It's okay if sometimes all we do is survive. We survive for the moments when we learn to thrive. We will get there. I pray Jesus blesses you all so you can get to know him much better.

This can save lives of many Black people who were wrongly convicted and arrested on drug possession charges. Please spread!

Oh this hit all my red flags, I've torn down 3 already just walking Malaya to the park

To be depressed is to be suppressed. Depression thrives in a passive thought process. In this case, it's harder to remember things or have basic ideas come to mind. It feels like a dark fog and it takes a lot just to think of one happy thought. In this situation it's important to make your brain work. Sing to the lyrics and dance a little to the music. Research a passionate topic. Talk outloud about the details of the day. Write a speed story and just write down what your brain throws out. There's a chance you feel no emotional reward for doing things that stimulate the brain to be more mentally active for a while which is okay because these are tips that will help you get those lovely ideas sooner and get your brain back on track faster. Don't worry about fighting decreased brain activity with positivity because in this terrible state positivity might not be correctly processed. Fight this suppression because of self-love and because you are certain you can win the war with depression. Remember your passions even when depression tells you that you don't care anymore. As always, God bless. :)

You deserve it too, you know? Determined ghost believes it! ❤

Life can get overwhelming sometimes, and it makes us feel so small and powerless. Remember, you aren't as small as you believe. You have so much authority over life. You might be stuck in the wilderness, but you still have the power to bring about so many changes. They may, at the moment, be but little sparks that quickly go out, but give it time and eventually the sparks will be strong enough to bring about a flame that will help you forge your own path with even more opportunities for change.

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ

Meet Saraya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.

Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.

ELEVEN.YEARS.

This is not justice.

This is inhumane.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

UPDATE EDIT: Jan.5.2021: Saraya has written a letter: 

Dear Mom and Dad, 

I want you to post this on every social media platform that you can. I want you to do so, so that everyone knows how messed up the system is and how messed up the state is.

I don’t care if people know about my “crimes”, and I don’t care if people know I’m in prison. All I care about is letting people know the truth, this for me, and all of the rest of the kids in the system. This is what really, this is the truth….

I am Saraya Rees. I’m 14 years old, and I’m being charged with attempted murder x2. And attempted aggravated assault x1. I was arrested July 8th, 2019. I was in a detention for 3 months and 9 days. I spent my 14th birthday in Juvy. Not only that, but I have been sexually and physically harassed and the staff did nothing to help. I physically hurt myself even though I was on suicide watch.

They allowed the boys to make sexual gestures and comments to all of the females. The staff at my Juvy made fun of people who self harm or attempted suicide. They would do that right in front of the kids who have done that. Out of all the staff there was only one that was respectful. That staff’s name was Tom (thank you Tom for helping me through all this BS).

The reason I’m telling (whoever it may concern) this, is so you know what really happens in the system. But now I’m going to tell you why I’m really stuck in prison. I am being held in prison because I cried for help. People who know me, know I’ve done many things as a call for help. This was all of the biggest, what I did was pour a small amount of gasoline of the floor at my house. I was never going to light it, but the police and the court all said otherwise. 

When in comes to the court they don’t care about the fact they care about tearing people and families apart. The kids that they arrest are the kids who are being sexually and physically abused at home, the teen moms, the kids looking for love in the wrong places, places because their families don’t want them, the kids who are hurt, the kids who are suicidal. They arrest the misunderstood and that is not fair.

They arrest kids even if they have never committed the crimes, they arrest kids for no reason sometimes. As citizens of Oregon we need to take a stand, we need to stick up to this injustice. Please help get the kids like me who, without their families have nothing to hold onto. No reason to continue living out of places like this…please. Join our cause at #takeastand4oregon. 

                -Saraya Rees, 15 (she was 14 when this was written, I believe) (currently serving 11 years for a crime she did not commit)

At one moment in your life, you hit a patch that you never thought you’d recover from. And now here you are. And you’ll survive the next moment too.

Hi everyone!

We are an indie developing couple, and we’ve just released our first iOS and Android game. In it you can rack up a high score, proceed through the ranks, unlock rare accessories and design your own character. It’s free to play, and we have intentionally been very generous with premium currency to avoid the pitfalls of most gacha based games. We want all of the gacha and none of the frustration. In addition to this, we’re also running a launch campaign where if you download now you’ll get 250 pearls to use however you like!

If you are not interested in downloading or playing Orc Heist, please consider reblogging this post. We are hoping that this game will raise the funds needed for my fiancé’s immigration visa. It is a very expensive process that is especially difficult for us because I am disabled. Also, please don’t be shy about sharing feedback on the game, we welcome anything you want to say about it. Let’s have a good time!
