“I am honored to mark my 18th birthday with the brave and inspiring girls of Syria. I am here on behalf of the 28 million children who are kept from the classroom because of armed conflict. Their courage and dedication to continue their schooling in difficult conditions inspires people around the world and it is our duty to stand by them,” Malala said. “On this day, I have a message for the leaders of this country, this region and the world — you are failing the Syrian people, especially Syria’s children. This is a heartbreaking tragedy — the world’s worst refugee crisis in decades.”
I’m graduating in Digital Design this year in June (hopefully) and for my final project I want to make a tool for people who suffer from mental disorders that cause anxiety and panic attacks.
As someone who suffers from anxiety attacks myself, I’ve noticed that even though you might be surrounded by hundreds of people, you’re still all by yourself when attacks like these suddenly happen. People around you often don’t know what the signs of an attack look like or what to do, that’s not something you learn in school apparently, because somehow, mental health issues are still seen as some sort of taboo in our society.
I want to design a website with a supporting app where you can create your own little library of things that calm your mind, whether this is a repetitive gif, a relaxing sound, a certain song or a breathing exercise. This library of calming things will be your personal space to go to when panic, anxiety or negative feelings flood your mind.
My question to you: If you suffer from anxiety, panic attacks or other mental health issues and you feel like you could use a tool like this, or you know someone who does, contact me! I really want to talk to you about what helps you to calm down and share some feedback and stuff! If you’re more comfortable talking on anon, no problem for me! I really appreciate all the help :)
I want this graduating project to be something everyone in this situation could use, not only based on my feelings and what helps for me.
Reblog for good karma (and for breaking the taboo that exists around mental health issues)
It’s that time of the year again! Good luck to everyone taking their Final exams! I hope these help you get through it. Feel free to print them out, put them on your bedroom wall or whatever helps you to get motivated
AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.
i’d never die
but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day
imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together
imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal
holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever
What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.
This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate
okay but you guys dont realize the potential.
imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.
Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.
Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.
imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.
imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time.
imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.
imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”
imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.
imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation
imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.
what that headline failed to mention is that it links to a kickstarter! it ends on may 13th, and it’s not yet halfway to the goal of $10,000. so more people need to be seeing this.
Remember Tara the Cat, who last
year saved her owner’s son from a vicious dog attack? Well, the SPCA of
Los Angeles just awarded her its annual “Hero Dog” medal.
Her unprecedented heroism had to be recognized. They scratched out “dog” and wrote “cat.”
best earthbender in the world: toph uses earthbending to counter powerful magic used by a spirit from another dimension
I firmly believe this is the GREATEST and most extensive display of Earthbending we have ever witnessed.
Depending how you see this scene, Toph is either resisting the interdimensional pull of a vortex Wan Shi Tong opened to transport this MASSIVE building or she is SINGLE-HANDEDLY holding the entire thing up from one of its SMALLEST TURRETS
Can you even fathom?
Literally no greater amount of Earth has ever been manipulated so solidly by an Earthbender on screen. Toph is holding the ENTIRE EDIFICE SECURELY IN PLACE WHILE ONLY TOUCHING THE TINIEST TIP OF IT. WHAT A POWERHOUSE!!!!
and that was with her not knowing how to properly ground herself in sand
Comparing your relationship to Romeo and Juliet to express how in love you are is kind of like using Hamlet to demonstrate how close and well-adjusted your family life is
