Can we talk about
cyber bullying for just a minute?
I have one question for anyone who has ever said anything nasty\cruel\rude\despicable to another person over the internet.
What did you gain?
What did you gain from calling that one girl fat?
Or telling that one boy he's a "F a g g o t" ?
Or telling that group of kids to go kill themselves?
What did you earn from that, besides some bad karma?
Did it make you feel good about yourself?
Did you feel like ruler of the world for a little while?
What happens when that feeling of power vanishes after that five seconds?
What do you do then? Go find someone else to put down?
It's an endless cycle, you'll never actually have power.
Being mean, you actually lose power.
But by being nice, and doing what's right, you'll gain respect and friends.
I was cyber bullied today, here on Witty, you can go look in my comments. You can go to the one girl's profile and see what I wrote to her cause chriswebbylover42069 deleted my comments cause she knows she's wrong.
If someone is cyber bullying you, tell someone, and if it doesn't stop, call the cops.
But most of all, never contemplate taking your life because some bïtch/douche told you to. Chances are, her life's even more pathetic than yours seems to be. IT WILL GET BETTER. And those rude and offensive people, might end up being the ones pumping your gas, cleaning your toilets, or bringing you coffee and donuts later in the future. And always embrace your flaws and own them.
"Oh my god your nose is huge!"
"I know, right?! It's like a beak! I'm gonna go crack open some nuts with it. Later!"
You're you for a reason,and to me, who you are right now is pretty damn spectacular.

Imagine if all you ever wanted was attainable. You walk into a
store and a cluster of acne ridden teenagers stalk a aisle marked
desires. Shelves upon shelves hold compact white cans,
all with discreet labels reading off things like
"beauty" and
"self-acceptance". "Talent"
is in high demand.
And then one day, whilst reading the newspaper, you notice a story about a girl - a mere seventeen years old - who had overdosed on beauty. Her name was Catherine. and she had died in her bedroom, surrounded by a city of confidence and charisma.
You read that only beauty was found in her bloodstream, and then you think about what a beautiful corpse she will be.
Imagine if everything you ever wanted was attainable, and then it ended up killing you.

Love yourself– accept yourself–
forgive yourself– and be good to yourself, because
without you the rest of us are without a source of many
wonderful things.

I
need to learn how to stop destroying myself, stop being hard on
myself and be nice to myself. I need to keep telling myself that
I need to keep wanting something, something nice, something
warm…so I can make other people happy. I can understand
other people’s pain because I can love even after all that
is left of me is gone because I have that
strength.

He who lives in harmony with himself
lives in harmony with the universe.
If every tiny flower
wanted to be a rose,
spring would lose
its loveliness. ♥ ♥ ♥

The world
is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t
very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had,
why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-aging
moisturizer? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get
people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about
immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making
them worry about everything. How do you get them to have
plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do
you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about
missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By
making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm
becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own
non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human
selves, would not be good for business.
