Please sponsor my run for Mind!

Hey guys! I haven’t posted on here much recently because I’ve been spending most of my free time training. For what exactly, you may ask?

On 12th June 2016 I will be running the London 5K Colour Run! This will be my first proper run, and along with two of my close friends, I am raising money for Mind, the mental health charity!

I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and Mind is one of the best charities in the UK for mental health, so I really want to help others likes me and give back to them for all that they did for me. 

So please, it doesn’t have to be much, I really don’t want to be asking this but its all for such a good cause - if you could, I would appreciate it so much for you to donate as much as you like :)

Because when I was 13 years old, I was sent home for my tank top straps being a little too thin, but a boy could wear a Cool Story babe, Go Make Me A Sandwich shirt and not be looked at twice.

Because when I was 17 and I told a guy “No” and the next day the word tease was painted on my locker.

Because when I was 18 and just wanted to be friends, I was a bitch.

Because I feel the need to say “I have a boyfriend” instead of “No” because guys respect other men more than they would ever respect me.

Because society screams “don’t get raped” instead of “don’t rape”

Because I am scared to walk alone at 10 PM

Because being beautiful is the most important thing I’ll ever do.

Because when I wear my favorite skirt “I’m asking for it”

Because the song Blurred Lines exists

Because no means no no matter how you fucking spin it

Because a girl was drugged and raped with a beer bottle, and the boys who did it are out on bail.
Because I owe you nothing

Because pepper spray is a gift I receive yearly.

Because I am asked if I have a boyfriend more than I am asked about my mental health

Because my clothes say more about my consent then my mouth does.

Because the wage gap exists

Because “not all men are like that” is said way too often

ENOUGH ARE

Because I feel the need to say “I’m not a feminist but…”

Because I’m writing this fucking piece

When you ask why I’m angry? (via brennanat)
