You have a problem; I have an answer and it’ll always be relationship with Jesus. Not guilt. Not shame. Not condemnation. And I’ll just keep saying the same thing over and over and over.
Other people’s successes are not a benchmark to which you should measure your own self worth and productivity. Your life should not be a place for comparison, self doubt and destruction. Your life is yours. It expands with every act of self love. Every surge of courage and kindness and every breath of pure self belief. Breathe in. Remind yourself of your own phenomenal light and continue peacefully into all that lies ahead of you.

Read this one when I stayed with my Aunty one winter. Absolutely beautiful book, had me hooked right to the end. Tears were shed! 10/10!!! I definitely recommend
Today’s @bibliophilicwitch’s Tomes and Tea features this gorgeous book and my new bee socks 🐝
PLEASE stop telling me to release my inhibitions! mine were raised in captivity and would not survive in the wild :^(
This story is so good i hate waiting for updates.
I woke up inside the world of one of the best selling fantasy book series “Deadly Crown.” Intrigue, handsome heroes, adventure… sounds great, right? Just one problem: all the named characters except the main hero and villain die, are replaced and their replacements die. Being important in this story is a death sentence, so I plan to move to the middle of nowhere, and avoid the plot!
It should be a fool proof plan, so why do the main characters keep dragging me into the story?
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6

and Ao3!

okay but the screenwriter for Thor: Ragnarok is obviously intimately aware of what it’s like to have siblings because like…the snake scene? Bickering at every opportunity? Throwing things at each other for no real reason? “You know this guy?” “I have no idea who this person is”? Smirking when your sibling does something cool because ‘nothing but respect for MY sibling’ and then turning around and punching each other in the face right afterward? Stabbing each other for fun and then going ‘oh come on you big baby, that didn’t even hurt’? The fucking ‘Get Help’ scene? Like bruh…that is some Truth in Hollywood right there
The whole point of the Christian life is not to say, “I am so good because I have God.” Rather, it is to say, “I am no good, therefore I need God.” Pride does not help the believer, it hinders them. A humble heart that knows it can do nothing without God’s grace is the one that He uses most for His glory. Could you imagine if God only used people who have their lives together? Can anyone relate to that? No. Those with the greatest sin know God’s grace more than anyone else. Those with the greatest pain know God’s love more than anyone else. The people He uses throughout the Word are deeply flawed, but greatly redeemed. They are people who laid down their pride and humbled themselves before Him. He uses the weak, because their lives are a platform to show how His strength can come through. I am thankful for that because quite frankly, I can relate to those people so much more.
Aww

One joy of having older brothers!
Wow so this happened way back. I’m talking almost 10 years ago when I was 13/14. Long story short, this boy in my year showed interest in me, he was this loud mouthed, cocky, obnoxious arsehole and I was quiet asf. It took me a long time to even pick up on the fact that he fancied me, and when I realized, I knew I didn’t find him attractive in any way.
So, it seemed he picked up on this, and instantly turned from showing interest, to being an absolute, 100% bully towards me. Picking up on how quiet he was, for months he ripped into the way I dressed (early teens goth phase ftw), that I was stupid, and it eventually got into darker territory.
(long story short, he picked up on the fact that I self harmed and mocked me badly about it, getting his follower, spinless mates to join in. Trying to pull my sleeves up during class etc. Rough time.)
Anyway, I never thought about the fact that I have two older, HUGE brothers. I never told anyone about this issue, let alone them. Deep down I knew they’d throttle the scrawny fuck, so maybe that’s why.
Well, one day, months into this daily shit, my second oldest brother visited from uni, picked me up and drove me around, catching up. He used to go to my school but left just as I began. He asked what was up, noticed I seemed quiet than usual. I broke down slightly mentioning about this arsehole I was dealing with. Kind of gave him the light version, as not to anger him too much.
…Too late.
My brother was silent, and just nodded. He said, “I’ll take care of it.” and we enjoyed the rest of the day as if nothing happened, I felt comforted.
That night, my bro says, “Ha, guess who I had a talk with on the phone?” Turns out, he somehow found the boy’s home number. He called him up, threatened to break his jaw. The scared little rat started to get ballsey, shouting back in his barely-broken voice. He even tried to make fun of my brother for having a prothestic leg, he must’ve heard about it through school. (something that’s never held him back or even bothered him for a second.)
Did I mention my brother was/is a gym freak? Despite his prosthetic, he was huge. Very largely built, big beard, aggressive-looking, the lot. Bully had never actually seen him before.
So, the next day, brother says, “Forget the bus, I’ll drive you into school, we’ll get a Mcdonalds on the way.” (he was very good to me)
We drive up, and he jumps out as he spots his old gym teacher. I’m standing beside them both as they catch up over old time’s sake. Two HUGE guys, arms folded, chatting away. As I’m standing next to my bro, who walks out from the bus?
The scrawny little loud mouth fuck. He struts down the path toward school, sees me and smirks. His eyes then lifts towards my brother and I see him skip in his step, his eyes bulging with fucking shit-scared fear when he realizes that this was the dude he tried to shit-talk on the phone.
I remember smiling at the boy, feeling my eyes glistening with glee. I lifted my arm to tap my brother’s shoulder, and I saw the boy pause in actual fear.
I let my brother know I’m heading in now, he gives me a gentle shoulder punch and tells me to have a good day.
That split second of pure dread and terror on that little cunt’s face was more than enough for me. If i’d let my brother know who he was, there’d be chaos. He’d have actually had him up against the wall by the scruff, no doubt. And I didn’t want my brother in trouble.
Since that day…he stayed the ever loving fuck away from me. No eye contact, head down to the ground. Beautiful.
Love ya’, bro. (source)

In the heat of battle, photographer Horace Bristol captured one of the most unique and erotic photos of WWII.
Bristol photographed a young crewman of a US Navy “Dumbo” PBY rescue mission, manning his gun after having stripped naked and jumped into the water of Rabaul Harbor to rescue a badly burned Marine pilot. The Marine was shot down while bombing the Japanese-held fortress of Rabaul.
“…we got a call to pick up an airman who was down in the Bay. The Japanese were shooting at him from the island, and when they saw us they started shooting at us. The man who was shot down was temporarily blinded, so one of our crew stripped off his clothes and jumped in to bring him aboard. He couldn’t have swum very well wearing his boots and clothes. As soon as we could, we took off. We weren’t waiting around for anybody to put on formal clothes. We were being shot at and wanted to get the hell out of there. The naked man got back into his position at his gun in the blister of the plane.”

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.
