[…] When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.
I’ve been yelling this for years

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

Something terrible happened here..
A little story about ghosts, and roommates, and getting to know each other.
men love to be shoved and grabbed and thrown around and pinned down its like enrichment for them
We desperately need food for the kids, for my family, for my grandma's cats aka ours as she feeds them shitty, cheap garbage. I can starve whatever I've done ut since childhood, but please think of the kids. It's a lot to ask but if you have anything to spare, please share
Grandma does not allow us to eat, use or touch anything of hers she doesn't want us to taint it with our corruption and vile souls. She has anger issues and strikes out easily, she abused my mom mentally and let her husband sexually and physically abused her. We used to live on our own in a house... that had holes in the walls and floor next to no plumbing and a bad exterior.
Please anything is of a major help, a quarter or a dollar. I'm sorry to be annoying and if you're tired of seeing my posts feel free to block me. Thanks to those who reblog or helped in the past.
