Reblogging because omg this is beatufil and they don't need to know the characters to find the message beautiful. ❤️
Nordictalia: “And I came to tell you....”
“...that you are not your past. The person you were doesn’t get a say to define who you are right now. Where you came from, what lead you here, what you did, who you used to be... they all don’t matter. You are growing and becoming better, leading a road to redemption and improvement. You deserve happiness; you are worth forgiving.”
“...that you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing; you’re beautiful and perfect and enough just the way you are. You’re allowed to have flaws and you’re allowed to have strength. You’re allowed to discover who you are and see the world for yourself. You’re allowed because you don’t need that permission from anyone but yourself. Allow yourself to be human, to be beautiful, to be perfectly imperfect. Allow yourself to be alive.”
“...that you are loved, so loved. You are not alone, and never forgotten. You are not less than anyone else. You’re just as valid, just as worthy, and just as amazing and wonderful— arguably more. You’re so beautiful and amazing, so strong and brave. You are smart and capable and great, and there’s more in the world for you to see and do, and you have to be here to find them.”
“...your progress is still progress. A small task done or a few minutes out of the house is progress. Backtracking, slumps, and bad days are part of the journey to recovery; no one said it would be easy. You’re here and you’re alive, and that’s enough of a sign that you are strong enough to make it to the end, that there is more for you at the end of the line. For now, all you have to do is take care of yourself, to love yourself, to keep breathing and keep trying. You’re doing great. Keep it up.”
“...you are needed alive. You have value and worth just for being yourself. There are things in this world that are thought of, seen, made, and felt, in the way that only you can do. You have so many places to see, things to do, people to meet, things to feel. Adventure awaits you, comfort awaits, love and recovery... it’s all waiting for you.Your life is worth living, in a way that you get to decide. There’s so much more in this great universe for you; please be there to see it.”
Research has shown that Hand Talk is still being used by a small number of deaf and hearing descendants of the Plains Indian cultures.
“Hand Talk is endangered and dying quickly,” said Melanie McKay-Cody, who identifies herself as Cherokee Deaf and is an expert in anthropological linguistics.
McKay-Cody is the first deaf researcher to specialize in North American Hand Talk and today works with tribes to help them preserve their signed languages. She is pushing for PISL to be incorporated into mainstream education of the deaf.
If you see a police car or a cop with a speaker looking thing on it, FUCKING RUN. It’s known as an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), a device that, when activated, can permanently damage your hearing and cause serious harm. If you’re too close, you’ll be left in a lot of pain and squirming on the ground permanently deaf. Ear plugs do not work. Unless you have one of those shooting range headphones, you do not stand a chance against them. Again, if you see them pull up, RUN. This is what they look like.
Ah yes... This is the only thing I need in my life. Now stab me in the chest with a spatula so my death is nice...

I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.
People are not just “good” or “bad”.
People are not a list of labels.
People are complex, situations are complex.
I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.
I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.
I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.
I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.
Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.
Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.
Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.
Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmful to you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up.
Be sincere. Use your best judgment.
