And that’s the most frustrating...
And that’s the most frustrating thing about depression. It isn’t always something you can fight back against with hope. It isn’t even something — it’s nothing. And you can’t combat nothing. You can’t fill it up. You can’t cover it. It’s just there, pulling the meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful, proactive solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast to the scope of the problem.
It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why they disappeared.

This is actually a really good way to explain it, I think.
I WILL NEVER NOT REBLOG THIS

This amazing woman is Samantha Mott. You need to know about her. Your life will better after this post, trust me.
Samantha is a competition fighter who won a world longsword tournament.
She owns a lot of swords, as you would imagine, but she also designed some of them herself to suit her particular forms of fighting.
She’s also a writer and artist
and is developing a graphic novel series.
She’s a stunt fighter who has performed in film and on stage.
And, oh yeah, she works for WETA Workshop in New Zealand.
She lead the team that built this armor for the Hobbit trilogy:
And these
She also worked on this from District 9
And most recently was the assistant to the Lead Fabricator for the HULC suit in Elysium
Let’s just be clear - this is a champion swordfighter, a weapon designer, a feature film prop and armor maker, a stunt performer, a fiction and non-fiction writer, and a cute monster drawing artist, all in one amazing woman.
Someone who does this much cool stuff is probably a snob and doesn’t have time for anyone else, right? Nope. Actually she does tutoring and youth work.
Her latest tweet was complaining about DC comics fucking up their continuity. Other tweets were about trans* rights and feminist issues.
This is pretty much the most awesome and inspiring person I’ve come across in a long time.
I guess my only question is - why aren’t there more movies about women like her?
was gonna reblog for great armor and garb ideas…. then I read about my future wife

Parenting, you’re doing it right.
I can only hope to be this type of parent.
These parents make my heart melt
That last one really got me. That’s such a good idea, and bless his dad for wanting his son to not feel left out. All his friends were probably like “Look at all my candy” and Fletcher was like “LOOK AT ALL MY TOYS HAHA I GOT TOYS”
I’d never seen the airplane one before! That’s BRILLIANT!

This is my favorite kind of suit!
I have the middle left one, only black with white polka dots. :D It is indeed the best swimsuit ever. It seriously looks good on everyone, even people with oddly-shaped bodies like me.
