Stop Telling Your Teenage Daughters Who Say They Don't Want Kids That They'll Change Their Mind

CARRIE FISHER behind the scenes of the STAR WARS SEQUEL TRILOGY

But why do they keep playing the purge siren at the Super Bowl lmao

do you ever hear the intro theme to a video game and you get really emotional and your heart feels really weak like it’s coming back home and it’s basically like that whole world you love so much summed up into one epic song and you just want to fucking cry a lot because this is the video game for you and nothing else ever can even compare to the feeling you get when you hear that one fucking bit of music

a reminder for some of you <3 u should rb this even if u arent bi !!

it brings me to literal tears @ how pure mark hamill is. like dude was basically type cast from day one of his career but was he bitter? is he ungrateful?? NOPE! he’s literally the most humble, kindest dude. he responds in some way almost every single fan tweet he gets with anything from a like, a witty kind reply or a shoutout. fans want luke to be gay? he’s down! a fan comes out as trans because he’s inspired by luke? mark hamill tells them how proud he is of them. got a funny star wars meme? guarantee u mark has shared it at some point or if he hasn’t he’ll appreciate the heck out of it! he’s out here making bad wholesome dad jokes and enjoying himself, out here congratulating ppl for their work, out here using his platforms to call-out corrupt politicians, appreciate kindness, fans and draw attention to important issues without giving a shit about *image*, didn’t give a shit about disney’s gag orders and was honest about tlj and even though it was clear he wasn’t comfortable with the script, he graciously gave 100%. does voice work for everything from major cartoon franchises to small youtube works. he’s out here missing carrie more than we are and keeping her memory alive, he’s making random appreciation posts for his family and peers, aging gracefully and ignoring you if you’re a bigotted star wars fan. i fucking love and respect mark hamill with all my heart and soul and i aspire to be as kind, humble, selfless and honest as he is to the people in my life.

FACTS!

“You’re Not a Good Writer.”

I once received a DM comprised of just that sentence. Nothing else. No constructive criticism or any reason as to why this person clearly agreed with my own view of myself.

For someone who has never told anyone in their real life that they write anything, reading something like this from an anonymous user only solidified in my mind the fact that this person was right.

I’m not a good writer.

After an embarrassing amount of minutes passed, in which I thought about deleting every story I ever posted, I decided to delete the message instead. Unfortunately, that didn’t mean I could delete the feelings it caused or change the fact that I’m not a good writer.

Two weeks went by and I didn’t write anything, let alone post. Then I received a comment on a story I had posted three years prior, one I’d written after a death in our family. The comment read, “Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story. I really needed this. I just lost my mom and this really got me today.”

I stopped thinking about being a good writer after that. I thought instead, “what if I had deleted my stories and that one person three years later hadn’t read it that day?”

Here’s what I realized: no one is a good writer.

Good means to be approved of, but stories aren’t created from approval. They’re built from life experiences, feelings, and emotions Therefore, the impact of anyone’s story isn’t good or bad. It’s a million other things.

Heartfelt.

Sad.

Funny.

Inspiring.

Romantic.

So to all the story writers out there, hold your head up, write what is in your heart, and never doubt that there isn’t at least one person out there that needs to read your story.

So, no.

We’re not good writers, but why would we want to be?

My sister just called Silence of the Lambs, Silence of the Sheeps and I’m just - I’m so sorry

What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless

Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.

2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.

3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.

4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.

5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up. 

6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.

PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Thinking about the countless times art and music and cinema and literature have saved and comforted me during difficult times i really owe my happiness to everyone dedicated to their craft
