Do you think you're fat? Well guess what,
You are not fat
You have fat
You also have fingernails
You are not fingernails
Do you think that you're not pretty? Well guess what,
You are under no obligation to look pretty
Not when you go to the store,
not when you sit in the classroom,
not when you're sitting in your own house,
You are never obligated to dress up to look pretty for others
Pretty is not the rent you pay to exist in the world as a woman/man.
Sometimes you need to remind yourself that you were the one who carried you through heartache. You are the one who sits with the cold body on the shower floor and picks it up. You are the one who feeds it, who clothes it, who tucks it into bed, and you should be proud of that. Having the strength to carry yourself when everyone around you is trying to put you down, that is the strongest thing in the universe. And you, the person whose sitting behind this screen, you are strong and you can do this. I believe in you.
My DMs are open 24/7 if anyone needs to talk to me or just have someone to rant to.
"Stars are not small or gentle. They are writhing and dying and burning. They are not here to be pretty. I am trying to learn from them." - Caitlyn Siehl
(I also found this while I was looking for that one:) "in a wilderness,
with an unheld hand,
you will learn
to love yourself just as madly,
with the fierceness,
the recklessness,
that you have loved them"

You can't steal other people's words and post them as your own. Especially when people tell you you did good. That's called plagiarism. It would have taken even less time to find the screenshots and paste the links, and it's a hell of a lot less shitty.
doubt but whatever
Heads up, you can't do that at school because the stuff you user for school is copyrighted and that's actually illegal as well as rude
Once again, no need to be rude,
Yes, I already knew that and what I did was wrong. It's not an excuse, but I have problems expressing my thoughts sometimes. So next time, I'll just copy and paste. Ok?
Look, I don't want anyone to get a bad impression nor make a big deal out of this, what happened was a genuine mistake, I apologized, now lets move on.
I agree, let's just move on and focus on the positive message. It doesn't matter who says the words, they'll always be true and valuable. (Thank-you for the og posts though, Vinegar.)
