This Is A Sad Truth For Men. My Stepmother Was Very Abusive Towards My Father, And While He Did Fight

I have been waiting

I love this so much please reblog. This makes me think about when my younger brother would tease me about it, and he still doesn't realize that any girlfriend he has will go through the same thing.

Teach boys about periods

My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.

When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).

I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.

My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.

My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.

When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.

Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.

1,000 FOLLOWERS?!?

YALL IM SCREAMIN IDEK WHAT TO SAY!!! like fuck for real when I started out at the beginning of this year, I never even thought I’d have enough followers to start doing requests. I’ve worked really hard on making this blog something wicked and it means so much to me that my efforts haven’t gone to waste.  Even if we’ve never spoken, every single one of you has helped me push forward and continue to better myself as a writer and a person and I’ve made so many friends that I seriously can’t thank you all enough!! So, as a thank you for all 1,000 of you joining the party, I decided to do a giveaway!!

Three of my followers will be selected randomly and the prizes will be as follows:

1st Place Winner: 2,000+ Word Scenario + A Match Up + 3 Edits (Phone Wallpaper, Icon, and a Header)

2nd Place Winner: A Match Up + Matching Icons & Phone Wallpaper

3rd Place Winner: Winner’s choice of a Match Up OR an Icon & Phone Wallpaper

If you want an idea for what you might be getting, here is an example of a scenario, here are examples for a header/icon/wallpaper, and here is an example of a match up!

RULES

You must be following me to enter! 

To enter, just reblog or like this post! One reblog = one entry and one like = one entry! (Only one reblog/like per person please, reblogging/liking it multiple times won’t get you more entries!) 

If you win the scenario: Please be able to tell me the gender pronouns used, what character you want it to be with, and a prompt (basically just like a request you’d put in for headcanons)! An example would be:

“For the scenario, I would like Kirishima with a Fem! Reader going on a zoo date with her.”

If you win a match up, here would be an example of the information you could send in:

I’m a 5′1″ female with a caramel/mocha skin tone and dyed red curly hair! I’d say I have a curvy figure, however I wouldn’t say I’m overweight or thin. I have a ENFP personality type and I like to think I’m pretty funny and outgoing. My hobbies include baking, which is also my major, reading comics, doing anything crafty, hanging out outside when the weather is nice, watching movies, and I’m also a huuge dog person. I get distracted very easily, I suck at remembering things, and ‘Dork’ is practically my middle name by now. While I do get antsy if I stay home for too long, I also enjoy spending time just chilling by myself and I looove to nap. I’m also a bit of a hopeless romantic, but I’d never really show it unless I was in a relationship.

If you win an edit:

Please tell me what character you would like featured and what colors/theme you would like! (ex: blue and pink with polka dots, red and black with no pattern, etc.)

For the matchups and scenarios, the same rules apply in regards to what I won’t write for so if you need to, please check them out again before sending your information here!

This event will be going on for ONE WEEK from  to , so be sure to reblog/like this by then! Once the event is over, I will make a post and I will tag all of the winners so you can personally message me the information needed to get your reward made! If I don’t get responses within 3 days of that time, I will personally message you, and if I don’t get a response a day after that, another winner will be chosen!

Thank you so much again guys and I hope you have fun with this!

A proud Asexual as of 2019. And I would have a fancy black cape if I weren’t about to go to college and be really broke.

Reblog if you are ASEXUAL, SUPPORT ASEXUALS, or really really want to WEAR A REALLY FANCY BLACK CAPE

I used this when I really needed it and it helped..... And I hope it helps others to.

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Well.....if I must.

Happy late birthday Brian Quinn!!! I've been on a cruise for a while and had no internet but I'm here now!!! 🎇🎊🎉✨🎂🎂🍰

Happy 42nd birthday to one of my favorite people! These are some of my favorite pictures of him, but it was hard to choose. I swear, this man gets better looking with age. 

Any woman who truly thinks that women don't do this, and that it is the man that is at fault, or try to make it seem that way.

Then I truly believe, that your stupidity is unbelievable.

shocking

I hope things get better soon.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:
