Sometimes, writing is the act of excavation. Sometimes, the right poem can reveal a truth the author didn’t even know existed. Sometimes, the poem is written and the poet is caught off guard, surprised and exposed, as if honesty was akin to nakedness. This poem startled me because of how “of me” and “not of me” it was–a truth that I hid from myself, a reflection I didn’t recognize but knew was mine. // You can find this poem and more in my book #todaymeansamen, available at the link in my bio. 📷 by @ashleyblank_. #poetry #poem #tw #bodyimage #selflove

Smart Girls, it’s World Suicide Prevention Day and we’re here to remind you…well, that we’re here. We know that some days are better than others, and it’s okay not to be okay. Ask for help. Let the tears flow. 

We know what it’s like to feel the depression seep into every part of your being, to face the stigma of having a therapist or taking medication, to cry alone at night and to think the only way to escape the pain is to escape life itself. 

That doesn’t mean your story has to end. 

Your life is valuable. There is something in you the whole world needs. Put your mental health first – you deserve to be happy. 

If you live in the United States, call 1-800-273-TALK to be connected to a crisis counselor in your area. It’s free and open 24/7. Their website also offers a chat option if you are uncomfortable talking on the phone.

A list of hotlines worldwide can be found here. Remember, everything is confidential. 

The hotlines can also be used if you think someone around you is suicidal. 

We’ll see you tomorrow.

In case you haven’t heard, coloring is great for grown-ups. So in the interest of helping you relax (and, OK fine, also so we can do some of our own coloring) we’re going to start sharing some of the delightful coloring books we come across in our mail pile.

First up is Posh Coloring Book: Japanese Designs for Fun and Relaxation, which was pretty darn satisfying to work on:

What did I learn from my first foray into grown-up coloring? Mostly that I need to start keeping my high school pencil sharpener close at hand. (Yes, I still have my high school pencil sharpener.)

Cranes, I’m coming for you next:
