im an atheist because i think that science is wonderful and reality itself is so mysterious and wonderful that there is no need to believe in a god
but if a philosophy and a belief system makes you appreciate life and makes you happy and you arent hurting anyone with it
then god damn no one should be a shit to you about it

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”— Marc Hack (via kittenjamie)

“Sometimes the most adult thing you can do is ask for help when you need it.”
— Rupert Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: 6x22 - Grave (via janersm)
“But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work. We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.”—

My dad just explained this to me a month ago. True as fuck.

“The messages you received from your family or your childhood experiences may have caused you to believe that assertiveness is unacceptable or even dangerous. Practice saying the following: I have the right to be treated with respect by others. I have the right to express my feelings and opinions. I have the right to say no without feeling guilty. I have the right to ask for what I want. I have the right to make my own mistakes. I have the right to pursue happiness.”— Nice Girl Syndrome by Beverly Engel (via speakoutbeheard)
i hate that when i feel really low i don’t want to feel nurtured by the world, i want everything to be hard and punishing - and i don’t think it’s because i want to punish myself, it’s more like if i can’t be happy then nothing else gets to be good. and i want to feel something so i end up relishing my own bitterness because it’s the only thing i have to hold on to. so actually it’s just another form of narcissism and needing the world to revolve around me. good now someone bring me the blackest coffee available (it will be served when i want it served and i want it served now)
