Did you know,Ā you can quit your job, Ā you can leave university?Ā You arenāt legally required to have a degree,Ā itās a social pressure and expectation, not the law,Ā and no one is holding a gun to your head.Ā You can sell your house,Ā you can give up your apartment,Ā you can even sell your vehicle,Ā and your things that are mostly unnecessary.Ā You can see the world on a minimum wage salary,Ā despite the persisting myth, you do not need a high paying job.Ā You can leave your friendsĀ (if theyāre true friends theyāll forgive you, and youāll still be friends)Ā and make new ones on the road.Ā You can leave your family.Ā You can depart from your hometown,Ā your country, your culture, and everything you know.Ā You can sacrifice.Ā You can give up your $5.00 a cup morning coffee,Ā you can give up air conditioning,Ā frequent consumption of new products.Ā You can give up eating out at restaurantsĀ and prepare affordable meals at home,Ā and eat the leftovers too,Ā instead of throwing them away.Ā You can give up cable TV,Ā Internet even.Ā This list is endless.Ā You can sacrifice climbing up in the hierarchy of careers.Ā You can buck tradition and othersā expectations of you. Ā You can triumph over your fears,Ā by conquering your mind.Ā You can take risks.Ā And most of all,Ā you can travel.Ā You just donāt want it enough.Ā You want a degree or a well-paying job or to stay in your comfort zone more.Ā This is fine, if itās what your heart desires most,Ā but please donāt envy me and tell me you canāt travel.Ā Youāre not in a famine, in a desert, in a third world country,Ā with five malnourished children to feed.Ā You probably live in a first world country.Ā You have a roof over your head,Ā and food on your plate.Ā You probably own luxuries like a cellphone and a computer.Ā You can afford the $3.00 a night guest houses of India,Ā the $0.10 fresh baked breakfasts of Morocco,Ā because if you can afford to live in a first world country,Ā you can certainly afford to travel in third world countries,Ā you can probably even afford to travel in a first world country.Ā So please say to me,Ā āI want to travel, but other things are more important to me and Iām putting them firstā,Ā not,Ā āIām dying to travel, but I canātā,Ā because I have yet to have someone say they canāt,Ā who truly canāt.Ā You can, however, only live once, and for me,Ā the enrichment of the soul that comes from seeing the worldĀ is worth more than a degree that could bring me in a bigger paycheck,Ā or material wealth, or pleasing society.Ā Of course, you must choose for yourself, follow your heartās truest desires,Ā but know that you can travel,Ā youāre only making excuses for why you canāt.Ā And if it makes any difference,Ā I have never met anyone who has quit their job,Ā left school, given up their life at home, to see the world, and regretted it.Ā None.Ā Only people who have grown old and regretted never traveling,Ā who have regretted focusing too much on money and superficial success,Ā who have realized too late that there is so much more to living than this.

Write a letter apologizing to your body for any hatred and ingratitude you may have expressed: Dear body, Sometimes I feel so trapped inside my mind. At that moment, I just donāt know what to do. I know I shouldnāt take it out on you. You are the one always standing right beside me, you are always there for me. And the only thing Iāve ever did to you was hurting. I looked at you in the mirror, and the only thing I said was how ugly you were. But youāre not. I know youāre not. Scars, I made them. Some where just because I wasnāt paying attention. Cut myself by accident while shaving my legs, burned my finger when I took food out of the oven. These were accidents, and I know you can forgive me for those. But they werenāt all like these. Some scars I made on purpose. Because I was angry with myself, with others. Because I just didnāt know what else to do. As I said, I shouldnāt have taken it out on you. But I did. And I hope you can forgive me. I hope you can forgive for everything Iāve done to you. For all the times Iāve hurt you. And I know, saying sorry doesnāt fix everything, but I promise, Iāll do my best to make it up to you. Iāll learn to appreciate your beauty. Youāre strong, you protect me, and you have never let me down. Iāll stop hurting you. At least the hurting on purpose. It will never happen again, I promise. Itās time to start loving you, to start taking care of you. Iāll be my best self, for you. Because youāve always done it for me. Dear body, Thanks for staying with me. I know it can be hard.

Dear body, It have taken me 5 years to realise that I have never loved you, not at all. I had left demons walk into and rip you of everything you had. And I let them thinking it was the thing I was meant to do. Dear bodyā¦Iām so sorry that Iāve done this, I may never love you the way I should but I will no longer let the demons hurt you.

