Please don’t. No matter how dark the sky’s may seem, no matter how stuck you feel, no matter how deep of a hole you feel like you’re in, no matter what people do, say, or think to make you feel this way; it gets better. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. There’s someone who can help you out. There’s going to be better days. Yes, it will be hard, but it will get better. I promise.
As someone who has been in that situation multiple times through my high school years I know what it feels like. I know what it’s like to think about death. I know how scary the thoughts of “would anyone care if I wasn’t here?’ or “do I really have a purpose in this world?” are. Sometimes scarier yet, what you think the answers to those questions are. I asked myself the same questions day in and day out....

I want you to know. that it is okay to not see the world through eyes of hatred but of wonder. I want you to know. That, it is okay to sit and just be. I want you to know. That not all men are here to destroy you, some are here to live their lives and to find love. I want you to know.
That, not all women are soft and supple. Some are cold and vile, and they are capable of atrocities that we have been bred to believe are only capable at the hand of a man.
I want you to know that. I know of the darkness of the night but I also know about the brightness of the moon. I want you to know that whether it is a man or woman they are a human and humans are capable of such great and horrid things. I want you to know. It is okay to live your life for you and no one else. I want you to know. That,...

so here we go again talking about a topic not everyone wants to bring up. cultural appropriation. let me just start off by saying that im totally against this whole thing and when people that live in america make this big fuss about cultural appropriation i want to basically lose my mind.
WE ARE IN AMERICA PEOPLE AND THERE IS A LOT OF FREEDOM HERE, INCLUDING THE FREEDOM TO WEAR, SAY, LOOK WHATEVER WAY YOU WANT.
when i first saw that video on the african woman calling out that white man for the way he did is hair i was in udder shock.
yes sure in your culture you may have dreads in your head for a certain reason but youre in america and we dont have a specific culture so we dont have a "rule book" as to the ways we can and cant do our hair and the certain clothing material we can...

Late night calls come to my surprise
You’re a little too late I cannot translate
These meanings you arrange like a science experiment
My butanes running out but my knife cuts deep
Dissected on this petri dish your words spread like disease
I play mad scientist, transcribing what you say
I can't get this right it's consuming me, late nights
Lighting strikes, tesla coils burn bright
The formula is destroying me, blood stained lab coats
Your under my knife, show me your mind
Parts of you under this microscope
Magnified so deep, I see you crawling
As you try to escape your victim to this now
Your in disbelief, "how could this turn around on me?"
You got what you wanted, this mind surgery
You didn't think me capable, you had me on my knees
Unsuspecting violence, you've...

Dear feminists,
You claim that you are all about equal rights for women or gender equality or whatever it is you're saying; but... in reality, your agenda speaks otherwise. And when I mean otherwise, I mean your purpose for the movement is completely different from what you claim you want to promote. Apart from supporting the movement of killing the unborn children (aka: abortion), I see you putting the hashtag #killallmen on Twitter, next thing, you want to get rid of Father's Day, then you want to ban the word "bossy", and then teach little girls how to swear all in the name of feminism? Yeah... real women's rights movement - not. And btw, I am a woman. Yes - a woman who is strongly against this movement. Though I am still at my early stage of adulthood, let it be known to you that I...

To Chris McCann/EBible Fellowship, Gunther Von Haringa Sr./Bible Ministries International, the Latter Rain Facebook group, and the rest of the modern-day Pharisees dragging God's Word through the mud, trifling with a living document and mixing it with your own dead and deadly message:
Salvation is not over. Frankly I would be surprised if you bother clicking through the below URL and actually reading the Bible study to which it points.
In an effort to promote this Bible study to its target audience, I've run up against the tallest and thickest and hardest brick wall ever built.
You all declare this murderous message and take careful steps to make sure that no one is allowed to challenge you. Why is that? Why do you not allow comments on your websites and why have closed,...

you've heard this countless times over your life, but it does get better. it may not get better today or tomorrow or even this year, but I can promise you it does get better. surround yourself with positive friends and family, and make sure you have someone you can talk to if you need it, but don't take advantage. your friends need a listening ear too sometimes. go to therapy, don't be ashamed.
if a health professional recommends medication, have a trial period. but please be aware that meds are not the only answer to your mental health issues, so don't worry if none are right for you. don't keep secrets from your therapist, they want to help and can't do it without your full cooperation. admit when you need help.
try to find a positive coping mechanism, and try different ones....

Dear Super Christian,
I type this as a struggling Christian. One who struggles with lust, depression, identity, bitterness, anger, etc. When I wake up most days, the thing I probably want to do the least is get in the scriptures. I know the scriptures give me life in the long run but sometimes it just doesn't seem relevant to the day. The church, although I know is supposed to be a hospital for the broken, seems like a museum for the marvelous. Sculptures crafted together in perfect fashion to show the world how broken it is and how well put together the church is. This is not my condemnation. I don't have that right. This is my observation.
I tend to gravitate toward the crowd not really part of a church. Those people that the church may view as unredeemable. Those people...

Dear Bishop Chartres,
I am writing regarding your recent Daily Mail Article.
I had to check that it wasn’t April 1st, and so, apparently, did a few other people commenting on your article.
I have been aware for years of the Daily Mail being the first point of call for Church of England Publicity stunts, so to speak, and I sometimes wonder now if they do it as a backhanded jeer rather than genuinely supporting the Church or if the Daily Mail is simply degenerating in the same way the CofE is.
At this moment as I write, The Daily Mail online has 3100 comments on your article, almost unanimously condemning you and the Church of England for your press article.
The criticisms, exhaustive, include:
• Horror at your ‘Sainting’ of David Beckham. Because as a clergyman...

Losing yourself is hard, trying to find WHO you are again?
Well, it feels impossible.
When you change who you are for someone else,
You start to forget what YOU liked, what YOUR passions were. You lose your sense of direction but instead wait for instruction and permission.
Green means red, "yes" in front of people means "no" when they' leave, you start having to watch what you say in front of your friends, co-workers and family.
That life becomes their victory. Their verbal and mental abuse causing drastic wounds no one will ever see. But, when you get the nerve to leave, the BRAVERY to stand up and refuse to be told who you are, the feeling is indescribable.
Scared, brave, confident, FREE. The FREEDOM will bring tears to your eyes.
Then,
You feel lost because its at that...
