sometimes i’m like “why am i still here” but then i realize that i’m often the only person who is around to take bad-to-eat stuff out of my dog’s mouth and i think there’s this sort of western idea of “if youre not CEO youre nothing special” but my dog is still alive bc of me and i’m still alive bc of other people so maybe i’m just here to pet cats and wear sweaters and help people take the glass out of their mouth. you know? maybe i won’t be CEO but maybe i’ll be able to help somebody afford their trip home. and i think that’s pretty okay, you know?

i needed to hear this today i think

“Why is that brave, you ask? Simple: because living with the stigma of struggling with depression — with any mental illness, really — can be just as soul-crushingly awful as dealing with the depression itself. Even if you’re a super-cool, super-famous celebrity with legions of fans.

Now of course, Padalecki has access to things that other people coping with mental illness don’t have, like endless amounts of money for treatment and the ability to take weeks off to unwind.  But when he “came out” as depressed earlier this year, he had to have fully known that the stigma exists for him, too — because, when you’re a manly-man actor who leads one of the manly-manliest shows on television, how could you possibly be depressed? Shouldn’t he just go home and cry into his piles of money? (No, he shouldn’t. And yes, I’ve already seen this exact argument tweeted about Padalecki on the interwebs. By jerks.)”

“I’m holding the candle in my pocket right now, I can’t let go of
it. At
first I didn’t know what it is. I thought people were holding up their
iPhones or something. And then someone handed me the note explaining it
and I found out what was really going on. It took everything in my power
not to cry.”

Along with the candles that were passed out to the
crowd came a note:
“Everyone is given a candle that burns just for them.
When your flame flickers and you fear it will go out, know not seven
the strongest wind lasts forever; and there are other lights to guide
you even in the Darkness…And when your candle burns bright, you can
ignite the hearts of others and hope will spread like wildfire…Always
Keep Fighting, and you’ll never fight alone.”

“I just want to say
thank you, so much. It’s stuff that I have dealt with and
I’m still dealing with so it means so much to me. I hope the fans feel
support from me the way I feel support from them. I love them all very
much. I really do. Fight for each other. Love each other. Always keep
fighting.”
