Never Give Up - Tumblr Posts
In the year 1936, only one individual maintained a lowered arm as the others did not.
Gustav Wegert (1890-1959)
A single gesture has the potential to raise questions about the entire empire.

There are moments in history when you can show what you don't stand for!
To be on the current side of history's victors is not to be on the right side, because history is only measured in retrospect by the injustice that the so-called victors did during their time of power.
We are all born with a moral and ethical compass that lets us know what is good and what is evil.*
No matter how much we allow ourselves to be indoctrinated or manipulated, there is still a spark of morality alive deep within us.
This will torment us in old age, so many will seek forgiveness in religion. But once upon a time, God may forgive executioners, but history does not.

*We must add that this does not apply to the mentally ill....and there are enough of them in positions of power.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Now listen here bitch

Limahl - Never Ending Story
“The greater reward than the prize awarded after a hard fought battle is actually the victory itself and it’s significance. Applaud yourself. You’ve changed the trajectory of those who will come after you. Making things easier and more likely for them to continue doing so for those who will come after them. You’re giving opportunity to those who don’t even exist yet. Revel in that.”
- Master Knox
We continue to live our lives in this crazy world. Despite the suffering, the genocide, the politics, the pollution, the hate, we continue on. This world is full of fear, destruction, and discrimination, but we keep fighting.
I am but a child living a privileged life, what I have been through is but a speck in comparison to the cruel world.
No matter what you are going through, you don't deserve it. You are a valid human being, who deserves a safe place.
I know life might suck right now. I know the world we live in is far from perfect, but never give up.
I wish I could do more to help those in need. But for now all I have are my words of encouragement.
Never lose hope. Never stop being you. Never let them take away your voice.
Some people may be assholes, but don't let them stop you from living your life. I hope that one day I can make a difference in this world, but for now I'm just a kid.
The weight of the world is heavy, but we can bear it together. No one person should have to go through anything alone. To rid this world of hate and suffering would be amazing, but for now we must keep living, we must survive, and hold onto to what we care about. I wish you all the best of luck. I hope you get to live your life to the fullest. I hope for your freedom. I hope for your joy. I hope that one day you won't have to worry about your safety. But for now, keep living, keep surviving, keep on being you. You are amazing and incredible just the way you are. You are enough. Your problems may be big or small, but one day you will get through it. I wish I could say it will all end and be better, but the world continues to be hateful. But I hope we can work together for a brighter future.
From the river to the sea let Palestine be free.
My fellow Americans, vote blue. They may be supporting the bullshit country known as Isreal, but they are still better than Trump. I know it's conflicting, but honestly pretty sure Trump would just fuck up the government that is already a bit screwed. We need people that will support us as we are. It is really shitty that they aren't acknowledging genocide, but Trump isn't either, and if you don't vote, chances are a literal criminal will be in the white house again. Right now I can't vote, so please vote for me. Your voice matters. Your choice makes a difference. Please vote blue.
And to those who are doing well, to those enjoying their lives. I'm happy for you. It makes me smile that despite all the bullshit in the world some people still mange to live good lives. Please don't take what you have for granted. And if you can help out in any way to make the world a better place, no matter how small, please do. If you don't have extra time or money, don't feel guilty. You matter and your needs matter. Take care of yourself, but once you have done that it doesn't hurt to take care of others.
Be the change in the world, that you want to see.
I send you all lots of love.

It all works out at the end.
France won the Olympics in volleyball, congrats from Poland!!!!!! it was well fought 🙏🙏
I couldn't go to uni today, but later I went out into town and I watched a movie (I haven't watched one ever since my last major panic attack, so this was a big milestone), I cried, I laughed, I feared... The usual roller coaster. I went out to sit on the bench outside my college dorm room because I feared something bad was going to happen. Nothing happened, but I saw a cat and the wind was blowing strongly and I listened to a band I hardly listen to and their songs went straight into my heart... I am still here. I am still trying. I am tired, but I'm not giving up.

