There is something wrong with hurting yourself so much to be skinny.
There is something wrong with being so disgusted with your body that you hurt yourself.
There is something wrong with thinking that you have to hurt yourself to get people to like you.

If you ever think about suicide, please come to me.
Or call the suicide hotline.

It’s never the answer, bbs.
No matter how rough life gets, suicide isn’t the way to go.
Remember, someone loves you and it does get better.
I promise.

Oh Tumblr.
cerena: I keep seeing reblogs like “Don’t think because you’ll realise your life sucks and you don’t know how you get here” or “Sticks and stones may break her bones but names will make her starve herself to death“… I tend to unfollow on sight.
I mean, I get it. When it comes to cookie-cutter bite-sized sayings, Tumblr is the compendium for every inane, self-absorbed, zinger any emo kid ever had...

nicolettemason:
Real women are tall. Real women are short. They’re wide. Gaunt. Their bones can stick out of their collarbones, or be disguised by curves or fat. There are real women with breasts and real women with flat chests. There are real women who have had to have their breasts or ovaries removed, and not having those doesn’t make them any less of a real woman. There are even real women...

Hospital saves woman’s life; is told by Catholic leadership not to do it again.
rosietint:
Now, Bishop Thomas Olmstead of the Diocese has written a letter to the hospital in which he doesn’t deny that the procedure saved the woman’s life, but nevertheless deems it morally wrong and asks the hospital to promise that a life-saving abortion “will never occur again at...
Dear "theskinnycity"
sopranoblue:
These are mantras taken directly from this thinspiration blog:
“I want to be so thin that my hip bones will hurt people when I hug them.” Hurt them? Honestly? Why would hurting someone in any capacity be a good reason to get skinnier? People wouldn’t remember you as the hot skinny chick - they’d remember you as the girl who stabbed them with her fucking pelvis.
“I want to be so...

Dear tumblr girls; part 2.
daleksontumblr:
Here are some rules/some advice I need to share with you:
You’re all as adorable as Luna Lovegood
You’re all as smart as Hermione Granger.
You’re all as beautiful as Fleur Delacour.
Not all guys have the emotional range of Ron Weasley.
There are guys out there who will love you just as much as Snape.
Girls like Pansy Parkinson aren’t worth your time. They’re all liars.

goal: make life positive. i will not be self loathing. i will not be lonely.
How to succeed when others fail
istitchyoubitch:
Press on.
I believe perseverance is one of the most admirable qualities in a person. Although starting something may be hard, I get really tired of everything if I spend too much time on it and I feel like giving up. I’ve learned to use this to my advantage, by envisioning the reward - the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s like diving. The task is the actual diving itself,...

oceanofmind:
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune...

Someone told me this some time last year
istitchyoubitch:
Good people see good in others.
Selfish people see selfishness in others.
Evil people see evil in others.
Inspirational people see inspiration in others.
Cruel people see cruel in others.
Kind people see kind in others.
So next time you go around accusing people of being “this” or “that”, look within yourself first.
thoughtfulbeing:
I gotta tell myself to stop thinking that I’m a loser. Seriously.
We all need to tell that voice to shut up.

I Wish You Enough.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough “Hello’s” to get...
When I ‘like’ certain posts, I’m actually saving them so I can reply to the poster later. The iphone tumblr app feels too clunky to truly post with and doesn’t even offer the reply option.
LGBT Laughs: 10 Reasons Why Same-Sex Marriage Is... →
lgbtlaughs:
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. 02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. 03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has...

As much as possible, I really would like to stay on the ground and not fall this time.

luckyshirt: Dear College Students: →
You picked your major and determined the course of your professional life before you were really ready to do so.
Please don’t be offended by this.
Some of you were ready, because your passions aligned correctly.
But most of you picked what you thought would be best, well before you understood what it would mean in the decades to come.
Some of you are already discovering this to be...
givesmehope:
I am a teacher for second graders. This past week we’ve been learning about facts and opinions. I said the statement “You are beautiful.” A little girl raised her hand and said it was a fact. When I told her no she said, “Everybody is beautiful. No matter what, they are beautiful.” Little kids like that GMH.
