I am going to try my hardest, and if I fail I will just try harder next time.
The key is to not be afraid.
Shit, we're retarded.
Because well behaved women rarely make history.

May the merciful gods, if indeed there be such, guard those hours when no power of the will, or drug that the cunning of man devises, can keep me from the chasm of sleep. Death is merciful, for there is no return therefrom, but with him who has come back out of the nethermost chambers of night, haggard and knowing, peace rests nevermore.

that’s lame and immature of them :/ the facebook group thing. but if they can’t see that you’re slightly better now and at least more yourself and that before it wasn’t really you, then i guess they aren’t your friends and i know it sucks but welp.
Yeah I know. :( sucks ass when people who thought you could always rely on end up leaving you out ~in the cold~ but I guess that’s life

yeah mine is nothing compared to yours. :C but i don’t think it’s right that all those people feel the need to intrude on your drama. they have no business being there. this seems to just be between you and linc and that’s all. >[
Yeah at first it really was, but I was relying on them, and he wasn’t talking to me at all and even if he was he wasn’t talking about anything to do with the problem so I was getting frustrated because I’ve always been the type to talk things out to solve problems
then the break up happened, causing more drama because I have stupid abandonment issues
then the whole mental breakdown happened around my friends and one of them took it upon themselves to tell everyone else not to talk to me because I guess that’s what they thought was best??
and then they went to form their own fb/whatsapp/whatever group and leave me out of things which I can see why they would but fuck man it still hurts. :(

Dear everyone ever
In 2008 Michael Phelps took home EIGHT gold medals. We celebrated him as an American hero.
This week, a pretty seventeen year old American swimmer took home a gold for USA. It’s Olympic history! Somebody get that girl some theme music and a reality T.V show!
Also this week, a female sixteen year old swimmer from China won the gold and swam faster times than the men. WHAT! THIS IS AN OLYMPIC MIRACLE! AMAZ-
Sorry, what’s that? You’re suspicious of her? She gets no congratulations, no inspiring montage of her family watching at home, nothing? Nothing. Her win is taboo. What should be an inspiring story of a young girl making history at the Olympic Games is ruined by press and public scrutinizing her body, and the ethics of her home country.
So why, exactly, should we have reason to suspect foul play? The obvious answer is because men are stronger than women, and no woman should be able to compete on the same physical level as a dude in peak shape, right? Alright, here’s the deal. This is the Olympics. It’s true that generally, male athletes have more sheer physical strength than female athletes, but it isn’t so unreasonable to think that one woman on the planet could have the ability to outswim the boys. And if she existed, she’d probably be really famous and like, go to the Olympics, right?
Amazing shit happens at these games all the time. Gymnasts break their ankles sticking landings and still take home medals. Michael Phelps is human (probably) and took home eight golds in one game. There’s a whole list up of world records that have been broken in the 2012 games already. This quote, by entitled swimming coach dude John Leonard, is a great example of bigotry against women in sports:
“To swim three other splits at the rate that she did, which was quite ordinary for elite competition, and then unleash a historic anomaly, it is just not right. I have heard commentators saying ‘well she is 16, and at that age amazing things happen’. Well yes, but not that amazing, I am sorry.”
My favorite phrase here is “historic anomaly” as opposed to “historic achievement” which is what it was. He also makes a comment on how whenever people come out looking like “superwoman” they’ve been discovered to be doped up. I guess men probably don’t look like superwomen when they make Olympic history, huh?*
So on behalf of America, I’d like to make an apology to Ye Shiwen. You’re an extraordinary swimmer. You’re disadvantaged because you’re young, because you’re Chinese, and of course, because you’re a woman, but you swim like a BAMF and you deserve to be celebrated. Keep on keepin’ on, girl. Don’t let the haters get you down.

wow one month and it’s still going? jfc but i get you. it was the same with me. i let it go on too long too and then by the time i thought i was done with it turns out they weren’t and then it got ugly and then it stopped??? this is not helping.
It’s been one hell of a month that started out with this one stupid fucking fight me and linc had when I was tired and cranky and extra hormonal cause I just started the pill then from then on it has just been a hell hole of drama
and more people got involved than they should have
seriously I just want it all to just fucking end and go back to normal
and no it’s okay, it’s nice to know someone else knows what it’s like to go through drama :/
