““If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.””

- Jane Espenson (from interview with Advocate.com)\

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said

I posted this three times tonight and had three people tell me that I helped save their life. Thank you to those people who have decided to struggle through to let us enjoy the gift of one more day of their prescence gracing us all. I hope that you all reblog this, to save another few. Because we all dserve another chance and hope in life. I went to the hospital 6 times before I decided to keep my life but I hope none of you suffer that much. And I hope you all can make that scary, seemingly painful, blind, hoping, wonderful step to live.

I want to help you in any way I can. ANYTHING. I mean it. If I had had someone stay with me and text me or talk to me all night, just one time, it would have changed my life. I know how hard those nights can be.

<3,

Love,

Emily

^I love this girl more than words can express.

foundmywaywheniwaslost: I am always here if anyone ever needs to talk/vent. You have a purpose, Please Stay Alive. <3

Not just for tonight but for the rest of your life. You have so much to look forward to in the future that if you choose to kill yourself, it will be the biggest mistake of your life. You’re going to miss out on people you’ll never be able to meet, kids you’ll never have, a partner to love or partys to go to. There’s just too much that you’ll miss out on. You deserve and have the right to be here as much as the person next to you does. You’re just a drop in the ocean. You were meant to be here and you have a purpose. Don’t ever forget that. And if you feel like you don’t, just believe in yourself because you do. If you ever feel worthless or like shit, know that I love you and those dicks that tell you shit are jealous that you’re who you are because there’s something about you that they wish they could have. Please stay strong and never give up because things DO GET BETTER.

3rd time I reblog this xx

Keep your self awake, I hope your here to stay. This day is not yet over, let me be your four leaf clover.

Reblogged it and queued it so it’ll post tomorrow too. And the next day and the next so I hope I can save someone. We all love you.

someone messaged me this morning saying it helped and thanked me, so im reblogging this again, and queuing it. stay strong guys.

jukeun:

sometimes people who are sad dont always need the “it gets better talk”

sometimes people just want to hear “you are sad, you are trying your best, and it’s okay. you’re okay and you’re alive and that’s a big accomplishment”

because i know for myself unconditional optimism gets really fucking annoying. sometimes i just want to be sad and have it be okay that im sad.

don’t make me feel weirder than i already do in my own skin.

Slot Canyons of the American Southwest

Few places on Earth have such beauty and mystique on an intimate scale as the delicately sculptured and colored slot canyons of the American Southwest. There are thousands of scenic canyons in this region but most are relatively wide; in contrast, slot canyons have vertical walls and may be hundreds of feet deep but only a few feet wide.

The general rock is sandstone, in various shades of red and orange; it is sunlight, shining down and reflecting along the canyon walls that gives the canyons their special beauty; the shadows and colors change constantly as the sun moves overhead.

Chris Farley in 1997.

Is it sad that my first thoughts were ‘good turnout, knees over toes, not bad considering.’ I have seen worse from people attempting to be 200% more serious than Mr.Farley.

I'm a very tall fat person who has always been sporadically athletic with very strong legs. I've been working on my toe point and strengthening/increasing flexibility in my feet, toes, and ankles. I want the full experience, the discipline, the art, the athletic grace. Assuming one has reasonable expectations, is it ever too late to begin ballet as an adult? Any warning signs for selecting a studio/instructor? Thank you for every post that you share.

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:48:09 -0400

So I’m late in replying to this. Like REALLY late. BUT! I REALLY want to answer you, since it’s something I think it important and something I’m really passionate about.

It is never too late to begin ballet. NEVER.

I wouldn’t go into it expecting to dance in the NYCB any time soon, but for yourself? Go for it. This is all for you, all about you, and something that is entirely yours to enjoy and develop.

As for warning signs:

if anyone so much as starts to give you attitude about being different somehow, body type, not a “typical ballerina look” walk out the door. You are there as an adult student, not to become a professional ballerina. In this economy, they need you more than you need them.
Look for a teacher that actually teaches class, instead of just giving it. Someone who gives good corrections, both general and individual. Ideally a teacher should give at least one or two corrections to each student throughout the class, as well as general corrections for everyone. But don’t panic if you don’t get corrections right away, a lot of the time teachers like to watch a new student for their first few classes to see where they’re at and what issues to begin focusing on for them.
Ideally, a teacher should care about the progress of ALL their students, from pre-ballet, to recreational kids, to pre pro dancers, to adult beginning dancers and beyond.
Don’t let the look of a place fool you. As an adult, I’ve danced everywhere from classes at big companies to a little hole in the wall place that MAYBE had a total of 30 students. Guess which one got me to the peak of my dancing ability? Size isn’t everything. Beautiful spacious studios aren’t everything. You want to make sure the floors are properly sprung to dance on, and that it’s a safe space (i.e. not overcrowded, enough room to dance in, or that they handle crowded classes properly and it’s not a free for all)
That said, IF you can find a school that’s associated with a company or is a pre-pro school that offers adult ballet classes AND does all of the above, you’ve found the perfect spot.
Don’t be afraid to go to more than one studio at once. A lot of places only offer a few classes per week or may not have a variety of classes for adults. Do what you need to do to meet your needs.
At the end of the day, this is for you. Don’t stay anywhere that doesn’t make you happy. When you find the place that feels like your dance home, you will know.
