Speak it into existence.

A better situation

A healthier, more peaceful, positive situation.

A more prosperous and abundant situation.

Other Resource Lists 

(While I tried to include the most helpful resources I could here (i.e., resources that lend themselves to one-on-one communication, individual reading, etc.), there are plenty of other great resources, including regional resources, listed in these links. Some of the resources are specific to men and others aren’t, but they are all helpful for male survivors.)

**Male Survivor (regional, international, and online resources)

**Husband Battering: Men and Domestic Violence

**Help for Battered Men: National and International Resources

This is awesome! POCs are frequently told that they don’t have a place in the professional ballet community, and I love this because they’re just like, “we look better en pointe than you!”

*I imagine them chanting that in a wonderful singsong quality*

Honestly heart eyes right now

College is not for everyone.
College is not for everyone.
College is not for everyone.

College may not be for me.

College may not be, but education is.

Education definitely is

Education is for everybody.
College is one means of getting said education.

I want to give this entire post a hug
