some random kid
- ....
Parents are literally so amazing (I'm talking about the normal good human being ones), they spend their money so easily when it comes to something concerning their child, they always think about their kid before themself. I don't understand how someone could be so so selfless. I personally could never see me putting a child above me and sacrificing myself for them (like time, energy, my career, friends, money). Anyways this parenting thing is not for me I guess, but pets on the other hand...

- Ticci Toby 2/2
Anyway, I lived with Ma, Sis and Dear Old Dad. Dad was just an amazing father always getting drunk and beating us. He's dead now. And Sis? Sis died in a car accident. I suppose I grew more distant after that. Who the fuck needs a social life? I have the voices in my head to keep me company. To think those pesky doctors tried to silence them. Anyway, I butchered Dear Old Dad. Afterwards, I decided to end it all and escape this meaningless world but then I blacked out.

- Ticci Toby 1/2
Hey, my name's Toby. I'd like to tell you a little about who I am. Because you all care so fucking much. I was home-schooled from an early age because, well, you know the age-old tale. Kid has mental disorders, the kid is bullied and everyone picks on the kid. They called me "Ticci Toby" because of my goddamned ticks. I was troubled. I had tourettes and a slew of other disorders but my favorite was the one that made me completely numb to any pain. Too bad it couldn't work for a broken heart.

- For Michael
It was hell for them but it was heaven for me and then I leave without the slightest bit of guilt. So, there you go and now that you've heard this, you should know that I check this spot every day to see if this tape has moved. I've seen it so many times, I'll be able to notice even the slightest difference. I will know. So you better put it back, Michael, as neatly as you can. And start running.

This site is literally giving me so many college essay ideas. Anyways, I literally only have 2 weeks or maybe less, I don't want to think about it, of summer left, and I still haven't started a single one haha.

People make jokes so easily when they are not in the other's shoes. They joke about being diabetic, they joke about disabilities, people's trauma. Imagine if you were mute and how suffocating it would be to not speak out when you want, when you are consistently talked over and ignored. When you're diabetic you don't have the freedom to eat and do whatever you want, sometimes it's a consequence of life choices but most of the time it's not controllable as it is from genetics.

- college
Why is everything you have ever worked for sum up to whether you make it into a good college or not? I consistently stress about everything I feel like I have poured my life down the drain, everything feels so pointless. I need to write multiple college essays, get a good score, a great GPA, and have people skills and community input. Why do they sum up our life with these statistics and a few written words of experiences.
Emily Bronte
- Wuthering Heights
You loved me - then what RIGHT had you to leave me? Because misery and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, YOU, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - YOU have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - oh, God! Would YOU like to live with your soul in the grave?
Emily Bronte
- Wuthering Heights
I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.
Emily Bronte
- Wuthering Heights
My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and HE remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem part of it.

- I think I'm getting burnt out.
I think I'm getting burnt out. I think I'm getting tired of getting no appreciation for the things I do. Things that aren't my responsibility whatsoever. I shouldn't have to get yelled at or ridiculed because that person is upset about something that has nothing to do with me. When I say I don't want to do something, I shouldn't have to get guilt tripped or yelled at until I eventually cave in. My feelings shouldn't be downgraded because another person has gone through something worse.
Barney Stinson - How I Met Your Mother
Lily you have to come home. You and Marshall belong together. The two of you have something that most people search their whole lives for and never find. I know you love him and if you knew what he was going through right now you wouldn't be here for one more second. I bought you a ticket home.

Please don't hang up on emergency services. Even if it is an accidental call, they don't know that. All they know is that someone was breathing heavily on the phone, and not responding when they ask questions. Then, suddenly, you disconnected, and their mind goes to the worst possible scenario. Just say that it was an accident and don't freak them out.

- Whining About Whining
Probably one of the most irritating genres of quote on here is the kind where the writer complains about the sort of quotes they don't like. I mean, you can just skip it if you don't like it, why gripe? Hang on, I'm just getting word that this is actually one of those exact kinds of quotes. Huh. Gotta say, I feel a little silly.

- Context is for kings
I did choose you, but not for the reasons you think. Your assumption that the Klingons were waiting in ambush at Binary Stars was predictive. You chose to do the right thing over what was sanctioned, even at great cost to yourself. And that is the kind of thinking that wins wars. The kind of thinking I need next to me. Universal law is for lackeys. Context... is for kings.
Jason Lefkowitz
- the past was just completely fucking awful
A core element of fascist ideology is the idea that there was once a perfect, ideal past, that we through our degeneracy let slip away. The fascist promises to bring us back to it by being a stern ruler who will punish us for our sins. So it's important to help people understand that there was NEVER a perfect, ideal past. There was just people and their various screw-ups. And people now are fundamentally the same as people then. The clothes change, the rituals change, but people are people.

- People say, "The Internet is forever." This is not true.
Imagine if YouTube was shut down. It would be a literal tragedy for the human race. Billions of hours worth of creativity would disappear in an instant. "That would never happen!" some believe. But it already has. Remember Google+? All of it's gone forever. Or remember all that media stored on MySpace? It's vanished. We must stop depending on Big Tech to archive our data. Their mandate is to profit off our data, not preserve it.

- I was a fast-food worker. Let me tell you about burnout.
If you had to make a rat depressed, how do you think you'd go about it? To test your new antidepressant, you need an efficient method of making a lot of rats exhibit anhedonia - that is, making them lose interest in things they used to enjoy, like sugar. It turns out you don't need to traumatize them. The most reliable protocol is "chronic mild stress." ... remove all predictability and control from the animal's life. Then take notes as they gradually lose interest in being alive.

- The mirror of Erised
This mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible... It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

- Rest in peace Seamus Jr.
Here lies Seamus Jr., named for his father, the great Seamus the Wonderer, Seamus the Escape Artist, Seamus, the one who got away. We sow these berries as a sign of good faith that Seamus was one of us, that Seamus Jr. was part of the family. Seamus Jr., you were in our life for a short period of time but you change us for the better. You made me feel what it was like to be a father, you made me feel what it was like to be a failure.