My dear body, The only place I have ever known I am sorry that my earliest memories of you include pinching the fat on my legs and staring in the mirror for hours critiquing every inch of you I wish I had used that time to actually treat you right I am sorry for the endless stress I have put you through (sorry for the sleep deprivation) and how from when I was 15 I never let you get what you needed to survive at a normal rate instead, I marveled at how good my harming of you made me feel I donāt blame you when you give me physiological signs to match my mental state Just know - I am loving you now and that wonāt stop anytime soon, Thank you for keeping my heart beating even when I did not want it to and for allowing me to experience life in all its complexities

āFirst, to my brain, I want to apologize for all the negative thoughts. Iām sorry for all the times Iāve thought about harming myself, for all the painful memories of him that make letting go that much harder, and I am especially sorry for the times I wished I could put a bullet through you. Next, to my stomach, I am sorry for all the times I starved you in order to lose weight. Also I am sorry for the alcohol I consume each night before bed. I know thatās why you hurt in the morning, and I am sorry that it sometimes causes me to puke up the food I fed to you. Now, to my skin, I am deeply sorry for all the times I have purposely burned or bruised you. I am so sorry for all the times I dragged a razorblade across you until I bled, and for all the scars it has left. I promise to let you heal. Some day I will cover you in beautiful tattoos and you will become artwork. And lastly, to my heart, I apologize for all the pain youāve endured. Iām sorry for all the stress and anxiety that causes you to beat rapidly. Iām sorry the hurtful things Mom and Dad have said along the years has damaged you. Iām sorry for those three years I convinced you you were in love with a physically and emotionally abusive man. Iām sorry for the most recent wound; I thought he was the one, but he left and broke you too. Yet, even shattered, you still hold so much love for him.

dear me, boy have you fought a hard fight this year. and for that i apologise. i never meant to make it tough for you. you were never fighting against the enemy - you were fighting yourself. i convinced you it was right and that there was something worth fighting for. i apologise for turning your mind against you. i gave you no hope of survival this year apart from the words that you ink onto paper before locking away. apart from the escape of being in someone elseās shoes on stage for an hour or two and even then the joy that once came with such activities disappeared. iām sorry i let you believe that you werenāt worth that love. you werenāt good enough for that crush you had, you werenāt special enough for familial love and you definitely werenāt normal enough for platonic affection. most of all you were never worth the love that flows from your heart in a never ending stream waiting for someone to push it back so you feel that heartbreak - letting it creep into every crevice, cementing the fact that you were unlovable. i was wrong. i was lost in the darkness that clouded my sight and turned my living days into the same nightmares i saw at night. that took away the joy and light of dreams and replaced them with a void of empty space as the violent thoughts corrupted my nights as well. i am sorry. i say it a lot to others, to the animals and even to the world we live in but i donāt say it to you. i have hurt you. more that anyone else possibly could have. i look back upon this year and i wonder when the hope lighting the way disappeared. the once ignited flame was lost in the shadows and there was no room for it in the self-pity i shrouded you with. dear me, the new year is almost upon and i want to be better for you, help me be better.

