Sticks & Stones...
I'm sure we've all heard the phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". Little kids learn it to counteract mean words said at playtime. It seems logical, physical harm should hurt more than words, but I think we all know from experience, that's just not true.
I didn't want to address this. I learned years ago in this fandom that if you address drama or anons it never ends well. However, I feel like this has to be said not necessarily for me, but maybe for younger me who wasn't as strong.
I received an anon that told me to kill myself because they didn't like a fic I wrote (I guess). I deleted the message because it's not worth my time. But those words are so hurtful. I thought back to younger me. Middle school me. High school me. Even early college me... I don't think that version of me would be strong enough to delete that message.
That version of me would hold onto it, perseverate on it, and those words would swirl in my mind and the anxiety and depression would tell me that's what people think. That's what you should do. I know logically that's stupid and it's an anon, delete and move on. But mentally, I wasn't strong enough...
I know that version of me is not alone. I know there are people in this fandom who struggle daily with their mental health. I know how hard it is for them. I can't imagine one of them getting a message like that.
Using language that promotes harm, like telling someone to "kill yourself," is harmful in so many ways. Whether you actually mean it and think that person should die, or you think it's just a phrase you say when you're angry, bored, or wanting to start drama, it's not okay. I'd love to say choose kindness and don't send any hate but I know that's not the world we live in.
However phrases like "kill yourself" are beyond the line. You cannot predict the mental state of the person you're sending it to. How would you actually feel if that person went through with it? What if their death is on your hands? Would you be okay with that? Would you be okay if the police came to your door and said you led to that person's death? (Don't think that happens? It does, the state police and FBI do investigate digital threats. I know because I work with kids who make and receive threats and have had to deal with the FBI investigating them... and anon doesn't matter the FBI will track the IP address). I don't want that for anyone here. So please, choose your words wisely.
If you are in a bad place and lashing out is all you have, come talk to me or someone else in this fandom. I know that it is hurt people that hurt other people. I know if you are sending words like that you've been hurt. Let's break the cycle together!
This post is not targeted toward any one person. Yes, it was motivated by the anon I got, but I really hope that anyone who has ever used that phrase might read this and take it to heart.
Please choose kindness or nothing at all. Our fandom is small enough. I don't want to see other people leave because they feel pushed out or leave because they did something they can't take back.
Oh, and to anyone who has received harmful words like that. You are not alone. You can come to me or others to talk. Please don't believe those words. You are stronger and better than that!
I'm not sure how to end this so, here is a cute picture:

Meet Miriam the daughter of Bilgah.
A woman who faced unspeakable horrors and found herself lost in despair. But even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light. 
Miriam, witnessing the brutal oppression of her people and the desecration of the Holy Temple, felt hopeless and angry. She made the unthinkable choice to abandon her faith and marry an enemy officer. Yet, deep down, her connection to her Jewish heritage remained strong. 
When she approached the defiled altar, something stirred within her. In a moment of bitter pain, she struck the altar and cried out, “Wolf! Wolf!” (comparing the altar to a wolf that devours the daily offering of two sheep). “You consume the Jewish people’s wealth, but you don’t answer them in their time of need!” 
Questioning why G-d seemed silent in the face of suffering. This seemingly minor act of defiance resonated deeply because it revealed her unbreakable bond with G-d and her people. 
The Rebbe analyzes this story of Miriam and gleans powerful lesson from it. Our connection to G-d is eternal, no matter how far we may stray. Our past choices and mistakes do not define us; they are but superficial layers covering our true essence. Each moment presents an opportunity for redemption and reconnection. 
We can gather strength from Miriam's journey. Remember that even when life seems overwhelming and we question G-’ds plan, our actions matter. The seemingly small deeds we perform can have a profound impact on ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us. 
Just as a single ingredient can make or break a dish, each one of us possesses unique gifts and talents that are vital to the tapestry of creation. Embrace your role, knowing that you are indispensable. The world depends on your contribution, and God eagerly awaits your positive actions. 
Let us support one another on this journey, for we all have a responsibility to uplift and strengthen those around us. Remember that your deeds carry immeasurable significance and are cherished by G-d. With every mitzvah we perform, we bring redemption closer, illuminating the path towards a brighter future. 
Together, let us strive to be the catalysts for positive change, spreading love, kindness, and hope in every moment. May our collective actions bring about the ultimate redemption, the revelation of peace and harmony for all.

