Most adult children of toxic parents grow up feeling tremendous confusion about what love means and how it’s supposed to feel. Their parents did extremely unloving things to them in the name of love. They came to understand love as something chaotic, dramatic, confusing, and often painful—something they had to give up their own dreams and desires for. Obviously, that’s not what love is all about.

Loving behavior doesn’t grind you down, keep you off balance, or create feelings of self-hatred. Love doesn’t hurt, it feels good. Loving behavior nourishes your emotional well-being. When someone is being loving to you, you feel accepted, cared for, valued, and respected. Genuine love creates feelings of warmth, pleasure, safety, stability, and inner peace.

If you aren’t seeing someone who reads you fairytales when your sick, you’re doing something wrong.

Having the flu sucks because all I’ve done all day is sleep and reflect on all the ways I’ve screwed up lately. And that’s a long list.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who wears bikeshorts under dresses!

The How to Train Your Dragons sequel was better than I could have anticipated, definitely go see it if you haven’t already!

Does anyone know anything about the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS)?

I got invited to join them, and it sounds like there are some plausible benefits, but with a $95 membership fee and maybe some possible later commitments, I just was wondering if anyone had any insider advice.

This a petition to hold the SWAT team members involved in a drug raid where one of their members threw a flash-bang into the crib of a toddler legally accountable for their actions. The little boy had his face severely burned, and a hole was ripped into his side by the flash-bang, and all because they were looking for a person who wasn’t even in the home at the time of the raid. It will just take a second, yes you have to enter some information but this is really important, this is police brutality at its finest and an innocent child was severely injured. There is more info here as well

I would like to mention that even if a child had NOT been present, a flash grenade in this situation was still unnecessary force, based on what they claim they were looking for in the house. 

In fact, a non-knock warrant was unnecessary based on their reports that they were looking for someone with a small amount of drugs based on an anonymous tip. 

Therefore the judge who signed this warrant needs to answer why he allowed this warrant to be issued as well.

Huxley vs. Orwell

Bradbury also leaned more towards Huxley’s thinking in “Fahrenheit 451”.

Anybody know what this is from because all I’m getting are blogs when I search it.  And I would really like to know! ;o;
