doctor: ur acne is being caused by stress Me: so it’s incurable :/ doctor: no! You just need to find a way to relax and stop being stressed Me: so it’s incurable :/

I think probably the best feeling is sharing music and art n books and having someone else appreciate it. It’s not so much The Fact that someone else is validating your taste as it is that ur like.. Sharing something u love and someone else is slowly falling in love w it too. Something very satisfying about that

i’m so grateful for the people who don’t give up on me and are patient with me while i’m distant and trying to figure myself out

Why don't we talk about Portugal more?

They decriminalized ALL drugs. Every single one. Yes, even that one. If you get caught w. more than a 10 days supply (what ever that means) of any drug you meet in front of a Doctor, Lawyer and Social worker about drug addiction. They may or may not give you a fine but essentially there’s no penalty.

AND IT WORKED! ADDICTION RATES DROPPED. HIV RATES IN INJECTION USERS DROPPED. DEATH BY DRUG OD PLUMMETED.

Potugal has shown us that when we treat drug addiction as a medical/health issue, instead of a moral one, it is more efficient.

I once pointed this out to my mother and she just stared at me, in stunned silence for ages. 

There will always be a girl who is less sober, less secure, with less friends walking in a darker part of town. I want her safe just as much as I want me safe.

THE BOLDED

my favorite way to hang out is so lowkey like u wanna watch reality tv all day in our sweats?? ok. wanna do homework n barely even talk except to complain about how much work it is?? ok. wanna read different books while sharing an entire tub of ice cream?? ok. going out is so much effort like sometimes u just wanna enjoy someone’s company without doing anything “special” and i think those are actually the most special times
