My little revolution.

I believe this world needs more compassion. And why not start right here? With this next thought. With this next feeling. 

Can I just let it be exactly as it is?

you are the only person who has always been there for you. You are the only person who has woken up with you everyday of your life and gone to bed with you every night on the hardest nights in your life-everytime your were in your bed crying over something,you thought your world was ending you are the only person that has been there every second of everyday for your entire life. Your job -not because you're special but because it's your job -to look after YOURSELF.

Nothing I’ve read has changed me more than “you do people a favor by accepting their help” like I repeat this constantly to so many people because it’s true!!! People like to feel useful, they like to feel kind, they like to feel like they have an ability to impact people’s lives so just let them!! Not everything is a thing to be owed back — accept people’s kindness without making a competition out of it

I’m way hotter on Instagram and way funnier on Twitter, but on tumblr….. I am just me Melanie meladoodle

Really sick of giving my mom and sister my stuff and then them losing it

“Never shy away from opportunity and wholehearted living. Never be fearful of putting yourself out there. The courageous may encounter many disappointments, experience profound disillusionment, gather many wounds; but cherish your scars for they are the proud emblems of a truly phenomenal life. The fearful, cautious, cynical and self-repressed do not live at all. And that is simply no way to be in this world.”

When I was a kid, the "Oh my god, you got so big!" comment from grown-ups used to really annoy me, because it felt broadly infantilising. But now, as an adult myself, I realise it had very little to do with me, and almost everything to do with said grown-up feeling suddenly attacked by the passage of time, yet not wanting to blurt out "shit, fuck, I just pissed away like four years of my life without noticing, then, huh?" in front of an 8-year-old.

this is so embarrassing. i want to love & be loved & drink really nice tea & eat really nice pasta & not feel like the loneliness is a part of me anymore. i want a herb garden

why is my mom telling our neighbors all our business right now?

reads to escape this shitty reality

“I think one of the saddest things is when two people really get to know each other: their secrets, their fears, their favourite things, what they love, what they hate, literally everything, and then they go back to being strangers. It’s like you have to walk past them and pretend like you never knew them, never even talked to them before, when really, you know everything about them.”

Being on tumblr is like being a raccoon. I dig through the garbage for shiny things I like. Sometimes I find good things to share with my friends. Sometimes I find something horrifying, and also share it with my friends.

Btw id prefer you people treat me like the stranger that I am and not elevate me to pseudo-friend just because you overhear my e-conversations and see my e-diary entries. Mutuals however are allowed to attack and kill me in multiple different manners, if they can catch me

(sighing loudly because of my enormous desires)

the fact that I have to be in the “right headspace” to do even the simplest tasks. absolutely humiliating

love when women are like im sooo sleepy and its literally 5 pm. i love you

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Dylan O’Brien was scary good at capturing Jake’s voice and mannerisms holy shit like the charisma and the charm but also the eye rolls and that slight edge that leads to aggression… fucking hell

i really can't get over how mitski captured how fear of your own imperfections can lead you to see yourself as unworthy of the people you love, and how that fear grows and consumes you if you let it until your self destructive tendencies spill over into your relationships, and when it's all gone and you're all that's left you can only blame yourself. the only heartbreaker.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Sadie and Dylan for giving us everything they had in order to tell this story. All Too Well The Short Film is out on YouTube, and showing all week at the AMC 13 theater in NYC. For you, from us.
