reminder that 30 isn’t old, it’s very normal to not accomplish everything in your 20s, and that it is never too late to learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn. you’re always growing. that’s a good thing.
Who the hell accomplishes everything in their 20s? Who made that a thing?
I was 48 when I started my apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist. I was 50 when I married the love of my life.
You’ve got time.
I needed this right now. I’ve got time!!!
Also: don’t let society tell you what “accomplishment” means. Your worth doesn’t depend on your job, your education, or your love life. You are valid and worthwhile just the way you are. Don’t let other people’s expectations stop you from enjoying life.
There is this super nice doc from onco doing my internal medicine rotation and he is fifty.
Fifty.
He has an engeneering degree but he hated the community of his uni and then his work place so he said to himself why not to try medicine.
I mean
U can do almost anything in any time of your life.
i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private
please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here
please, kiddos, stay safe
additionally, for my young, non-adult followers,
depression memes about wanting to die aren’t a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to worsening symptoms of your own mental health if overindulged in
you are not garbage. or trash. i know these terms are popular on here, but you shouldn’t be calling yourself that. you have everything you need inside of you to become your best self, even if it’s hard to see that
seriously, really don’t trust adults who want to date you. don’t trust adults who call you hot, flirt with you, ask you sexual questions, or ask you for nudes. (that last one is VERY illegal, also, please get help from a trusted non-creepy adult if this happens to you)
the opinions of complete strangers who aren’t interacting with you typically aren’t worth it. move on, use the block button. it’s not worth engaging with people who are going to make you feel awful or unsafe
take breaks from tumblr if it’s getting really stressful for you. talk to friends if you’ve got em, play a videogame or do whatever it is that can take your mind off the massive amounts of Hell on this website
recovery is good. it’s really, really good. if you’re having mental health issues, please seek out help if you can, or ask a trusted adult or friend for guidance. you are not alone. don’t let this website make you feel like you are
Happy pride month reminder that it was a gay who defeated the nazis and was responsible for the turning point in WW2 leading to the end of a terrible genocide, and also who invented the first computer
please also remember he ended up taking his own life due to psychological implications of borderline torture due to his sexuality
His name is Alan Turing.
He also came up with the reaction-diffusion model of finger development that developmental biologists later proved to be correct. Turing developed the model with very rudimentary information and revolutionized the thinking about the final stages of limb formation.
