As you could probably tell, Together We Save as been in quite a bit of a… ‘Hiatus’ lately.
I could not be any more sorry, and I could not feel worse, but to be completely honest, I’ve been pretty beat down lately.
I’ve been stuck, and it’s getting to me a lot. I am a firm believer in ‘if you aren’t okay, you shouldn’t be helping others who aren’t okay and you should focus on being okay’, and lately, I haven’t been okay.
I will be okay, and so will you, but I want you to know that I haven’t forgotten about any of you and I think about you all every day.
Emotionally, I’ve almost hit a few relapses, but I’ve battled them off. When I get like this, unlike most, I become incredible self-aware and I don’t like to talk to people about what’s going on in my head. I like to figure it out on my own, unless I’m sure that I can’t.
It’s not fair to you, I know, but at the same time, TWS is not going where I intended it to go. In fact, it’s doing the complete opposite.
I didn’t want it to be a ‘sit in my room on my blog all day’ thing, I wanted it to be a ‘make encouraging videos’ or ‘do speeches at high schools’ kind of thing. Unfortunately, it’s doing the ladder of the two, and it’s really emotionally draining, especially since I’m beginning to no longer enjoy logging in to this blog anymore.
I didn’t want it to just be some happy blog on Tumblr, I wanted it to be so much more. I wanted to travel with it.
So, I apologize to any of you that have felt ignored, unheard, or hurt because of my absence of this blog.
I just don’t want you guys to think I’ve quit, or given up on you. I promised you I wont, and I am keeping that promise. I just need to figure my life out and remember why I started this in the first place. Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out. :)
Thank you for reading,
Shelby Blevins.
(PS. Kat and Chelsea haven’t forgotten either. They’ve just been absolutely swamped with life, and school, and work. <3 They love you guys)
“I just want the Sacred Heart people on here to know that my brother Dominic Sheahan-Stahl was supposed to be the keynote speaker at my graduation, and today ,three weeks before he was supposed to give the speach he was informed that Denni Starnes (school principal) will not let him speak because he is GAY!!!!!……he already wrote the speach, and bought his plane ticket to come home a week before he was going to, to give this speech.”
-Willi Sheahan-Stahl
the Sheahan-Stahl family has been a prominent part of the Mt. Pleasant, MI community, and their kids have all attended Sacred Heart Academy. This is a message of intolerance and homophobia, and is a disgrace to the name of the school. This is wrong, and should not be allowed. Stop the promotion of homophobic bigotry in schools!

Anonymous asked: ...what else will trigger me. Yes, I've been physically abused and I am aware that this probably fucked me up in some way...but it scares me that I am that out of control of myself...I don't know what to do. This is the first time I've had a panic attack without being mistreated first. The others have been a result of abuse. Do I need therapy or something? What do you think... Thank you xox I think that panic attacks are not just resulting from immediate abuse, but from deep-rooted issues. What are you usually thinking about or doing when you get them? Sometimes, when you have control issues, it’s good to start with little things that make you feel more in charge of your life. Even if it’s just doing something creative, it’ll stimulate your brain and also keep your mind off of everything. |

Anonymous asked: I was in the kitchen eating dinner when I could have sworn the lights were dimming but it was real fast and then it would go back to it's normal brightness. It happened in the bathroom and the hallway. My mom doesn't notice it. My mom said that the electric went out earlier. Could it just be the electricity? Am I going crazy? Is something wrong with my eyes? Could it be a symptom of anxiety? If this persists, I would see a doctor. It could be many different things, but I’m not qualified to make any medical assumptions. Anxiety can manifest itself in many ways, but keep an eye on it. It could even be fatigue. If it worsens or persists, tell your mom to get you looked at by a doctor. Keep tabs on how you’re feeling emotionally when it’s happening, too. |
