Anonymous asked: She contacts me over tumblr, and my friends have told me to block her, but I can't because I don't want her to get mad 'cause she seems quite calm towards me at the moment, except she had a dream about killing me the other day and told me. She got release on the first day of my exams as well, which sucked. I've tried telling my friends and they just dismiss it and tell me she won't do anything. Thank you so much for listening, sweetheart. People like you are the good people in life <3

In that case I do think you should tell your parents or some other adult that could help. Don’t take her calmness for granted, it could just be a phase, or she could even just be acting.

You’re very welcome, and thank you :)

Anonymous asked: Could you maybe give me some advice? A month ago, my ex-best friend threatened to kill me. She escaped from her secure unit (She was there for suicide attempts) to come and kill me, which got the police involved, but they found her and took her back. She's been discharged from the unit now so she's home and I think she still has intentions to kill me. I'm meant to tell people if she contacts me but If she does I have to talk to her as I'm scared I'll make her angry if I don't. What should I do?

Oh man that sounds like a mess. I guess it depends on how she contacts you, y’know? Like if she calls you or texts you or something then I don’t think it would be a bad thing to talk to her, maybe try to figure out some stuff and tell people about it later. Ask her why she’s doing this and whether she understands she would be taking your life, etc. I’m sure anyone involved would appreciate a little more knowledge on the subject. However, if she comes to your house or approaches you in person, GET OUT OF THERE. Do NOT let her into any situation that threatens your safety and security. She is threatening to KILL YOU. I don’t think making her mad is really much of an issue here.

That being said, I am not an expert on this at all. If that were me I would be so lost and helpless I probably would have been dead by now. So please, if you really are concerned for your life, tell the police. Take extra precautions to ensure your safety. Even if it turns out they were unnecessary, you’re better safe than sorry. I also just want to say that I admire your bravery with this. That would be so terrifying, and you are an extremely strong and capable person for making it this far.

it-was-always-y0u-deactivated20 asked: hey, so i just wanted advice on how to stay more positive? i try to be happy as much as possible but it seems like i'm always pessimistic.. what should i do?

Yeah, I have that problem sometimes too. Some things I do to stay on the bright side of things are the following:

• Think about my best friend. If there was legitimately something wrong with me, he/she would have dropped me a long time ago.
• Listen to music.
• Pick any topic. Any random topic. Space, for example. Think about anything and everything having to do with space. Imagine getting lost in space, how beautiful it would be. Imagine seeing galaxies far different from our own. Imagine the color that would exist solely in that area where the black nothingness meets the bright color of saturn in the sunlight. Just sit there and imagine anything you can.

That’s only a couple of things. But please keep in mind that you don’t have to be happy all the time. It isn’t a bad thing if, once in a while, you brood a little or see things from the bottom of a hole in the ground. Nothing is perfect, so what’s the sense in pretending it is? And here I go contradicting myself again, but even if you ARE looking at the world from a hole in the ground, just think of how beautiful everything could look. As long as you know you’ll be getting out of it at some point, take a minute to look at how small and far away all of life’s complications are, and how pretty the colors of the sand are below your feet.

Anonymous asked: I can't make anyone happy. I don't know why, but even though I act happy and try to make people laugh, their reactions always seem so fake. I don't know if it's just me or if it's them, but I don't want to continue like this. I'm not sure I can.

Just know that whatever happens, you are loved. You’ll make someone the happiest person in the world someday.

Aw you’re welcome, I’ve been waiting for it to get used again but no one seems to want my help anymore…

Anonymous asked: i've tried to be the perfect daughter to my dad but everything i do just makes him angry. I thought he was going to hit me today. what do i do?

First of all, this is not your fault. At all. I don’t want you thinking that. It’s his idea of the “perfect daughter” that’s skew from who you are, not the other way around.

That being said, I understand the want to make your father happy. And you should. But you can’t let that get in the way of you being who you are. Don’t change yourself for him so much that you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. It’s not worth it, and from what I understand, nothing but the absolute worst will please him. Don’t let him get to you. If he doesn’t like you for who you are, that’s his problem. You can try to make him understand that you’ve tried really hard for him, but depending on what kind of person he is, he may not see it. You’ve done your best. That’s all anyone can ask. But if you still put his wants above your happiness, which I would tell you not to but I know from experience wouldn’t be enough, ask him. Tell him you want to make him happy but you don’t know what would do that. And if he gets angry at you for that, give up. If he’s not willing to help you make him happy, nothing you do will bring about the results you want.

I hope this helped, good luck :)

Anonymous asked: Is it possible to die from taking too much aspirin? I'm just curious. I didn't do anything.

Yeah, but it would be slow and painful. You could die from internal bleeding and it is toxic your liver, which is what’s supposed to break it down. I DEFINITELY would not recommend it.

brendonuriesstalker asked: (2/2) I never get the recognition that I want. Not that I want to be selfish. But even though I deserve it, Im never picked because the stuck up girl will whine for days if she doesnt get her way. And they've gotten other names for me, names I choose not to repeat. And I cant even cope much longer.

I know the feeling. And I know how much it sucks. Do your teachers fel the same way? I.e. do they purposefully pick the suck ups over you, or do the kids sort of get the edge over you before the teacher is involved? If the teacher doesn’t really know what’s going on, talk to them. At least in music and art. Tell them that you feel these are your better subjects, and you want to be able to do what you can in them without being hindered. Tell them to pay attention to what’s going on. Tell them to sniff out the actual talents rather than the “talents” that buy their way in with words and tone of voice. It’s often an easy thing for a schoolteacher to do, they just have to know when it’s necessary. 

As for the name calling, I’m afraid I can’t stop that. But you know, I have a feeling that when you succeed at getting your art/music teacher to let you shine once in a while, some people may back down a little. Granted, some might try to tease you for your talents, but if that happens you just have to remember that what they’re saying doesn’t even make SENSE. Why should you be teased for being good at something? Does Dionysus get teased for being the god of wine? Maybe by the nymphs, but definitely not by the alcoholics.

brendonuriesstalker asked: I know I've already asked something. And this might take two asks at that. But still. I've always been more different than everyone. People tell me that Im odd. Weird. And we learned a new word recently at school. Idiosyncrasy. So now thats their nickname for me. "Hey look, its idiosyncrasy!" Just because I have a FEW more talents than they do. When I want to shine, i.e. art class, music class, I get scolded. They tell me I dont deserve the part and the stuck up kid always gets it. I never...1/2
