I think my childhood love affair with Full House paved the way for my adult love of smashing binaries.
Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life will feel like a Coppola film. —Letters From Nowhere (via

Any Questions?
Hmm, I was under the impression that this blog was about chronic illness, education on it, spoonie community… not shaming teenage mothers.
Sucks to have to unfollow but yeah. Not cool.
What is this bullshit? Yes, let’s place all the blame on the woman, as usual. It isn’t as though another person is required for conception to happen or anything. Oh, no.
There is no such thing as a 14 year old wearing provocative clothing. If you’re sexually attracted to a child, you’re the problem.
^ commentary.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ raretowelldone, if I knew you i’d bake you something
This literally makes no sense. Wearing make up or dressing a certain way doesn’t make you more likely to get pregnant at 16. First of all, this is slut-shaming to the max. Secondly…wearing makeup or dressing a certain way doesn’t mean you’re having sex. Thirdly, if the child has sex, it does not mean they’re having unprotected sex…even tho if they were we know nothing is guaranteed and shit happens. I guess if someone my age dresses “provocatively” I am at a higher risk of unplanned pregnacy? GTFO
You know what makes someone more likely to get pregnant at 16? A lack of comprehensive sex education and lack of information and access to birth control.
