there’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when i say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace
i originally drew this comic to express my feelings in art rather than words and it got tens of thousands more notes than i expected it makes me sad that so many people can relate to this please don’t hesitate to reach out to people if you’re having problems; people care for you and love you and want you safe and happy, i promise.
it’s beacuse many of us are raised to hide our emotions because life sucks and we have to get through to it. We have trust issues because parental figures neglect our mental health and if we can’t trust them, who can we trust? We are taught to internalize our problems because whatever is going on with us isn’t as important as what’s going on in the world because people have it worse.
Okay! My friend accused me of being a mother duck (and that I spend way too much time at the school theater) Like an idiot I told her to prove it. She had me empty my bag and i was made to promise to show tumblr.
We got school books and such. This is normal. Cool.
Headphones, phone charger, and portable phone charger. You know what? I am electronically prepared.
Emergency stuff. This is normal. These are normal things…
Well… I have an excessive amount of fidget/stim toys. Things to do… I use them when I need them and give them to any friends that are anxious or bothering me.
Sometimes people have food. I have food. Granted I’m usually feeding others my food. That is not helping my point, but food is normal for a backpack! Sorta…
OKAY. I’M NOT HAVING ANY OF MY FRIENDS GET PREGNANT OR GET SOMEONE PREGNANT OR NOT PRACTICE SAFE SEX. I’M IN HIGHSCHOOL. THIS HAPPENS.
And then… Okay, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, band-aids, antibiotic ointment, chapstick, Excedrin, pads.(My First said kit is MIA) I am a male and I only carry the pads for my female friends who may need them… and most of the other stuff for others….
Am I really a mother duck?
Yes. Yes, I am.

whatever happened to body glitter? what ever happened to body glitter? why are we so afraid to shine
A book came out that bastardized vampires and promoted abusive relationships that involved body glitter so now it’s associated with fake vampires and emotional abuse.

I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
