mrrepzion: The girl wrote this on Facebook: ”I went to the beach the other day, for the first time since I was a child, I didn’t wear shorts or anything to cover up, this is a massive deal for me, I hate my body even without the scars, I believe I am fat and disgusting but, I pushed through the major anxiety, shaking and almost crying and made it to the water. Its a big deal, I did it. This took a whole fucking lot of courage to post..” And now this dickhead comments this. I can’t, i really can’t Facebook.  See this is what is wrong with humanity. This girl is mentally injured, But she takes a step towards better times. She tries to get back. She even go to the beach, only wearing a minimalistic piece of clothe. She convinces her biggest fear, the fear of people laughing at her. And she’s even more brave. Afterwords she posts this remarkable photo on Facebook. It maybe took her minutes to post this. Sitting there by her computer, with her finger on the mouse. Should she press ”Upload” or not?”  And she did it. She was brave enough to do it.  And then this is what she gets. A hate comment. And there was of course more comments than that. And if that isn’t enough, that comment up there, got 5 likes. 5 LIKES. People agree with that terrible person? My faith in humanity is almost gone now. I want to show this girl, that i’m with her. I’m a supporter.  #peace I saw this photo on facebook a few hours ago, I was outraged at the responses. Many of which were telling she was a fat piece of whale meat to cuts her “blubbler” — it makes me hate humanity that people can react so cruel to someone who has been hurt mentally and physically.

After a few months of waiting, our newest family member, Kutka the Mexican redknee tarantula, is finally here, and has been living with us for a week now. Poor baby is very timid, everything around it is so much bigger than it, so scary!

Don’t worry Kutka, one day you will be a big, colourful and beautiful tarantula, I’ll make sure you will be. ♪

Edit: I just noticed I wrote 22th instead of 22nd. Derp.

[Warning: a sappy post ahead] ♫ Happy birthday to me~ ♫ It’s the 20th anniversary of my existence. The teenage years are now officially over for me and I couldn’t be more happy: they were my toughest times so far, filled with depression, insecurity about life and a lot of things to regret and with my unhappy childhood memories haunting behind me. However, thanks to all the wonderful people I met during that time and with their, my mother’s and brother’s support I’ve had a chance to study myself better, to become more open and happy, to calm down and most importantly to forgive myself; to move on. Even though there’s still a lot of work to do – matriculation examinations, applying for a new school after graduating, getting a profession, and all other things future holds ahead – my load of worries feels much lighter now than, say, few years ago.

♫ Happy birthday to me~ ♫

It’s the 20th anniversary of my existence. The teenage years are now officially over for me and I couldn’t be more happy: they were my toughest times so far, filled with depression, insecurity about life and a lot of things to regret and with my unhappy childhood memories haunting behind me.

However, thanks to all the wonderful people I met during that time and with their, my mother’s and brother’s support I’ve had a chance to study myself better, to become more open and happy, to calm down and most importantly to forgive myself; to move on.

Even though there’s still a lot of work to do – matriculation examinations, applying for a new school after graduating, getting a profession, and all other things future holds ahead – my load of worries feels much lighter now than, say, few years ago.
