the gifs... they all led up to a sprinkle of confidence. I used to spend all day online looking for ways to improve myself, for makeup, diets, clothes, the ways to attract boys. I began to believe that some how online I could find myself behind all these things. That I needed to change myself for someone else. Thank you, because now I know that's not needed. I looked so long and it was under my nose the whole time.

Love this! And love that we played a part in helping you find your way.

Sending you love and continued confidence :)

“when your little girl
asks you if she’s pretty
your heart will drop like a wineglass
on the hardwood floor
part of you will want to say
of course you are, don’t ever question it
and the other part
the part that is clawing at
you
will want to grab her by her shoulders
look straight into the wells of
her eyes until they echo back to you
and say
you do not have to be if you don’t want to
it is not your job
both with feel right
one will feel better
she will only understand the first
when she wants to cut her hair off
or wear her brother’s clothes
you will feel the words in your
mouth like marbles
you do not have to be pretty if you don’t want to
it is not your job

Our Media and Photoshop...  → stumbleupon.com

The debate on retouching is definitely a heated one, and none so much more than the retouching done on celebrities. Just recently Noam Galai posted about the unrealistic retouching done on the new …

Was on stumble upon and found this link… it may help you realize how unrealistic our media really is.

I started having like flashbacks to a night a few months ago, when I had sex with a 'friend'. All i really keep flashing back to is me fighting to keep my pants on and repeatedly saying no, but I was really drunk and that's all I remember. I'm pretty sure I gave consent, and I don't understand why It's now bothering me all of a sudden, and I have a psych intake appt coming up, and I don't know if I'm supposed to even mention the flashbacks, I don't really want to have to talk about it though..
