Summarized DSM-V Criteria

I have to reblog for two reasons:

1)This is actually a good way to get people into reading.

2)That passive aggressive joke in the last one is pure genius.

I fucking hate it when you’re in such a fantastically giddy mood and then you see one simple little thing that makes you think, “oh” and then you just get this empty feeling in your chest and you get nauseous and the world just crumbles and you want to just lay under a blanket and close your eyes and fall asleep and never wake up.

Society hates teenage girls and everything they enjoy.

I can’t even tell you how much this screwed with me as a teen. I spent a whole decade of my life trying to prove myself to people determined to see me negatively. If you’re a teen and you’re reading this just live your life. Like what you like and if someone tells you its dumb it’s because they’re an asshole. There’s nothing wrong with you.

Read what you want to read, eat and drink what you want to drink, wear what you want to wear and watch what you want to watch.

People are going to judge you if you fit the mould and if you don’t, including grown women who should really know better.

Is ok to be you, you’re enough.
