Can we talk about cyber bullying for just a minute?
I have one question for anyone who has ever said anything nasty\cruel\rude\despicable to another person over the internet.
What did you gain?
What did you gain from calling that one girl fat?
Or telling that one boy he's a "F a g g o t" ?
Or telling that group of kids to go kill themselves?
What did you earn from that, besides some bad karma?
Did it make you feel good about yourself?
Did you feel like ruler of the world for a little while?
What happens when that feeling of power vanishes after that five seconds?
What do you do then? Go find someone else to put down?
It's an endless cycle, you'll never actually have power.
Being mean, you actually lose power.
But by being nice, and doing what's right, you'll gain respect and friends.
I was cyber bullied today, here on Witty, you can go look in my comments. You can go to the one girl's profile and see what I wrote to her cause chriswebbylover42069 deleted my comments cause she knows she's wrong.
If someone is cyber bullying you, tell someone, and if it doesn't stop, call the cops.
But most of all, never contemplate taking your life because some bïtch/douche told you to. Chances are, her life's even more pathetic than yours seems to be. IT WILL GET BETTER. And those rude and offensive people, might end up being the ones pumping your gas, cleaning your toilets, or bringing you coffee and donuts later in the future. And always embrace your flaws and own them.
"Oh my god your nose is huge!"
"I know, right?! It's like a beak! I'm gonna go crack open some nuts with it. Later!"
You're you for a reason,and to me, who you are right now is pretty damn spectacular.

Imagine if all you ever wanted was attainable. You walk into a store and a cluster of acne ridden teenagers stalk a aisle marked desires. Shelves upon shelves hold compact white cans, all with discreet labels reading off things like "beauty" and "self-acceptance". "Talent" is in high demand.
And then one day, whilst reading the newspaper, you notice a story about a girl - a mere seventeen years old - who had overdosed on beauty. Her name was Catherine. and she had died in her bedroom, surrounded by a city of confidence and charisma.
You read that only beauty was found in her bloodstream, and then you think about what a beautiful corpse she will be.
Imagine if everything you ever wanted was attainable, and then it ended up killing you.

You’re going to spend more time with yourself than with anyone else in your life. You want to spend that whole time fighting who you are?

Please leave format credit to 1986!
softly say
yes to your truth
yes to your many roses
yes to your scent that levitates
yes to your thorns
yes to the evolution of soft souls
softer to softest

Love yourself– accept yourself– forgive yourself– and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

“
I need to learn how to stop destroying myself, stop being hard on myself and be nice to myself. I need to keep telling myself that I need to keep wanting something, something nice, something warm…so I can make other people happy. I can understand other people’s pain because I can love even after all that is left of me is gone because I have that strength.

“
The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-aging moisturizer? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.

An over-thinker, a go-with-the-flow
type, a singer, an athlete, a writer, a believer, a follower, a runner, a single mother, a daughter without a father, a girl with anxiety, a man with a broken heart, an over-emotional type, a person who bottles everything inside. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what burdens you carry—you need to stop apologizing for who you are. This is a dizzying world. There are so many wonderful things and people, but so much imperfection. There will be moments that build you up and moments that break you, love that makes you falter and love that makes your heart sing. There will be people you learn from and people you lose, pain you experience, and euphoria that makes you forget everything else. But in all of this, you will grow. You will shift, you will change, you will try to find your path, and you will create yourself, again and again as you go. This is normal. This is life. Unfortunately, as this happens, you will come across opposition. You will meet people whose personalities won’t mesh well with yours, you will meet individuals who disagree, or even those who flat-out dislike you. And you will think you have to change for them. But you don’t. Ever. You will forever be changing, but not for another person. Not for the sake of making things easier, not because you feel forced, and not because of love. Your existence on this earth is impermanent and your time is too short to let others’ opinions change the way you feel about yourself. So don’t let them. Stop apologizing for who you are and just be. Be silly, be strange, be happy, be crazy, be independent, be in love, be unafraid, be nervous, be strong, be okay with leaning on someone else. Be whatever the hell you want. Be you. It’s okay to change, to become something else, to return to your roots or run as far as you can from them. It’s okay to make mistakes, to apologize, to forgive, to let go. It’s okay to be all the things you are and be them proudly. So please, do just that.

i see now that our flaws
and damages should not be ignored or desensitized but harnessed and embraced — that all of our quirks and qualities have a part to play in the greater scheme of our lives and should never be silenced or drowned out. I believe now that a thing can be abused whether it is good or bad for us or both. That moderation is key in all areas of our lives because it gives us the opportunity to be the clearest and most sincere version of ourselves. However you choose to numb yourself — whether it is alcohol, weed, or something else altogether — why don’t you take a couple of weeks off and allow yourself the chance to be vulnerably, unapologetically you, to open yourself back up to the things that frighten you and rediscover how vital they really are to the strength and depth of your soul and heart, to learn that all of your broken, bruised, and brittle bits have important value too?

There are enough negative forces in this world – don’t let the pessimistic voice that lives inside you get away with that stuff, too. That voice is NOT a good roommate.

to be simply yourself

I’ve hurt myself
the most;
I owe myself

I don’t think you’re happier if you’re thin or beautiful or rich or married. You have to make your own happiness. My heroines do not become beautiful elegant swans, they become confident ducks and get on with life.

don’t lose who you are
in the blur of the stars.
seeing is deceiving,
dreaming is believing,
it’s okay not to be okay.
sometimes it’s hard
to follow your heart –
tears don’t mean you’re losing,
everybody’s bruising,
there’s nothing wrong
with who you are.
