every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself
so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead
now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here
the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family
eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again
and so it begins..
i was not fucking ready for this photograph
… this photo makes the whole thing so much better and I cannot stop laughing help I need oxygen
If I could offer a young person advice about anything it would be do NOT make life decisions based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Girls especially. Do NOT stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities to travel or study abroad, do not pick a safe college to be with him. Expand your horizons. Broaden your own life. He is not the world.
I want everyone who disagrees with this post to come back to me in a couple years and tell me how that shit worked out.
13 Reasons Why opened up a lot of wounds and close old ones.
Last year, one of my closest friends killed herself… right on New Year’s Eve. 2016 was so hectic we didnt even got a chance to mourn her completly. She was depressed, moody, seeked help but did not seem to help. So she decided to end her life.
As soon as I heard the news the next day, I was relieved, and sad, and mad.
You see… I’ve had suicidal thoughts too. I knew about her depression, she knew about mine. And I felt bad, I felt bad for thinking that she was finally without pain, no suffering. And she left me here to rot. I did not have the courage to do it to myself. I never could, I dont think I ever will. Cause I got to see the other side.
I got to see all of our friends cry, her parents cry, her family hurting. And I was mad, cause how could she do that to them. I could never put my parents thru so much pain.
Ep 13. really changed my life. I realized I wasnt a good friend. none of us where. Nobody bullied her, but we neglected her. That episode also gave me an insight of how scary the last minutes of her life would have been. And like when I heard that she died. I havent cried yet.
