Realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive. Because you are. And that pain you feel? That’s life. The confusion and fear? That’s there to remind you, that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for.
More quotes about heartbreak here (via thelovewhisperer)
Not about heartbreak for me, but overcoming trauma. I keep telling myself this, but it doesn't make it hurt any less or easier to move forward.
Not today fascists! Say my friends who went to protest detainment at DFW airport.
I must say. I've been feeling more invisible than usual. I, too, am a minority. I, too, have been harassed, assaulted, and sexually assaulted by cops. I, too, have been discriminated against. I wish there were a biracial, first gen, gay role model. Niche market, amirite? Oh, don't forget with mental health issues and an intellectual living in the shadow of a brother with MR. I'm half tempted to just grab my backpack and live in the forest somewhere. Or pull a Margaret Cho, and be my own relatable role model. But instead, I'm scared into shutting down and hiding in my hellscape of a mind.

shoutout to people who cant/wont turn in their abusers because
they dont have proof of abuse
abusers were upstanding members of society
their abuse was legal
no one believes them
their abusers are old, dead, disabled, ill, or on their deathbed
their abusers are family members
they cant remember details of abuse
they didnt uncover abuse until later in life
they were abused by organizations
they dont know the names of thier abusers
theyve been threatened into staying quiet
they arent mentally stable enough to endure the investigation
and whatever other reason. people dont have to turn in their abusers for their abuse to be legitimate. so many of us cant prove what happened to us and are only left with the disorders that came with the horror we dealt with growing up.
it makes me sad that im seeing so many trauma survivors feel that they have to justify not taking abusers to court. some of us cant, some of us shouldnt, and some of us wont. please respect all survivors regardless of how they approach legal justice over abuse.
So true. Thank you Buzzbrews.

I never cut class. I loved getting A’s, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I liked getting my work done. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.
