i strived for nearly a decade to be your specific kind of fragile. sparrow shoulders, matchstick fingers. soft hands and quiet lungs. you never could appreciate what it was to be admired.
i had always been jealous of you. for your softness and your smallness. i wanted to make myself small too. i have always taken up too much space and been far too loud for my own good. i wish i’d realized how lost you were. when you stripped yourself of your skin and tried to make yourself something sharp, i should not have felt so much contempt. i have always felt too sharp. like people cut themselves on my edges. and you were all the things i wished i had been, so when you gave that up i thought you were ungrateful. it was selfish of me and i’m sorry. and i’m sorry i felt you didn’t deserve this illness i know we both have. you do not know that i know, but i do. how you wrote it all down in a tiny notebook like i did. and i know it was awful for my goal to be becoming smaller than you. i didn’t know you were suffering too because you were already beautiful.

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain
anyone else sometimes listen to “prom queen” by beach bunny, as motivation for your ED, even though it’s supposed to be a commentary about how awful it is that society’s expectations for girls cause them to starve and harm themselves,
Low Budget Agere Haul~💗💕🎀😋
I know some of you age regressors are young, and maybe don’t have a job, or maybe your short on cash (like me), but don’t fear! All of what you see here cost me $11.37 USD!! The stickers, coloring book, and hairties all came from dollar tree. The little plates and silverwear came target! The trays cost $0.99!! And the bowls 0.59!! The spoons and such (all of them) cost me $3.00.
So, if you’re short on cash, or maybe need to save up, you still have great options for little items! Have fun guys!
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
