having d.i.d or osdd doesnt make you broken having tourettes doesnt make you broken being autistic doesnt make you broken having adhd doesnt make you broken having ocd doesnt make you broken having a personality disorder doesnt make you broken having bipolar disorder doesnt make you broken having schizophrenia doesnt make you broken having a psychotic disorder doesnt make you broken having depersonalisation, derealisation, dissociation, etc. doesnt make you broken having dyslexia, dyscaluclia, dysgraphia, etc. doesnt make you broken having ptsd or c-ptsd doesnt make you broken having an eating disorder doesnt make you broken having a depressive disorder/depression doesnt make you broken having an anxiety or panic disorder doesnt make you broken having literally any mental disorder or neurodivergency that i havent mentioned here doesnt make you broken. and… thats that! you are not broken, you arent a burden, you arent ‘‘crazy’‘, you arent unlovable, and you arent a bad person. youre worthy of love, youre worthy of kindness, youre worthy of life and a community. this is incredibly corny but its true.
I’ve had lovers in many countries but the only love that has followed me is my own.

In life you will find two types of people. The ones… who build you up. And the ones… who tear you down. But in the end, you will thank them both.

LOUD MUMBLING.
If people were less entitled and annoying, maybe they would see that Ayato is not that bad. You see, he is able to be outgoing and kind. Yui has confirmed it multiple times that, out of his brothers, he is the most social!! You know, as in he acts in a total normal way for his age? Just turns out you have to be on his good side in order for that to happen. Otherwise, you’re on his blacklist.
Anakin knows what he’s doing is wrong...
Whenever I read people using the idea that “from Anakin’s point of view the Jedi are evil” as the ultimate proof that he felt bullied by them, I roll my eyes. Anakin is intelligent enough to know when he’s wrong.
He doesn’t really think the Jedi are evil, he’s lying to himself, he bought his own con.
Anakin was a good kid to begin with, and with the Jedi training he became a great man. If you look at things objectively, Anakin is 90% of a great Jedi. He’s seemingly learned all the rules, and is wise enough to teach them to others:
Be it by telling Ahsoka that she needs to follow the rules, she can’t just go around and do whatever she feels like, it’ll lead to trouble…
… by encouraging his Padawan not to be too hard on herself…
… or be it by encouraging rational thought over hotheadedness.
In that last image, Anakin is Anakin telling Ahsoka and Rex to stop letting their emotions do the thinking and act logically. He’s telling them to be prudent.
Hell, he even believes that patience is a virtue.
Anakin is a trained Jedi Knight. He has the theoretical know-how to get out of his problems, in ROTS.
In fact, a lot of people forget this, but Anakin’s first instinct, upon finding out Palpatine is, in fact, Darth Sidious, is this:
The Jedi are Anakin’s family. If Palpatine is asking Anakin to choose between the Chancellor and the Jedi, he’ll choose the Jedi every damn time (which is why Palpatine makes Anakin choose between the Jedi and Padmé, instead).
So where’s the problem?
That last 10% of what makes a great Jedi. Introspection, self-control.
Despite being wise, clever and thinking rationally - Anakin has trouble applying those lessons to himself.
When it comes to his own personal problems, he’s hard on himself, he’s impatient, he breaks the rules and acts out of emotion instead of thinking things through.
As Obi-Wan puts it:
As a result of this flaw, Anakin keeps choosing the wrong path, despite knowing that it’s the wrong path. The Force puts a lot of tests in front of him, and he keeps choosing the easy way out, rather than the more difficult but ultimately satisfying path.
His mother was killed. He can choose to genocide a whole Tusken village, or be the better man and just walk away. He kills the Tuskens.
Dooku is unarmed and helpless. Anakin can either kill him in a rage, out of revenge, or he can capture him, bring him to justice, and potentially discover the identity of the second Sith Lord. He kills Dooku.
Windu is also helpless (his hand was just cut off by Anakin) and Palpatine is killing him. Mace is helpless. Anakin can either choose to save Windu and arrest Palpatine (who just revealed that he wasn’t “too weak” after all), or he can let Windu die. He lets Windu die.
Padmé tells him that this isn’t what she wants. He can actually listen to her wishes. Or he can go on a maniacal rant about having ultimate power, ignoring her own opinions completely. He goes on a rant, drunk with power. Then chokes her.
Obi-Wan tells him to stop, tries to reason with him: Chancellor Palpatine is evil. Anakin knows this. He can stop lying to himself and accept his mistakes, ending the fight. Or he can give Obi-Wan his two-cent rationalization about the Jedi being evil (which he doesn’t even really believe in), and keep trying to kill Obi-Wan. He keeps trying to kill Obi-Wan.
