This evening I got a dose of reality, ever since I can remember I’ve been sheltered by my parents to keep me from harms way, I’ve only seen rape, sexual harassment, and other related subjects on the news, on Law And Order and other crime related shows. So while walking back to my boyfriends car from a festival, about 6 to 7 “wangsters” (white trash “gangsters”) were about 2 to 3 feet behind my boyfriend and I and also a friend we met up with there (keep in mind this friend is of black ethnicity and he’s a MMA fight etc) so because they were pretty close to me I could here them talking about my ass, curves etc (btw I have an ASS, not to sound conceited or anything cause I’m really really not) saying things like “dayum she got a FAT ASS” “I’d fuck that bitch so damn hard bruh” and things like that. So because of what they were saying and how close they were to me I felt very VERY violated because I don’t enjoy being talked about like a peice of meat. Anyways feeling the need to defend myself I ask the guys to please back off because I felt uncomfortable. Within a second their response was “what chu gon’ do bitch” and then they keep on saying those inapropiate things to me. Now feeling threatned and defending me our friend whom we met up with asked them to stop as well but they started acting hard etc. And our friend politely asked them to hit him (cause let’s face it he would’ve kicked their ass) also keep in mind they were stick thin no muscle on em but they were older than us. So these “wangsters” started running up threatning to hit him but stopped as soon as they got close up to his face. While this was going on my mature boyfriend had the cops on the phone because it was the right thing to do. Long story short guys, how I’m ffeeling right now (violated, harassed, threatned, scared) only makes me wonder what real rape victims must feel like.. its unreal how terrible people are these days tbh I didn’t even realize those kind of people existed because of how sheltered I was. This was the very first time anything like this has happened to me. It opened my eyes because what if I was alone and this would’ve happened? I would’ve gotten raped.. its scary. Its sad how women in general are somettimes looked at as “toys” or “peices of meat” to some people.. this defenitly has taken a toll on my mentality. But I’m thankful for my boyfriend and friend I had with me. Ladies be cautious of your surrondings and know your weapons well. That’s all I have to say.

This is an old family picture.
My family does not support my being in the LGBTQIA community. They actually are opposed to it. They tell me every day that its disgusting and that it’s sinful and I’ll go to hell for liking women.
I moved out when I was seventeen, and in January I moved back in with them because I couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Every day one of my five siblings tells me to go back to Minnesota. My little brother Charlie (the black baby in the picture) is now 8 and he constantly physically attacks me and tells me that I’m not his sister and to leave. My other siblings make it very obvious and clear that they don’t want me here and my parents tell me constantly that they’re gonna kick me out soon.
I’ve been saving every penny for a bus ticket to Oregon to stay with my best friend and today I found this picture in my sisters’ room ON DISPLAY. Not hidden. On display. They cut my face out of the picture.And that… That was just the last straw.
I don’t care if anyone reblogs this or whatever, I don’t wanna get popular, I just want people to know that this is not what a family looks like. This is not something people should have to go through.This is no life.

PICK UP LINE HOUR IS NOW
- Me: Wears band shirts out in public in hopes that someone attractive will notice and compliment my shirt and have a conversation with me about music so we can get married.
i went to spring fever tour tonight and made the decision to miss prom for it which was the best decision of my life. because of that, me and my friend chloe decided to dress up for the concert as if it were prom and we brought a giant banner that said “we skipped prom for this” on it. we specifically decided to crowd surf with the sign first when mayday parade played somebody that i used to know cuz we knew vic fuentes would be on stage with them. derek sanders of mayday parade saw me crowd surfing with the sign and gave a shout out to me for skipping prom after the song, which was awesome! then pierce the veil came onstage and during their acoustic i’m low on gas and you need a jacket, Chloe and i started slow dancing to have our one prom dance. then the people in the crowd around us got a giant section of the pit to sit down while we were dancing so we could be the only ones standing and have our dance together alone! it was the most incredible thing i’ve ever seen. then we kissed and the crowd around us went crazy. and then vic noticed in the middle of the song and pointed us out in the crowd and said he had never seen anything like it before at any show and he sang the rest of the song to us. then he gave us another shout out and was like “give it up for that prom couple!” and for the rest of the night, people came up to us asking if we were “the prom couple” and giving us high fives and saying things like “fuck prom!” some people even got pictures with us. when all time low came on, they said that they had heard about the kids who skipped prom which means that ptv talked about us which is awesome! it was the best concert of my life and i know i will never forget it and hopefully the bands will remember it too!
