there’s no such thing as a stupid reason not to kill yourself.
your school sells cookies on thursdays? your favorite band is coming out with a new album? you’re still saving up for that tattoo? there’s still five sodas in your fridge and it’d be a shame to let them go to waste? you want to see the season finale of that show you love? keep living.
your reasons don’t have to be big, if they mean anything to you then they’re good reasons.
Yes! Just make something to look forward to
Okay but this is honestly true.
One of the closest times I came to committing suicide was when I was home alone for the weekend a few years ago. The reason I didn’t?
No one else was there to feed the cat until Monday.
That’s it. That’s all that saved me.
See, this is such good advice, because it can put you in the frame of mind that you need to be in to combat depression. Even things that seem little, like, “My plant will die if I don’t water it,” or “I’m the only one that takes out the trash, anyways” are examples of how you’re needed and valuable, even appreciated.
There are people out there that need you and love you. Stay alive friend, because it is so worth it.

- Remus who was a normal little boy from a normal wizarding family, until the day he was attacked and his whole life changed.
- Remus who thought he had lost any chance at the life he was supposed to have, until Dumbledore offered him a place at Hogwarts.
- Remus Lupin who arrived at school a tiny, scared, boy with a huge, terrifying secret, and no one to tell.
- Remus Lupin who shared a dormitory with James Potter and Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, who were terrible for his sleep cycle but did wonders on his psyche.
- Remus Lupin who had friends, real friends, for the first time in his life.
- Remus who hid James’ glasses in funny places with Sirius and drew all the curtains closed on his dorm bed and played Exploding Snap for hours with Peter, skiving off on Transfiguration.
- Remus who sat with Lily in class, because they were both dorks who liked to make dumb puns in whispered laughs during lectures.
- Remus who raced James Potter barefoot down the longest corridor in fifth floor, winning and gloating over his victory for weeks.
- Remus Lupin who always wore too big sweaters to hide the scars from the transformation all over himself from his friends.
- Remus Lupin who’s friends find out anyway, in September of second year, when they are twelve and James has grown over the summer and Sirius isn’t speaking with his family, and Peter is almost failing Herbology.
- Remus Lupin who couldn’t take the hurt sometimes and skipped classes to cry in the bathrooms.
- Remus Lupin who was found by Sirius Black, who took him to the kitchens where Remus discovered that crying over treacle tart with a concerned Sirius was better than crying alone, under the sinks.
- Remus Lupin who thinks James is stupid when it comes to Lily Evans, but brilliant when it comes to almost everything else.
- Remus Lupin who tried his whole life to be gentle and kind, and everything his wolf form was supposed to take from him.
- Remus Lupin who accidentally knocked two of Peters teeth out when they were in fifth year trying to jump out of a cupboard to surprise Sirius but hit heads on the way down, and Peter who laughed the whole way to the hospital wing.
- Remus who took comfort in all of his friends, but had Sirius Black closest to his heart, and trusted him more than anything else in the world.

- Remus who cried alone for twelve years, only the memories of their smiles to make him feel less alone.
- Remus Lupin who had to read about Sirius’ escape from prison in the papers like the rest of the world, even though they were once two broken halves of a whole, Remus who had to see Sirius’ face laughing at him from the front page of every tabloid.
- Remus who is an amazing teacher and the first healthy father figure for Harry, who loves him and teaches him and sees so much of James and Lily in him it breaks his heart. Remus who sometimes cannot look at Harry without seeing Lily, swatting him with her astronomy notebook, or James falling asleep on the train beside him.
- Remus who fights in two wars, despite his quiet, gentle exterior.
- Remus who falls back in step with Sirius and spends hours talking with him, laughing with his head tilted sideways and letting his friend cry the tears he bottled up for years.
- Remus Lupin who has to lose his best friend twice in his life, when Sirius is dragged screaming to Azkaban, stripped of his charm and his laugh and his sunlight; and again when Sirius dies in the ministry.

i can never go shopping with my mum again
we were browsing in a bookshop and i drifted to the other side of the store and left my mum to her own devices for like five seconds and i turn around to glance back at her only to find her picking up fifty shades of grey from a shelf
the thing you need to know about my mum is she’s not like all the other mum’s who have bought and read the book. she is quaint and innocent and doesn’t even know what smut or raunch means. she thinks sex before marriage is a no-no and she has a fit when she sees guys with their trousers down so low their boxers show
i’m pretty sure my birth was a miraculous conception
so just imagine my horror for a second as i see her open the book, blissfully unaware of the contents
imagine, if you will, a nineteen year old literally hurling herself across the store, shrieking “MUM NO” with an arm outstretched ready to punch the book forcefully out of her hands
passersby are shoved out of the way, indignant retorts are made, but the nineteen year old doesn’t care because she’s got to move so fast she makes the speed of light her bitch otherwise her mum is going to read about christian piledriving the shit out of anastasia
but the nineteen year old doesn’t quite make it
her mum lets out a horrified gasp and exclaims ‘NIPPLES?!’
other people glance over their shoulders, notice the book in her grasp and shake their heads in disapproval
the nineteen year old comes to a stand still, everything seems to go in slow motion as she watches her mum turn to look at her, confusion and shock written all over her face as she whispers, again,
……’nipples?’

Éowyn says that women must ride now, as they did in a like evil time in the days of Brego, when the wild men of the East came from the Inland Sea into the Eastemnet. - The History of Middle-earth, Volume 8, The War of the Ring*
* There we have a reference to the women of Rohan fighting against an invasion of Easterlings during the reign of Eorl’s grandson (named there as Brego, but following later versions this would be Aldor). This invasion would have been about four hundred years before Éowyn’s time.
