Confessions of the Headmates

Sometimes I’m like “ancient greek plays are so old, how am i going to relate to the characters?” but then 

andfuckyouallverymuch:

Nobody would deny that people who stand by you, stay with you, and even help you through bad times are important.
Some would even call them, oh idk, gifts? Blessings?
After all, is it not a blessing to have someone who will be there for you during your worst times?
Is someone who will be there for you no matter what not a gift?

I think they are.

THAT’S WHAT ALTERS ARE.

Claiming otherwise, and by extension claiming that alters aren’t people is as offensive as it is ignorant.

How DARE you tell people who have suffered so much abuse and trauma, that the way they coped, the reason they survived is anything less than a miracle.
No, DID is not all sunshine and rainbows, but NOTHING IS, and it doesn’t have to be in order to be fundamentally a good thing. And it IS fundamentally a good thing purely by virtue of being the one thing that got us through extreme trauma.

So FUCK YOU if you want to tell me that the people who saved me are anything less GIFTS.

Did you know? Type O Blood was actually meant to be Type Zero blood, due to the lack of glycoproteins in the red blood cells. It was misread and is now called Type “O” blood. I guess you could call it a typo.

I’m going to throw a cake at your head

reasons why my grandpa is the best:

• he made my wife and i (i’m a woman) a giant banner for our one year anniversary 
  
• when i was pregnant, the baby was kicking and when he touched my belly, the baby stopped and he called him a little shit
• he once called and left a voicemail asking how to spell styrofoam
• he flipped a table bc he saw someone hit a dog
• he beat skrim in 4 days
  
• he served in the korean war and when he came home, he learned korean so if he ever ran into a korean vet, he could “give them the same respect he’d give an american vet”
• my son has two moms and there was a “special guy in your life” day at his school for father’s day so my grandpa went and showed up in dress pants and a pressed shirt bc he “didn’t want to embarrass him”. also, there was a little boy who didn’t have anyone there and grandpa asked if he could be his “special guy” and the little boy beamed
• he knows all of the secrets to the zelda games
• he’s had 4 open heart surgeries and can still kick your ass

Remember: Feelings first, labels later.

And if you decide to not label yourself or your label changes? That’s okay, too. Just keep feeling.
