terriblemothers:
I feel so fiercely fond and protective of teenage girls. All of them. Girls with pin curls and carefully applied cat eyes and girls who live in sweatpants. Girls blasting music through headphones or reading quietly in corners; girls who sweat blood over sports or who have never been on a field and never intend to be. Girls with razor bumps from shaving clumsily in the shower...

In the announcement, NIMH Director Thomas Insel...

I'm Not Even Sure If I Say YOLO Ironically... →
existenceandidentity:
Did Jesus actually exist? The general consensus, with a very small minority dissent, is that there was a man, probably named Jesus, on whom the gospel accounts are roughly based. I am not satisfied with this answer for a few reasons.
1. The answer is both yes and no. There was and there was not…
Ultimately, I think the question “did Jesus exist?” is much less...

Down The Well (A Series)
It must be horse show season, because the people I’m volunteering for ran late (as usual) and opted not to pick up their volunteer.
I’m not angry. In fact, the only thing I really thought when I found out I’d been left behind was, “Well, that was worth getting up at 5:30am for.”
In the interests of my commitment to liveblog my mental illness, I share a thing.

The Point
Okay.
I have filled out the paperwork.
I am going to be assigned an intake worker.
The odds are against me getting a psychiatrist, because there are not enough of them for all the broken people in this province, but at least things are in motion, and no longer in that horrible limbo of At What Point Do I Call This Serious.
It’s now serious.
That’s okay.
Serious means you can get...

the first step towards confidence is not being afraid to be ugly
once you get over the fear of being unattractive and stop equating beauty with other good things in life (friends, love, happiness) it’s a lot easier to love yourself unconditionally
your job is not to sit around and be pretty and easy on everyone else’s eyes
your job is to do whatever the fuck you want and look...

4-8yr Olds Describing Love.
Rebecca, age 8: When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.
Terri, age 4: Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Danny, age 7: Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.
Nikka, age 6: If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.
Elaine, age 5: Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.
Chris, age 7: Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
Mary Ann, age 4: Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

Basic Fainting Technique
finishingschoolbooks:
Once the gentleman has been manipulated into position, the lady may proceed with her intended mission. But whether the objective is to steal some secret prototype off his personage, or place a wooden hair stick through his heart, be certain it is done without wrinkling your dress.
