My abandoned blog

“I love my brother but I never want him or anyone like him to see characters like them. I love my brother but it’s way too much to ask for him and other Autistics to be humanized, to be able to interact with media in a positive way. Autism is terrible and if my brother wasn’t autistic he would be so much better off so why would I try to make it so that he, as an autistic person, could feel good about himself by seeing people like him in media? Also do your research about autism these very common autistic traits aren’t actually common autistic traits.” 

Welcome to the internet, where it's super easy to say whatever you want. In any case, you have to be either remarkably foolish or a troll to post this sort of thing on TUMBLR, an objectively liberal site. To fellow autistic people, yes, it hurts to hear this sort of thing, but in the case of this individual, they're probably too much of a coward to say this in a regular social situation. Almost definitely a troll, probably doesn't even have a brother. Not tagging so people don't have to see this sort of nonsense.

Reblog Fairy Godmother Ian for all your dreams to come true.

My dreams have already come true.

its kinda scary how your whole life depends on how well you do as a teenager 

oh my god No it doesn’t don’t put this kind of pressure on people?? you can absolutely fuck up in your teen years and continue on to a good life just fine. you can drop out of school, get a GED, still go to college and finish your degree as late as you want. i know people in my school who still haven’t graduated and they’re 26. some older. you can always transfer someplace else, always build yourself up from the ground. after a certain amount of college credits, a lot of schools really don’t care about your high school GED or your SAT scores anymore. if you fuck up in your teenage years you are not a failure!! you can ALWAYS re-invent yourself, always start over. there is always a second chance.

Reblogging this for my followers freaking out over art school/college. I dropped out of high school and never thought I’d get into college as easily as I did. You will be fine!

Reblogging for my followers. My high school teachers didn’t know what to do with me, and I failed everything but a low photography grade. I thought university wasn’t for me, and settled for marrying a mediocre man who spent all day on Warcraft. Then I went to community college. Now I’m in uni doing a double English and philosophy degree, just back from America. I am also single.

Also important: College is not the only option. Don’t let anyone try to tell you it is. If you’re not academically inclined, the trades are an option and they are a good option– if the only thing you think you’re good at is make-up do that. There are people who can live comfortably just doing make-up. We have this idea planted in our heads as teenagers (and younger) that not fitting into an academic mould of some sort means you’re failing at life and this is bullshit. There’s no reason to feel like you’re “failing at life” because you don’t like school or were never good at it. We need skilled workers in the world, and the thing they don’t tell you is all work is skilled work. If it’s work, it takes skill. Yes, this encompasses “service” jobs, it encompasses all jobs. Please don’t think that what you do, or what you have an interest in doing is of less value than something that requires a college education. This coming from the college-educated white girl who is a seamstress because it’s what I enjoy. If college isn’t going to get you where you want to go, than you don’t need to go! It’s that simple. Take whatever path you need to get to where you are happy and comfortable and fufilled. If you’re doing what you love you are sucessful.

i didn’t graduate with my bachelor’s until i was 26 and life took a few turns along the way but now, at 37, i have a job that makes me genuinely happy. and it’s got nothing to do with how well i did in high school.

This! This make me cry… I’m 23 and I really don’t know where I’m going, so reading this kinds of storys makes me feel hope!

I love all this support and inspiring stories, but what I think op was getting at was that our teachers/parents/elders ingrain this idea in us that if we fuck up in our teens, we fuck up everything. So don’t ever let adults make you feel less for needing/spending more time to achieve your goals. You’re still amazing if you get a degree at 24 or 44 or even not at all

I’m wayyyyyy too depressed to explain in detail why I needed to read this today.  There’s things I want and none of them have anything to do with a degree.  

It just dawned on me that Mrs. Hudson watched Mary’s video with Sherlock. She knew he was self harming for John to save him. And she had to watch John not do anything. So she threw Sherlock in the boot of her car to get John to see him and when he still didn’t do anything she ‘randomly’ calls attention to the stabbed correspondence on the mantel where she knew the video would be… So, thanks Hudders for corrupting ‘Mary’’s evil plan

She knows evil spouses when she sees them.😏

Due to recent promo pictures and leaks, it is now clear the the baby is fake.  Sorry, pops.
