emiljafrances:

a short rant on romanticizing sadness:

i am so fucking sick of the “sad girl” archetype, the “soft & defenseless” thing, the words “always” and “forever”, like seriously? what the fuck is wrong with people? of course we get sad sometimes. of course we feel weak. but stop romanticizing it. there is enough misery in this world, don’t create more because you think it makes you more “interesting”. stop making an entire subculture out of being soft, sad, & lonely. stop talking about how “you thought you’d be together forever”. don’t be so naive. nothing is forever, and there is not a single person on this earth you can completely depend on except for yourself. NEVER let someone else dictate or control your happiness. you are a complete person unto yourself. you can love another person with all your heart, but as long as you are dependent on them, you will only ever be setting them - and yourself - up for failure. because we are all human and we all fail, and expecting any one person to be your strength is one of the most ridiculous things you can do. find your own god damn strength within yourself.

This is something other than a discussion of depression and I have a lot of time for this post.

“we are all human and we all fail, and expecting any one person to be your strength is one of the most ridiculous things you can do”