Empowering Community Support: The Case for Contributing to Raymond Duggan's GoFundMe for Electric, Gas, and Rent
Introduction:
In today's world, many individuals face financial challenges that make it difficult to cover basic necessities such as electricity, gas, and rent. As Raymond Duggan, I find myself in a situation where I am struggling to meet these essential expenses due to moving to an area of high unemployment . In response, I have created a GoFundMe campaign to seek support from friends, family, and the community at large. This essay aims to outline the compelling reasons why individuals should consider contributing to my GoFundMe campaign, highlighting the significance of solidarity, compassion, and collective support in times of need.
Urgency of Basic Needs:
Electricity, gas, and shelter are fundamental components of a dignified and comfortable life. Access to electricity ensures lighting, heating, and the ability to power essential appliances, while gas provides cooking facilities and hot water. Rent is the cornerstone of stable housing, providing security and stability for individuals and families. However, for many individuals, meeting these basic needs can become a daily struggle, especially when faced with unexpected financial setbacks or emergencies.
As Raymond Duggan, I am experiencing firsthand the challenges of balancing limited financial resources with the need to maintain essential services and housing. Without electricity and gas, daily tasks become more difficult, and the risk of discomfort, inconvenience, and even health hazards increases. Moreover, the threat of eviction looms large when rent payments cannot be met, leading to instability and uncertainty for myself and my loved ones.
Impact of Community Support:
In times of crisis, the power of community support cannot be overstated. By coming together to support those in need, communities can provide a lifeline for individuals facing financial hardship, offering hope, solidarity, and practical assistance. Contributing to my GoFundMe campaign is an opportunity for members of the community to make a tangible difference in my life, alleviating financial stress and ensuring that I can meet my basic needs without fear or uncertainty.
Moreover, the act of giving fosters a sense of connection and empathy, strengthening the bonds of solidarity within the community. By demonstrating compassion and generosity towards those in need, individuals can create a culture of mutual support and caring, where everyone feels valued, supported, and included. Together, we can build a more compassionate and resilient community where no one is left behind or forgotten.
Importance of Dignity and Well-Being:
Financial insecurity can take a significant toll on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The stress of struggling to make ends meet can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, impacting overall quality of life and sense of self-worth. By contributing to my GoFundMe campaign, individuals can help alleviate the burden of financial stress, allowing me to focus on rebuilding my life and pursuing opportunities for growth and stability.
Furthermore, ensuring access to basic necessities such as electricity, gas, and housing is essential for upholding human dignity and rights. Every individual deserves to live in a safe, comfortable environment where their basic needs are met, free from the fear of homelessness or deprivation. By supporting my GoFundMe campaign, individuals can uphold these principles and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing financial hardship.
Paying It Forward:
Finally, contributing to my GoFundMe campaign provides an opportunity for individuals to pay forward the kindness, support, and generosity they have received from others in the past. Whether through personal relationships, community networks, or acts of random kindness, many of us have experienced moments of assistance and solidarity when we needed it most. By giving back to others in need, we perpetuate the cycle of generosity and compassion, creating a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond our immediate circle.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Raymond Duggan's GoFundMe campaign for electric, gas, and rent represents an opportunity for individuals to make a meaningful difference in the life of someone facing financial hardship. By contributing to the campaign, individuals can provide essential support, uphold principles of compassion and solidarity, and help restore dignity and well-being to those in need. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to overcome life's challenges and pursue a brighter future. Thank you for considering a donation to my GoFundMe campaign and for joining me in this journey of hope, resilience, and community support.

