reblog this if you are gay, constantly tired, or a cryptic entity that merely inhabits a human form

tumblr is such a bizarre kind of social interaction. like. the rules are so different here. I once unfollowed someone because they said prime numbers were ugly and that was simply the last straw for me. imagine hanging out with a friend and getting up from the table and never talking to them again because they told you they hated prime numbers. that’s what I did.

my point is like.. NO kid asked to be born, they had no control over it, it isn’t something they had any power in, and the very LEAST you can do, if you bring a child into the world, is to let them feel loved and supported and make it clear that they have every right to be here and be loved and succeed.. it’s.. you’re obligated. sorry. there’s no excuse for treating a child like they’re a burden and verbally conveying that to them and/or giving off that message w/ yr actions and approach to interaction w/ them.. every child deserves far better than being made to feel like their existence is a burden or a mistake. bc it isn’t. 

Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before. You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too . These feelings can't break you. They're painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

i think you’re missing the point that parents would rather say “lol teens will be teens” than admit that they’re not doing a great job and that their kid is suffering from probably multiple mental health conditions that could be vastly helped with support and kindness instead of just brushing it under the carpet.