Great words of wisdom and advice from a successful philanthropist and businessman.
for the rest of my life, cursed with this disease for all those who suffer, we just got to believe believing in yourself is the hardest thing to do so take a look in the mirror and ask," do you see you?" everyday and every night we hurt wishing we were taken care of by a nurse this morning I woke up, fell out of my bed damn it!, wish I had some pills for the pain in my head what ya'll don't know, is what ya'll don't see the disease trying to take control, makes me want to bleed past memories, shooting up all these cravings I don't want to use, I pray, I'm begging. please strengthen me for everyday is a new day but where's my strength, when alls I do is lay. no energy, no effort to be who I want to be the life of an addict, can't you see? this battle has been won the war my friend, will forever go on. so now what are you going to do? hold my head up high, and try not to get the blues! no more smoking powder out of that pipe I'm in the fight for my life. I've come a long way, so u don't got to judge so when standing next to me, don't give me that nudge if u really want to know, I will tell my journal, turned into a book, it might sell my dreams now are back in sight with help through the darkness, is that light shocked and smiling knowing I did survive through this disease, thank god, I am still alive.
Guess who finally got 1k?
Sorry, I'm a little sleepy after last night. So, thank you guys so much for helping me out including letting me help you guys in your channel in return. I really hope we can work together to fix Gacha community someday to make it better again for the future. Cause I know for sure we all want our hopes and dreams of Gacha to live on with our lives. So, let's stay determined, Never give up our hope and dreams and Help Gacha what it is today!!!
I miss you but I just realize that I can’t go back to the old times
(via tinooo-blog-blog-blog)
I will go back to the old times! I will never give up on her! I will find a way!
me in the middle of the night putting random stuff in the box on thisisnotawebsitedotcom because I wanna be the first to find some new crazy lore or smth:
Shop Look Isn’t Polypore...but so far: It’s a close second
Today is Day 1 of our Polyvore withdrawal and right now...it’s not going very well. In over a couple of hours: Polyvore has shut down, bought and sold to the highest bidder (by way of SSENSE), and has become like every other website for fashion (and not very interesting about it, I may add). We, the fans and loyal people of the world and interweb, who love and adore Polyvore as much as I do, won’t take this sitting down. So far, Stage 1 has begun: Denial and Shock.
A natural response for Polyvore people who found out that their favorite place to go, the website that made them feel good, a place where they could make friends, compliment, and create entire identities and personalities, is gone. A world where it was bright, crazy, unpredictable, and - above all - special made life beautiful and bearable. The feeling of pride and happiness in the sense of style and preferences is replaced by new feelings: mediocrity and bland.
For others, it was the only thing that gave them a sense of joy. A way for ordinary people to become different: to become high-end fashionistas and trendsetters without damaging their budget or bank account. It was modest but elegant; innovative and intriguing. A beautiful blend of code, fashion, and the love of the fashion world that made this dream a reality.
Now, I will be blunt, and you all deserve to know my honest opinion. I am an optimistic person: I firmly believe that good things will happen, that out of a dark world a bright light will appear. I have faith that Polyvore won’t be eliminated or taken down. Some of you might think of me as a naïve person, while others still believe that everything will be set right. Truth be told...I’m afraid. I’m worried that it’s not going to be enough and Polyvore might cease to exist, which is something I don’t want to happen (unless if I have anything to say about it).
The petition #BringBackPolyvore is going great so far. We’ve exceeded our 5k limit, and it’s on track to almost 7500 signatures. News buzz about our petition is spreading, and everyone is noticing Polyvore. However, if some people feel they should contribute a little more, you can email Oath Inc. (the company that owns Polyvore), and it’s CEO Tim Armstrong. Email the founders and CEO of Polyvore itself. Make your voices heard to him saying that to cancel or remove altogether the Polyvore website and program, is to remove and suppress the creativity and passions of the people.
Furthermore, with all this talk about a backup website in case, I submit to all of you: ShopLook.io. It’s putting some extra things on its site, but it’s an excellent alternative for Polyvore. Let me explain a few details about the website.
First of all, it’s cute; A trendy chic cute. It’s pure and bright, has a lot of potential for improvement, and is formatted the same as Polyvore. They are working diligently to make sure that Shop Look has some of the same features as Polyvore did, like the option of creating collections and fashion sets, clipping items to your profile and items list, commenting and liking fashion sets from other users, and sharing them on Pinterest.
To continue, there are some new features they’re adding throughout the upcoming months: developing a new iOS and Android app for portable usage. Being able to communicate directly with the user and a new thing they’re adding is commission sharing with outfit creators (from what I’ve read on the button that says for ‘Polyvore Users'). Right now, they’re still working on the site so it will take a while before everything is ready to go. The subscription is free, just like Polyvore, and you can follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest to follow what’s going on.
For the next few days (or however long it takes), fighting for this beloved website is going to be a more significant challenge. But we have to remember that “An honest voice is sometimes louder than a crowd’s. Trust your voice.” - Reese Witherspoon

SSENSE IS GOING DOWN!!!
I was on the @BBPolyvore Facebook page and stumbled upon this: a photo of a customer complaint from a loyal SSENSE User about how the fashion site handled its acquisition of Polyvore. And from what I’ve read (and hopefully what you’ll read soon) this person is disappointed, disgusted, and disillusioned to this company’s business ethics...and I’m super happy!!!
This is the kind of change we need to expose as well as keep fighting SSENSE from their business ‘plan.’ Right now, we need to stand together - now more than ever - and keep protesting their products, website, and business for what they’ve done to us.
I don’t know when our beloved Polyvore will return or how, but I still have hope that the Polyfam is going to beat this...and I still believe that we will win this fight.
Our petition has reached 11K signatures and is on track for 15K at change.org. Repost this, tweet it, retweet it, show it on Facebook and Instagram, and let the world know: we are never backing down and we will never give up!!
Here’s the petition: https://www.change.org/p/former-polyvore-users-creative-minds-bring-back-polyvore
#BringBackPolyvore Petition reached 14k signatures!
As most of you all know, the beloved creative website - Polyvore - deleted itself and shut down a week ago on Thursday, thereby creating an outrage in the past couple of days (all of which is well warranted). But, we are still making strides for Oath Inc. and Verizon to bring it back, completely intact.
Now, the petition - started by a former Polyvore user, Lauren Coates - has now reached 14k signatures of the 15k (even then, the petition will continue to grow in support) we need.
I don’t know if they’re going to bring Polyvore back (and I still believe that they will). but please show your support and sign the petition; reblog this post, follow the Twitter and Facebook page @BBPolyvore as well as Instagram @princessesofpolyvore, and continue making your voices heard.
