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.
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
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.

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
imagine your younger self, running up to you and giving you a hug
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.