Pay it forward
Life is full of ups and downs, but no matter what challenges we may face, it's important to remember the good things that come our way. These good things may come in many forms, such as a kind gesture from a stranger, a job opportunity, a fulfilling relationship, or a moment of peace and reflection.
It's easy to take these good things for granted or to think of them as simple occurrences. However, taking the time to appreciate and recognize the good things that come our way can have a profound impact on our overall well-being and happiness.
In addition to recognizing the good things that come our way, it's also important to pay it forward. This means doing something kind or helpful for others, without expecting anything in return. Paying it forward not only helps others, but it also helps us feel good about ourselves and the positive impact we can have on the world.
Here are some ways to pay it forward:
Random acts of kindness: Small acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for someone, buying a coffee for a stranger, or leaving a positive note in a public space, can brighten someone's day and spread positivity.
Volunteer work: Volunteering for a cause that you care about is a great way to give back to your community and make a difference in the lives of others.
Donations: Making donations to a charity or nonprofit organization is another way to support important causes and make a positive impact.
Mentorship: Sharing your knowledge and experience with others can be a valuable way to help others grow and achieve their goals.
Paying it forward not only benefits others, but it can also have a positive impact on our own lives. By spreading kindness and positivity, we create a ripple effect that can inspire others to do the same. So, the next time you encounter a good thing in your life, take a moment to appreciate it and consider how you can pay it forward to others. You never know the impact that your actions may have on someone else's life.

Let’s support our mother 💕
It’s obviously heartbreaking to listen to certain songs thinking that they represent an endgame relationship and then hearing that it’s over. Or have a certain relationship be your standard for love and it then not lasting (trust me I know).
However that does not make it ok to spread hate to joe or his family, overanalyse either of them, or post things online that Taylor or joe could see that would hurt them (eg. sad edits).
Please let’s remember all the good things their relationship represented and be happy that it happened, especially with how much joe helped Taylor during bad times in her life.
we love you Taylor x

The statement "Making it is what matters" implies that the act of achieving a goal or reaching a desired outcome is more important than anything else, including the process or journey it takes to get there. There are several reasons why "making it" or achieving a goal can be important. For one, it can give a person a sense of accomplishment and pride, boosting their self-esteem and confidence. Achieving a goal can also lead to tangible rewards, such as a promotion or a financial bonus, which can improve a person's quality of life. Additionally, achieving a goal can often require dedication, hard work, and perseverance, all of which can build important life skills and character traits. The experience of setting a goal, working towards it, and ultimately achieving it can also be a valuable learning opportunity, helping a person to understand their strengths and weaknesses and to develop new strategies for success in the future. However, it's important to remember that the journey towards a goal can also be valuable, and that the process of growth and learning can be just as important as the outcome itself. Learning to enjoy the process of working towards a goal can make the experience more enjoyable and meaningful, even if the ultimate outcome is not achieved. #alwayshealing #mentalhealth #graphicposter #selfportrait #andywarhol #frankocean #feelingblue #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #graphicdesigndaily #typography #poetrycommunity #selflove #selfacceptance #spreadpositivity #spreadkindness #spreadthelove #loveyourself #selfgrowth #wisdom #selflove #griefgrowth #alwaysgrowing https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqmL0cLnfe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I walked into the studio this morning, and this was on my table it made me smile. Some days all it takes is a look to change how we feel, to get us motivated, to spark, that curiosity and interest we need to move forward with things, so yes, a bowl full of posies did that for me today. I always try to keep something on my table as a reminder that the things we surround ourselves with have the power to uplift us. People for sure! But small tokens, or trinkets, that we collect along the way, because they made us smile when we first laid eyes on them are the things I like to scatter around me. I hope you have something pretty sitting on your table to feast your eyes on today. I’d love to hear. Link in profile.

A kid had an old bike with no brakes and dented a stranger's car. A few days later the car owner surprised the boy with a new bike. Have you ever wondered how the world can be improved?