The more the War goes on, the more it gets easy for Anakin to take the easy path, over and over. But he knows it’s the wrong thing to do.
George Lucas said this to Hayden Christensen, behind the scenes of ROTS:
“There’s always this good in you, at this point. The good part is saying, ‘What am I doing?’ And the bad part is saying, ‘I’m doing this for Padme. I’m doing this for us, and it’ll be better for the universe. It’ll be better for everybody.’ But there’s always this little part of you saying, ‘What am I doing?? That’s your rationalization for everything you’ve done.’”
Anakin tells himself that he’s doing this for Padmé, he’s doing this because the Jedi betrayed him, blabla. Truth is? He’s just really really scared.
There’s this incredible moment in Darth Vader: Lord of the Sith #5.
Vader has taken the lightsaber off a Jedi, and now he has to corrupt the saber’s crystal to get his red blade.
The crystal, and by extension, the Force, showed him a vision, a path where he turned to the Light, defeated the Emperor and put an end to his suffering. A path of redemption. This was his reaction:
Vader refuses to take the hard path and chooses the easy path instead, once again. He rejects the Light and hangs on to the pain… because deep down… below the “they betrayed me” bullshit he keeps telling himself… he knows he deserves it, because he did the wrong thing.
Anakin knows he’s wrong and he’s still goes forward with doing the wrong thing, no matter what test the Force keeps throwing his way.
And that’s why his sacrifice in Return of the Jedi is so impactful. He finally does the right thing, he accepts that it’ll be hard, that he’ll die if he saves Luke… he doesn’t care. Luke loves him, like Padmé did. He failed once. He won’t fail again.
I’m gonna conclude this with some words from George Lucas:
“It really has to do with learning. Children teach you compassion. They teach you to love unconditionally. Anakin can’t be redeemed for all the pain and suffering he’s caused. He doesn’t right the wrongs, but he stops the horror. The end of the Saga is simply Anakin saying: ‘I care about this person, regardless of what it means to me. I will throw away everything that I have, everything that I have grown to love - primarily the Emperor - and throw away my life, to save this person. And I’m doing this because he has faith in me, loves me despite all the horrible things I’ve done. I broke his mother’s heart, but he still cares about me, and I can’t let that die’.”
“I'm mean, I know that. I'm not perfect, I know that. I'm a disgrace, I know that. I make mistakes, I know that. But just because I'm all of that? Doesn't mean I'm incapable of feeling, aight? Cuz I am. I'm capable of feeling. So don't expect me to not hurt after what you've done — after what you did because I have emotions too. I'm still human.”
— Amelia Rose (Original Character) after being betrayed and berated by her so called friends.
Things that happened this decade Part 1
Cousin: Dammit! I'm not tall enough to ride the Viking! Curse my height...
Me: *looks up from book* oh, what a pity. I mean, it's not like there's things called heels that make you taller than you really are and all that but you know, such a pity. *goes back to book*
Cousin: *squeals* Thank you, cuz! That's a wonderful idea!
Me: *flicks the page to the next one* Whatever are you talking about?
Homeward ❤
Been away for far too long, about damn time.
The walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loved..
Ya know I really want to type out happy things. I want to write that I'm happy, my grades are up, my attendance is top notch, my professors are amazing, haven't been sick in a while, that I'm FANTASTIC!!
But that's the thing, I'm not. And I know that there's quite a lot of people out there right now, probably not reading this, feeling this way.
I'm scared. Simply put, I'm scared.
I'm so scared for what's to come that I'm not able to live my now and I dont even know what even IS coming..
My 2nd sem starts tomorrow, and I tried to open my book and I just blank. I dont know what I'm going to do in class. I'm scared to even drop my course, because if I do, what next? What new course can i do? I cant not have a college degree, right? Will I be okay if I dont have a college degree?
I've been tried so hard to catch up to something that I dont even know, I've forgotten whom I used to be..
But if you closed your eyes, does it almost feel nothing's changed at all ...
There are these small pockets, small moments when for a small while I forget about my impending doom and I feel calm. Just for a little bit.
Then the walls come tumbling down again...
Tell me how am I gonna be an optimistic about this ..
I true alpha man knows how to make his woman rise above everything 💗💗💗💗
True relationship is always being there for each other 💗💗
I want to be your best when you are not your best. I will not judge you for your sadness, I will not resent your for your flaws. When life gets rough, know that I will always be there to hold your hand, I will always be there to turn off the world for you. I don’t want you to think that you ever have to do this by yourself.
— Bianca Sparacino
So true when you have a soul love connection ❤️💞
Connection doesn’t always require physical touch. The meeting of your mind, heart and soul with another, can be profound enough alone, to connect you both on a deep and magical level. Making the distance between you far less, and closeness that much greater.
