This Ted Talk has been the most helpful in my own “foxhole” pit recently and I hope this can reach out and help anyone else! A special thank you to my two true friends while I was side tracked by an abusive friend who only used me and I allowed that friendship to continue for far too long. It infuriates me to see how toxic this one friendship was that I lost connection with my closest and truest friends and others. Also for others who dealt with an alcoholic, watch minute 16. It hit me harder than any article and personal research I’ve done yet.

In case no one has told you this today:

-I love you

-You are worth it

-You are beautiful/handsome/cute

-You are an amazing person

-You deserve the world

-Your life is worth so much

-You are worth more than starving/binging/purging

-You are worth more than a piece of metal

-You are worth more than the names people call you

-You may hate your life right now but always remember you have at least one good moment a day

My aunt put her child up for adoption. Her stance was basically to let her have a chance at a happy life even though she herself couldn't give it to her. I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all.

I mean good for her, but you do realize that we have an issue of not enough kids being adopted. So they end up in the foster care system.

You’ve come a lot farther than you often think. You’re doing so great! :))

In case you thought only the CDC’s practices were questionable/criminal…

NIH Tested AIDS Drugs on Foster Children

Earlier this May, the Associated Press reported that National Institutes of Health researchers tested AIDS drugs on hundreds of foster children in the late 1980s and ‘90s. In many instances, the drugs were given without independent advocates who monitor the safety of these children. Ed Gordon explores the controversy with two AIDS experts: Dr. Jonathan Fishbein of the National Institutes of Health and Baylor College of Medicine’s Dr. Mark Kline.

I needed this so badly. I always wonder if it will end because I want it to get better. So desperately. But I’m going to hold on.
