you know what’s more freeing than killing yourself? running away to a small town and getting a job as a waitress. buying a cheap car and sticking a bed in the back and driving southwest. adopting a cat. learning a new instrument. moving apartments. visiting a friend in another city. chopping all your hair off.

you can kill your current life without dying. you can kill this version of you and make a new one.

maybe I’m just a bipolar sucker for rebirth but sometimes that thought is all that keeps me alive

pulling a wholesome gone girl > actually killing yourself

if u weren’t aware of salvation army’s homophobia, its prety hardcore

a guy in a salvos truck yelled at me and my gf while we were kissing today so I was thinking of this

Do you know, when I was in high-school I went to the mall near my house with my girlfriend to do some Christmas shopping.

We were there, sixteen year old me and seventeen year old her, holding hands and window-shopping, minding our own business.

This Salvation Army shitheel gets aggro about it in the middle of the mall and I’m there totally flabbergasted cause like, it’s christmas

Only, 16!Tabi had even less composure than 26!Tabi, so I lost my fucking mind on her.

Thing is: when I’m really angry, I don’t rage, I go all cold and apparently that freaks people out, because I could see my gf backing up and the lady getting tense and then I realized that anger doesn’t solve problems.

So instead, I started wailing.

Picture this: 5’4, tiny, blonde haired high school girl with her little violin on her back and pearls in her ears just as PTA-approved as could be, full on sobbing in the hallway.

Just, sobbing like my dog’s been shot.

Now my gf’s like, “oh fuck” and the lady’s like “oh fuuuuck!” and I’m here, head thrown back, tears down my cheeks and in that shrill, distressed, /loud/ voice, “WHY WOULD YOU B-b-be so MEAN?! It’s CHRISTMAS!”

And the lady’s like “please stop Oh fuck” because now we have a crowd, and this Molly Weasley of a woman putters over, “what’s the matter, dear?”

And mall security’s coming and this bell ringer is looking very uncomfortable so I just look at this matronly ellen-watching suburban housewife lady, eyes wide and wet and my lip wobbling.

“I was, she s-said, s-s-she said I was going to HELL!”

And I burst right back into tears.

Maaaaaaaan, they didn’t even stick around to ask why she’d said it. Soon as I said it, Mall po-po bounced her like a fucking pogo stick.

We get outside and my girlfriend’s like “that is the most Slytherin thing I have ever seen anyone do.”

It was four years before I saw the Army back in that mall.

that is beautiful

Holiday reminder: don’t let anyone get away with trying to make you feel bad about yourself.

They are also violently transphobic, and Salvation Army ran homeless shelter refused to let in Jennifer Gale because she was trans, leading to her freezing to death on the sidewalk right outside it!

So yeah, they’re not just ‘homophobic’, they’re bigoted fucking murderers.

(Wikipedia article on her death conveniently (for SA) omits Salvation Army connection, linking only to expired articles from local newspapers)

SA claims that they didn’t turn her away, and accept all homeless people, except, it’s not like Jennifer Gale was only trans woman refused shelter by Salvation Army, making this denial appear to be worth less than bullshit:

https://thinkprogress.org/salvation-army-refuses-housing-shelter-to-transgender-woman-2660c79b4cd4#.bo53qrxf9

http://www.msnbc.com/way-too-early/transgender-woman-claims-she-was-refused-housing

and to think i was gonna help my aunt with this…

Annual reminder not to trust what our SA donations actually support.

There are plenty of other charities who help out the needy this time of year. Support a local food bank or community housing center.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT I’ve told ppl this but now I have sources

Salvation Army are scum. Judgemental assholes.

And let’s all remember that one twitter thread from a homeless woman in a Salvation Army shelter SPECIFICALLY warning people that the SA is a piece of shit and nobody should donate to them

fuck my mom was like “its fine its not like everyone who works there is homophobic”  

this is awful. please spread around, it’s important.

