Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.

You know what’s sexy? Men who actually care for you

Due to personal reasons, I’ll be growing as a person and learning to love myself.

GOOD THINGS ARE IN THE WORKS! GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING!

i think we should all take notes from cats and just lie in a warm patch of sunlight for a little while

life gets so much better when u accept urself for the weird little bitch that u are

remember when you were fifteen and you were convinced you were evil and irredeemable and completely insane but it turns out you were just fifteen

me when i was fifteen: oh i am just a deeply evil and destructive being and someday i will be punished for my crimes. also the only song that matters is sail by awolnation. *sits quietly in bed and does not do my homework.*

Sometimes good parents make mistakes.

There might come a day when you look at your parent who loves you, tries their best, never abused you, and realize that they don’t always know best. And it’s a weird thing to come to terms with. To know you were loved but there were still bad things that they did accidentally. But even if it’s small you’re allowed to struggle with it. You don’t need to have been through the worst kind of abuse to question your parents.

This isn’t a post about abusive and/or manipulative parents. It’s about things like your mom leaving you with an irrational fear of germs or your dad trying to get you on a diet when you’re a kid because he believes the studies about weight affecting health. Not intentional harm and not abuse. Just garden variety mistakes.

No one is perfect, including good parents. They’re human, they’re going to make mistakes, even the best of them.

It’s very likely that at some point in the future, another child will grow up in your childhood home, and will end up having many of the same sorts of memories in the same place that you had them.
