i'm going crazy nothing is worse than being left alone in silence no words no answers just this unbearable uncertain silence

elizabeth swan and will turner are actually SO romance in the first movie and not enough people acknowledged this because the early 2000s were the age of the edgelords who only valued jack sparrow’s moral ambiguity and that is the TRUTH

The goal is not to surround yourself with people who never hurt you. The goal is to surround yourself with people who can have conversations about the hurt. People always hurt each other. It’s part and parcel of human relationships. To never be hurt by another is to lock your heart so far away, that no one can truly know you. But while the distance may protect you from hurt, it also keeps you from love and connection. Accept that people will hurt you. You will likely hurt them too. Most often, that hurt happens unknowingly. It is the conversations you have about the hurt that will determine the strength of your relationship. It is your willingness to be vulnerable, honest, receptive, and respectful to each other. It is your ability to lay down your armor, to bare your hearts to each other, and take the risk of hurt in exchange for the possibility of closer connection.

Once you are willing to have conversations about the hurt, you can discover whether the people around you are also willing to have conversations about the hurt. If they are, they are the people who will grow with you. In every conversation about the hurt, you will learn a lot about vulnerability and commitment together. There will be times when you both hurt each other. It’s inevitable. You can hurt each other and still love each other. Once you accept that, every conversation about the hurt will increase your connection to each other. Every conversation is a reminder that the relationship is worth the effort to overcome the hurt. Every conversation, no matter how big the hurt, will be an expression of your continued love for each other. Every conversation strengthens the foundation for a healthier relationship.

would ya just look at that light—

some photos i took from emerson college’s encampment for palestine. most of these were taken only a few hours before the boston PD attacked hundreds of protestors and brutally arrested 108 students, most of whom were poc, jewish, and/or queer.

anyone who spent any amount of time in the encampment will tell you just how much it brought us all together—there was always food, music, arts and crafts, and hundreds of messages of support written in chalk.

after the BPD was done brutalising us for peacefully protesting, they power washed down the walls of the encampment—all of these messages are gone. theyre trying to erase what happened, but they’ll never truly be able to. everyone saw, and everyone will remember.

Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend

i guess our wants and needs and expectations dont align so we dont work out as friends and i just need to accept that. no matter how much she meant to me and how much i wished it wouldnt be like this

Every year, on April 24th, from early in the morning until late into the night, Armenians make the pilgrimage to the Tsitsernakaberd memorial in Yerevan, honoring the victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide in Ottoman Turkey.

“A young Armenian girl puts roses near skulls of Armenian nationals, victims of the 1915 genocide, inside a church in Antelias, north of Beirut.”

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
