This Website Will Never Cease To Amaze Me

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. Sometimes I would imagine myself in other roles, but I would always go back to teacher.

Today, for 17 minutes, a small group of people gathered on my college campus in solidarity with the school walkouts occurring across the country. It was a simple affair – one girl said a few words, a priest said a prayer, and then we stood in silence for the remaining 4 minutes.

Those 17 minutes, they’ve hit me hard. I’ve never experienced gun violence, never known anyone involved in a school shooting. But one thought kept turning around in my head: I don’t want this responsibility. I don’t want “willingness to stand between a student and a gun” written in my job description. It shouldn’t have to be. I want to be a teacher because I want to see students’ eyes light up, NOT the other way around. Is that so much to ask?

I still want to teach. Nothing will change that. I know that school shootings don’t happen every day, that I will likely never have to witness one. I walked into a public school every day for 13 years and never felt unsafe. But, frankly, so did the kids at Parkland. At Sandy Hook. Every one of those schools.

I was lucky. I still am lucky. But it never should have been about luck. School safety should be a given.

Today, think about the students. But also think about the teachers. The administrators. The nurse. The janitor. The cafeteria workers. The librarian. Think about the adults in the building. Think about every person in your school that you took for granted. Do you want “willingness to stand between a student and a gun” written in their job description? Because that’s what it’s come down to.

Something needs to change.

Nah cuz i fake it till i make it constantly. Tbh acting like you know everything without being arrogant about is such a level up for ya self esteem

anyone else get the constant fear that there are unspoken social rules you dont know about (especially in new situations, like when i first started taking the bus, i was afraid i was doing it wrong lol) so youre just always on edge and kind of… watching how other people act so you can copy the “correct” thing to do

I absolutely hated that, as a toddler i threw up if someone tossed me around and as a little kid i was so afraid of falling down?? lmao i was never trusted the ppl around me.

there’s nothing purer or better than how much kids enjoy being picked up and then hurled at soft surfaces

My life in a nutshell

„Veni, Vidi, Reliqui“

„I came, I saw, I left“

That’s probably my life quote and my life in a nutshell.

Even though I don’t really know what to do with it.

I don’t really like my brother but nowadays I relate to him more than I want to.

And it scares me like hell, because I never thought I’d get why he is so aggressive and mad about my mom.

I just want to figure life already out without getting scolded.

Just so beautiful.

WHYYYYYYYYYYY

okay, so the other day I wanted to look up Dan Howell and Phil Lester’s astrology charts, right? So I found out when and where they were born and came up with this…

Phil: Aquarius sun, Aquarius moon, Gemini rising, Aquarius mercury, Sagittarius Venus, Aries mars 

Dan: Gemini sun, Gemini moon, Gemini rising, Gemini mercury (jfc Dan has a lot of Gemini in his chart), Leo Venus, and Leo mars 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS 

IT MEANS THAT DAN AND PHIL ARE PERFECTLY COMPATIBLE TOGETHER AND NOTHING IN THEIR CHART IS HOLDING THEM BACK AND WTF THIS ISN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AND do you even realize what the odds of something like this happening??????