heres an unpopular dog opinion that a lot of animal lovers need to hear because im sick and tired of people misrepresenting these dogs:
Bullies are naturally reactive and have a higher chance of that becoming aggression. NO you should not leave them alone with your children. NO you should not let it play with your bunny. NO you should not put your face all up in its mouth because The Dodo facebook said its fine
That doesnt mean theyre bad dogs at all. i own a BBM and theyre great, just not in the hands of a āsee no evil of my baby to avoid the stigma so ill pretend its issues dont exist" furmom. These dogs are very powerful (how you choose to help them channel that- negatively or positively, can result in if it will manifest as aggression) They have a limit and if you refuse to acknowledge what theyre capable of because you just want to desperately see people hate them less (its understandable) then you could provoke it, and by extension making a bad name for the breed in believing some ideal fantasy that these dogs are fully harmless gentle lumps capable of no wrong. All dogs are capable of biting and being aggressive and some breeds are more likely to behave aggressively due to mishandling and misunderstandings THIS IS A FACT
For instance, huskies, border collies, hounds: high prey drive, instinctually want to chase and capture/kill etc. BBMS, pitbulls, kangals, GSDs, rottweilers, akitas, and cane corsos: known to be human aggressive (often because people breed aggressive lines and dont understand its high chance of heritability- how they percieve environments and stimuli and how theyre naturally inclined to react). how a dog is raised does play a part but to deny that certain breeds have a natural disposition to behave a certain way is foolish and ignorant. Theyre more likely to act out against people because they are guardian breeds, and thats what they do
Even hyperactivity when theyre in an excited state can sometimes result in bites (I have been bit HARD several times by both Sadie - BBM- and Samson - rottweiler when playing and they realized what they did immedietely afterward) both of these dogs have the most intense bite pressure of any other breed- a whopping 300 pounds. thats more than enough to break an arm off like a toothpick . If you cannot accept this or understand this is what theyre capable of in play and on accident, then you probably should reconsider owning one.
they need healthy and responsible outlets for their energy and high drive tendencies so they can live healthy happy lives
Learn about breed specifics, learn to read body language, educate people before somebody considers adopting a BBM and how they should truly be fully prepared for their new dog and to evaluate if theyre prepared for it bully quirks and all
thanks for coming to my ted talk

47 Meters Down⦠Another godsdamn movie painting sharks as monsters.Ā This is why people are afraid of sharks, movies like these paint sharks in a bad image.Ā
āBut what about sharks who bite humans?ā Sharks only bite a human because they bite out of curiosity or they mistake surfers for seals because of their surf board being under them and their legs and arms dangling over the side of the board.)Ā
Sharks arenāt monsters, theyāre just animalsĀ for Gods sake and no animal (except the goose) should be villainzed for what they are.Ā
So I advise you, instead of seeing this movie or watching Shark Week take the time to learn about sharks, theyāre so interesting and not scary at all. In the end tbh, theyāre just fish.
And plus, those whoāve just seen sharks as monsters havenāt seen cute sharks. Like these guys.
And @gentlesharks have way more cute shark pictures and educate on sharks too so check them out!

THIS ONE COULDNāT DECIDE BETWEEN ZEBRA STRIPES OR LEOPARD PRINT, BUT SHEāS F*ING PULLING IT OFF.

What makes octopuses so awesome?
Well, here are just a few things:
Okay, so thatās a lot of awesome right there. But what about this:
Plus, they have some pretty amazing defense mechanisms, from changing color to blend in with their surroundings (or let you know they are angry):
To squeezing themselves into impossibly tiny places. (Did we mention they have no skeleton?)
And a bonus fact: octopuses live in almost all of our national marine sanctuaries!
the idea of just adopting a shelter dog without thinking about breed is so harmful. Like, there are people who just walk into a shelter and say āthis one is cute Iāll take itā and then pat themselves on the fucking back because āadopt donāt shopā but then be 100% unprepared for that dogās breed specific needs. A Herding dog will be energetic. A Bull-breed will have a high chance of dog reactivity. A Sighthound will have a prey drive. A Nordic breed will be vocal. These are all things you need to think about BEFORE you look for a dog. Donāt go into an adoption blind, rescue or not you are doing yourself and that dog no favors.
i am super duper appreciative of ao3 and the shit they have to put up with for us assholes
but iād really like to request a function where you can say āok i want this pairing at this rating with this tag bUT I DONT WANNA SEE THIS VERY PARTICULAR TAG AND THIS VERY PARTICULAR TAG MIGHT BE DESTIELā
This function exists! The links below all describe the same basic task (removing a tag from your search results), based on different goals or comfort levels with AO3. If you know AO3 really well, try the first 3 sets of links. If not so well, try the last 3. (Dizmoās has pictures so is possibly easiest.)
Good luck, and drop me an ask if you get stuck!
The Search Within Results Field and You, Part 1 The Search Within Results Field and You, Part 2 The Search Within Results Field and You, Round Up
Janās 7-Step Tutorial on how to filter out Characters and/or Relationships on AO3

Toastyās shipping helper
Convenient round-up!
(Note that the first link contains some other nifty things you can do with the filters, like showing only one-shots, or works above a certain word count, or only your private bookmarks. \o/)
I super recommend that once you find the perfect search string for you, you bookmark that search page. Then in the future you can go to that bookmark and re-run the search again, and see the new fics that have showed up without the stuff you donāt want.