The Salvation Army has been disgusting for a long while

I reblogging this now, as a reminder that this is unacceptable REGARDLESS of the time of year.

Why is purging so dangerous??

wannabe-alices-diary:

Purging is extremly dangerous!

It’s very harmful to your stomach, since you overproduce acid that will start to digest your stomach walls and harmful to your throat since the acid is irritating it. It can cause such things as throwing up blood, popping blood vessles in your eyes, it will ruin your teeth to the point where they will fall out, it can cause you to be unable to digest food properly anymore, it will hurt your digestive system and it will make you addictied.  

Please never, never purge anon! It’s horrible and will ruin your life….

I hope you understand. please stay safe! ♥

bigbrokovu:

Don’t scroll past this.

Reblog to let your followers know that they should never start cutting.

I know this website makes it seem like that shit is normal but trust me, it’s not. And once you start, you’ll never really start and it will haunt you for life.

It never gets easier, it never stops hurting, it isn’t (and will never be) “cool” or “the only way out”

Please don’t start. If you already are cutting, tell sometime and get help, it’s not as scary as it seems and you will be better off by it.

If even one person reads this… Please. You matter.

Don’t start.

perfect-skin12:

Alright y’all. Listen up.

I know I’ve been posting some dark shit these last few days. And In none of them did I put a “do not do this” caption so this is my do not post.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT go down this path.

If you are on tumblr trying to trigger yourself or get tips on KILLING your body please LOG OFF now.

It is not cute to have an eating disorder. It’s not a quick diet to fit into that cute outfit. It’s not oh I dont feel like eating today.

It’s thoughts SCREAMING at you to not eat. Telling you you are DISGUSTING and not WORTH LIVING. Even the SMALLEST amount of calories makes you HATE yourself. And do you wanna know the worst part?

It NEVER goes away!!

I was 13. In the 8th grade when I first saw a movie on LMN about eating disorders.

I thought to myself wow I wanna be that thin. Got on google and searched “pro Ana”

My life has never been the same!

When I was 18 I found out I was pregnant and that love for my unborn child saved me. And put me into recovery.

AFTER 5 YEARS.

I am 24 now. And I have relapsed. But you wanna know what? In those 6 years of “recovery” even tho I ate the thoughts NEVER WENT AWAY.

I always had the voice in my head telling me “just don’t eat”

And now 11 years after I first started down this path I am STILL doing the same destructive things.

And I might NOT SURVIVE this time.

Please please please do not do this to yourself. It is not worth it.

IT NEVER GOES AWAY.

maigredoll:

When I first looked up #Pro Ana, i didn’t think my life would end up being like… this.

Okay y’all read:

I wish someone told me what it was like to have anorexia when I googled pro ana in 2014. I was 12.

I wish someone told me that my Thinspo was a result of unhealthy lifestyle.

I wish someone told me to not go on ana blogs.

This is not an admirable lifestyle, this is nowhere fun or a game. Run the fuck away while you still can, DONT LET THEM TRICK YOU INTO THIS LIFESTYLE.

Seriously, my biggest fear is that someone healthy sees this and considers entering this community.

BECAUSE THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THIS DISEASE!!

I know,

You think it’s a choice, I know you think you can stop once you reach your ugw, I know you think you have it under control – but lemme tell ya:

You’re wrong

It starts with a simple diet. 1600 kcals become 1200, 1200 become 900. 900 become 600 and 600 turn into 300.

Being aware of what you eat becomes being aware of every single calorie that you could consume in any way.

A wish turns into an obsession.

You think you lose 5 pounds then you stop.

But 5lbs turn into 10.

10 turn into 15.

15 turn into 30.

And once you reach your goal weight, it won’t magically stop.

I know you’re too fat to have this disease, I know you don’t deserve recovery.

It’s never too late to seek help. You deserve recovery.

Talk to your teacher, your parents, or your friends.
