HOW TO START A NEW BOOK:

— Wade Wilson

a guy about my age, frat boy type, just stepped off the bus, looked me right in the eyes, and said “i wish things were different.” then walked away. genuinely think it might have been a hallucination

You know when you feel hot and you try to take a selfie but turns out you’re a hideous goblin? Cause same

sorry I saw in your tag it’s cause you saw in the mirror you were great looking, don’t change that opinion cause of the camera, keep that opinion, it’s true. not cause I’m complimenting but because the camera is actually lying. I just wanted to say something because a lot of people on here feel they’re actually good looking when they look in the mirror but when they take a selfie it’s always ugly. there was a very popular post that replied to someone that said they look good in the mirror but ugly in selfies that it’s because the mirror is flipped, and that you look actually really look like you look in your selfies, and not the mirror, because that’s how people see you in real life “unflipped”.  and everyone left it at that, and mad people felt completely sad, even though it was like 99% wrong. The 1% truth about it is that yes it is flip (but even the flip changes nothing and you can just flip it back around), but the 99% false thing about it is that you don’t actually look like you do in your selfies. At all. Not a little bit. Selfies are close to the face, and they distort how you look EXTREMELY. Even the people you see who take Beautiful selfies faces are distorted, they’re just lucky it was distorted in a way that makes them look better. Some people may look very beautiful in real life, but are unlucky on how a selfie chooses to distort their face. (Because the selfie is close) and does barrel distortion and does multiple different types of others distortions Example of the distortion:

You’ll never notice it because you never question it, because you think it’s just giving you what you supposed to look like. But selfies/cameras actually change your whole entire face. The majority of people will even notice that their ears disappear during a selfie. And yes, this is every single selfie, again some people are lucky their face can be distorted into something good. Another example:

You may not have noticed, but that’s why most people who take selfies turn their heads to the side to try and find some kind of angle (that angle is still distorted, it’s just the distortion they subconsciously find best)

(That’s why I don’t take selfies and always tell people I swear I look better/different than my selfies). 

Again, when people say “I’m not photogenic”, that’s actually a completely real/backed word. The camera affects different faces differently.

So yes, the way you look in the mirror really IS how good you look. It may be flipped but that’s literally it.

 If you want your face not distorted, youll notice you look better when it’s someone else taking your picture standing further away. Some people even like the distortion because the distortion makes them look better. If it’s not for you all you have to do is do what professionals do, easily have someone take your picture from a further away (or set it further away, and then zoom in/crop to whatever you want)

Remember that even then there are distortions, rely on your mirror, despite what was said before, your selfies are not what you look like to people irl, if you look good in the mirror, you good.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R … My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this… STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions : S * Ask the individual to SMILE .. T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.

LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG 

Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.

Because I feel bad if I don’t reblog…

My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^

I remember a while ago here in UK there were stroke-identifying adverts. Their catchphrase was FAST:

We managed to save my nana with this information when she had her first stroke. 

As someone who has had a stroke, I appreciate this

Everyone reblog this!

I hope others are patient with you, and you are patient with others! Understand that we all have flaws and make mistakes and sometimes hurt people. But if we’re mindful of this and try to empathize with those around us, then I think everyone will be in a better place to find happiness!

Magneto sounds like some big super villain name but it’s literally just Magnet-o can you imagine if people were named like that. Charles would be Mindo, Peter would be Runo and beast would be Beasto. Not so tough now magneto.

Me: *is writing fanfiction*

Me: *feels confident in my writing skills for once*

1 hour later

Me: *re-reads everything*

Me:

“i really liked your post!”

Thanks How About You Reblog It :)

just in case you’re wondering what i’m talking about:

13%, 21%, a whooping 30%, 15%, 21% again. and those are the stories that do well.

it’s almost like tumblr has a reblog button you could USE

LIKE IT? REBLOG IT!

it’s not fucking difficult.

also i love how i gotta make these posts practically every time after i publish something.

look, i don’t give a fuck about money. i’m writing fic for fun. if you wanna throw a billion dollars at me, sure, you do you.

but literally all i want, all we all want, is for our stuff to be acknowledged. spread. REBLOGGED. 

because obviously you read it and liked it, right?

so now all you have to do is hit that little button. it looks a little like this

and then that’s that. 

or, on ao3, you write “i really liked this! thank you for sharing!”. and that’s that.

it takes absolutely ZERO EFFORT, and it makes you happy (because you liked what you just read) and it makes us happy (because our work can get potentially more readers), and everyone is happy.

and instead, there’s likes all around. 

and likes are a little like seeing someone having their arms full with things and they drop their keys and you walk past and say “hey dude, i hope that works out for you!”

writers spend hours, even days and weeks or months on fics, pouring ourselves into it, forgoing sleep and food sometimes just to finish something because we hope you’ll like it.

and we get a litte ❤️ for our troubles and that’s it.

and especially when you get statistics like above - 42 likes and 9 reblogs - it feels like a kick to the face. 

if every writer only wrote for themselves (”as you’re supposed to do uwu”), there wouldn’t be a single fic out there, because we’d keep all the fics. but we write for our audience too, hoping we’ll hear back, hoping people will spread our fics, “hey, look at this cool thing i read!”.

and that doesn’t happen.

so you start thinking “hey, maybe i shouldn’t publish this. it’s bad anyways, right? and it doesn’t make a difference if i do. it’s not like anyone cares.”

how many thousands and thousands of words for your favorite ship do you think are out there, saved on hard drives by authors who’ve given up wishing to publish their things, because “nobody cares.”

reblogging and commenting seems to be at an all time low at the moment. and you know what happens when you, the supplier, feel like there’s no demand out there? 

you stop supplying.

because nobody cares enough to want to share it.

“thoughts and prayers with your fic! it was so good!” that’s what the like button means, to make an extreme comparison here.

and honestly, i don’t understand why.

reblog. your. writers. it’s all we ask for.

No writers or artists are trying to sound “whiny” by asking for this. It’s literally how our work gets any recognition since we’re not doing it for money. If you’d like to make a writer’s day or an artist’s day, please consider reblogging works that you love. I promise you will put a smile on their face. <3 <3 <3

Very, very true! 

GOOD POST

We read the tags too, want to rant in them, go right ahead, I promise we’ll see them. 

literally the first two fics I clicked

This is literally discouraging. Like yeah but are you liking to support it? Liking to read later? Liking because you enjoyed it? If so, why didnt you at least comment and tell me? I can’t be a better writer without feedback or without reblogs. Reblogs say more than a like.

you’ll find your place

also that your lunch tastes good, you find twenty dollars on the ground, and that thing coming up that you were dreading turns out not so bad

Passing this good karma

I reblogged this 3 days ago and my skin got clear and I got a message from a guy who refers to me as queen yesterday. Good karma vibes all around.

ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME I REBLOGGED THIS YESTERDAY AND MY SKIN IS CLEAR AS F NOW

Friendly fruit tart chibird reminder! 🍓It really helps to hear it said directly to you, especially more than once.

God bless the person who made this

It makes me happy to think how much time this person put into making sure strangers were okay. Now it’d just be rude not to even try it, wouldn’t it.

Wow… this is so amazing. Thank you.

My therapist asked me to create something “motivating” so I made these.

lol.
