Posting problems

Hi Followers,

Sorry for the random posts lately. I have been having some trouble with the tumblr app lately and some personal blog posts have escaped onto this blog. I will try to keep it from happening again.

As for this blog - I am still planning on updating. I have been searching for some new happy things that I like to put up on here, but I have been particularly uninspired lately. So instead of putting up a bunch of depressing things, I have decided to put the posts on hold until I can get a good queue of happy thoughts going.

Sorry again, and thanks for understanding. I hope I can get some stuff up soon!

I am Philip DeFranco: I was horrified this morning...

defranco:

…when I saw so many people blaming a girl who drank so much that she passed out and was raped multiple times after when I commented on the story on my facebook page this morning.

I had to issue this statement that I think should really be taken to heart:

Im super disappointed in so many of…

I know a lot of people have seen this already, but it’s worth seeing again. Have a listen to KP’s pep talk, and have a good Friday.

Don’t stop just because you don’t know where the road takes you. The very reason you must keep going is because you don’t know what lies ahead.

"I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there’s a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they’re not the same, ever again."

- Alice Walker

The topic of suicide is near and dear to me. Please watch this documentary, Saving 10000, and reblog if you can. Suicide prevention awareness is extremely lacking here (Japan), and if watching this means that one person - Japanese or other - rethinks their decision and gets some help then it is worth it. If you are thinking about suicide now, please talk to someone. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, please keep trying until you find someone who will listen. Don’t give up on yourself. There is hope and a purpose for you.

The video is subtitled in Japanese and English.

この動画は「Saving 10000」というドキュメンタリーです。日本人の自殺についてのです。皆さん、見てくださいませんか。自殺の予防するためも、reblogしてください。このドキュメンタリーを見たら、自殺しないようにしようと思ってくる人がいるかもしれませんので、お願いします。そして、今動画を見ている方の中で自殺をしようと思っている人もいるなら、誰かに話をかけて悩みを相談してください。誰も聞いてくれないと思ったら、負けずに悩みが聞こえる人を探してください。自分のことをあきらめないでください。あきらめるのはまだ早いです。生活と人生はどんな状況でも、あなたの存在は大切です。あなたの人生の希望も目的もあります。

動画は日本語と英語の字幕があります。

When will you shine with me? Please I’m begging!
Where are my, where are my,
Where are my soldiers at?

I’ve been a big fan of Yuca for a few years now, and their new single fits the theme this week, so here enjoy! You can find them on facebook, too.

Also, congrats to me for the 101th post today! I hope this blog has left some of you inspired, made some of you pause and think, or made someone open to some new ideas. I hope it continues to do so for another 101 posts — if I can make it there!

Thanks for following until now!
