I Thought I Could Keep It Hidden.

I thought I could keep it hidden.

All the thoughts,

All the pain.

I thought if I just kept the voices quiet for a bit longer I’d be ok.

Years of pain,

Years of heartbreak.

All piled up.

That was it,

The final straw.

It hurt.

It hurt bad when it finally broke.

I didn’t know how to feel so I cried.

I cried silently as to not alert anyone.

I didn’t, couldn’t, share my pain.

Anxiety slowly took over my life.

Why couldn’t I control it?

God it hurts.

I had no friends when I left.

Left my home

My family

And all that I knew.

When I left I found myself.

Found peace,

And comfort where I thought there was none.

I found friends who love

And care for me.

Something I never had before.

I still struggle.

But at least I’m not alone.

McCoy’s face when threatened with bodily harm by a much stronger opponent: Zero Fucks Given

McCoy’s face when threatened with mental harm by a much stronger opponent: Every Fuck Given

This is a man who will look you, unblinking, straight in the eye, regardless of whether he’s blase or terrified…

But Bones would far rather spill his blood than his secrets.

Imagine Fives spending countless nights curled up in a ball crying himself to sleep because he misses his other half who he thinks is never coming home. 

Imagine Fives’ last thought being ‘at least I’ll get to see Echo again’ only for him to realize Echo was still alive and he never went looking for him. 

Imagine the pain Echo felt after he realized Fives died and there wasn’t anything that he was able to do about it. Imagine how many times Echo would smile only to think that his friend would never be able to smile again and feeling guilty.

Don’t imagine what Star Wars would have been like if Fives hadn’t died and Rex and Anakin had listened to him. 

Don’t imagine the jedi overthrowing the chancellor and giving the clones the life they deserve without the clones turning on the jedi. 

Don’t imagine Fives going with Rex after Echo. Don’t imagine Fives and Echo embracing one another both in tears so happy to see their best friend. Don’t imagine Fives finally truly smiling again after his friend’s ‘death’. 

Don’t imagine Fives being upset that his friend is now slightly taller than him but breaking down in laughter because he was never really mad about it. He could never be mad at the person he thought he had lost forever. 

Don’t imagine Fives and Echo being there to listen to the other one's trauma and helping them cope. (Fives with Umbara and Echo with being in Separtist hands for so long). 

Don’t imagine Fives and Echo being there when Ahsoka comes back and them grinning ear to ear to see their little sister finally come home. 

Don’t imagine that after Luke and Leia are born Fives and Echo being their two favorite uncles that help them cause chaos. 

Don’t imagine Anakin, Padme, Luke, and Leia living peaceful lives on Naboo and occasionally being visited by Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, or the rest of the 501st. Don’t imagine family dinners where they’re all sitting around and laughing and singing together while living their lives to the fullest. 

Whatever you do, don’t imagine what Star Wars would have been like had Fives survived.

PLEASE Share this!!! WRITTEN BY A COP: Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life. In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation… This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, & everyone you know. After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in. 1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do! 2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you… Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy.. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives. 4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location. 5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: A.) Be aware:look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat. B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars. C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.) 6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!) 7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern! 8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked ‘for help’ into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim. 9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her ‘Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..’ The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, ‘We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.’ He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night. 10. Water scam! If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors! Please pass this on This post should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America ’s Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana I’d like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well. Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better to be safe than sorry.. Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life.
