Been a while, huh? I don't come onto this account anymore, but occasionally I come on to read comments. I said it before, but thank you for all of your stories. All but one of the comments have been inspiring stories and constructive opinions. Again, I don't come here often, but this is a topic I am always open to talking about, as long as we're both willing to listen to each other
I'm a teacher now, and trust me - I see a lot and am apart of many people's lives. I know many stories, I know many situations, I know it isn't black and white. Oh good Lord, do I know there are grey areas. My jobs requires me to separate myself from my opinions. When I walk into the classroom my opinions don't matter - what matters is that my students are safe and that I will do anything for them. It's a surreal feeling - being so protective of so many, even though I may severely disagree with their decisions or stances.

A lot has changed, but I'll always keep my original description up. I feel like that no matter how much I change and grow that it's important to remember where I've been, no matter how dark (and hypercritical) it was. This stamp means a bunch of things to different people, so please don't see it as one opinion. Read the comments; send me a note on my main account; inspire real-life conversations. But don't assume. That's what I did a lot of when I was younger. At the same time though not everything has changed. There will always be truth in what I wrote years ago, but people aren't stagnant. We grow and evolve, and I hope these comments do that for you in some way~

11/9/2012: I'd like to note that I plan on changing/adding to this description. Talking to the people who have left comments has given me, and others, insight, and I want to express my feelings behind this stamp better. When this was originally written, I myself was in a terrible part of my life (and in many ways, I still am). I am and always will be open to talking about the nature of this stamp, and I thank everyone for being mature about our conversations thus far Thank you all for the support and sharing your stories with regards to this stamp - it's been a real experience, and I always hope for the best who are still seeking for answers

i could say so much about this stamp, but i'll keep it to a minimum just cuz i don't to be here all night...
first off, this was inspired by In-The-Machine 's stamp, as seen here: in-the-machine.deviantart.com/…

now, my thoughts and what this stamp means:

in plain, simple words i am sick and tired of people acting like they don't have anyone in the world who cares for them and thinking that there is no way out. that alcohol, drugs, cutting, and isolation are the only ways to feel better. that they know what they need to become "better" and don't need anyone to help. its total bullshit.
i myself have a father who i think needs psychological help with getting over whatever problems he had in the past with his family. does he ever listen to me when i try to talk to him about it or try stay calm when i ever have serious conversations about him with him? no, he doesn't. hence i'm tired of trying to help him because he doesn't want it. you can't help people who don't want to change, which is why i am so sick of listening to stupid little attention whore bitch about how horrible their lives are and how no one loves them. if they seriously gave a shit, they'd get help. true, some people have absolutely no one to turn to, but i'm talking about those people who think that no counselor can help them; that their parent's hate them; that none of their friends "know what they're going through." no - their friend's DON'T know what they're going through because they refuse to let anyone in. THAT'S why they have no one to turn to. until they realize that the world isn't out to ruin their lives, they will never get better, they will never be happy, and they will continue to be considered a failure.

on another note, no - i do not believe in pitying people who don't deserve it. pity only lets the person know that what they are doing (isolation through despair or anger, acts of anger, self-harm, drugs, alcohol) is ok since it gets them the attention that they feel they never got, so they continue to do these things. and yes, i do consider "simply" being in a constant bad mood to be as equally bad and influential as abusing alcohol/drugs because they all hurt others, they hurt the person doing it, and they will never help the person doing it regardless of how much it makes them feel "good". that "good" feeling is a cover-up and a method of sheer avoidence to the want to actually try to change and get better. and if we try to measure how important or severe someone's problem is, then no one would ever want to get help because they're not as important as others and don't deserve the attention. and yes, things like cutting are just as bad as alcohol/drug abuse in my eyes.

keep in mind that this is NOT everything that i think or believe. so before you get mad at me for not taking this or that into consideration, just shut up and stop yourself from being an idiot. express your opinion, yes, but do so in an intelligent manner.
i will open comments for a little bit, but as soon as i get a single idiotic comment they will close. this stamp is for those who feel the same as me.
and lastly, don't try to defend youself if you are someone who inflicts self-harm/drinks excessively/does drugs. i don't care to hear your story, and you should be busy telling your story to someone who can actually HELP YOU. not to some college student who just felt like expressing her own opinion.
