I should’ve had my sights set on successful businesswomen and successful female artists, authors, and politicans to emulate. Instead I stupidly and pointlessly just wanted to be considered pretty. I squandered my brain and my talent to squeeze into a size 2 dress while my male counterparts went to work on making money, making policy, making a difference.

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. People do not understand that mental illnesses, such as depression, are actual chemical imbalances in your body. They are not brought on by choice. My dad was diagnosed with depression. He was so ashamed of it that he hid it from me and my brothers. A month later, he killed himself. The stigma that comes with mental illness made my Dad embarrassed to talk to his own kids about this problem because he felt like less of a man.
Erase the stigma. The more we talk about mental illness, the less likely it will end in suicide.

Screaming Infidelities // Dashboard Confessional
Well, as for now I’m gonna hear the saddest songs and sit alone and wonder how you’re making out. But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone making out.
Your hair, it’s everywhere. Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
