Venezuelans Are Struggling.

I hate how everyone seems to have such high expectations for me, but the second I want something a little out of the ordinary for my life they act like I've lost my mind....

Sigh.

Do you see it?

Can someone tell me

Why almost every wc fan on Tumblr is cheering on Croatia?? Like in general? Not just because their playing against Russia.

The smallest things will ruin the days of the people who have the most in life...

And yet, for the people with the least in life, it is the small things that will make their day.

Trichotillomania Struggles

- The constant worrying that you'll make yourself go bald.

- Confused why you starting pulling your hair out in the first place.

- Being in public (or even just by yourself) and resisting the urge to put your hands on your scalp.

- That awkward moment when someone catches you pulling.

- Stratigically planning hairstyles to hide possible bald spots.

- Wanting to go to the hair salon but having the constant fear that the person working with your hair will notice.

- Not pulling for a long period of time, and you realize you haven't pulled which makes you think of pulling and you suddenly do it with out thinking and you hate yourself.

- Intense feeling of guilt and hatred after pulling.

- Finally getting the courage to tell a doctor but them telling you they can't do anything about it.

- Sitting in class and fearing that the person behind you might be looking at your hair and knows.

- Not seeing/feeling any bald spots in a certain location, so subconsciously letting that be a reason why it will be okay if you pull more there.

- Getting ingrown hairs on your scalp

- Wanting nothing more some moments than to just yank all your hair out.

- Wanting to stop pulling, but remembering that you've been doing it since elementary school so maybe there is no hope?

- Writing that you have trich online and getting the feeling they'll assume you're some grotesque bald creature when you're not. You're just another sensational human with the tendency to pull your hair out.

- Hair is everywhere on the floor of your room and it is gross

- Disgusting yourself.

- Keeping it a secret from everyone.

- Feeling embarrassed at just the thought of it.

- Dreaming about life without it.

- Nobody seems to understand.

- 'Why can't I stop??????'

- 'I hate my hair.'

- Seeing photos of bad trich cases online and fear that that will be you someday.

- Family or friends (who know) tell you to stop and you dont know how to respond because you've been telling yourself to stop ever since you've started and it's not that easy.

- Wanting someone to talk to about it but also not wanting to talk about it.

-Not knowing how to stop.

I mean, it could be worse. At least we're alive.

Lacrosse is the most sexist sport. Fight me about it.

PLEASE READ. WE GOT TO GET THIS CONVERSATION ROLLING.

When I say lacrosse one of two different sports must pop into your head. And I do mean two DIFFERENT sports.

Men's Lacrosse (implies exclusive to men)

Or

Women's Lacrosse (implies exclusive to women)

Although they look similar - wait, they don't even look similar - they are quite different.

The rules are different, the sticks are different, and the protective equipment are different. The rules alone being different is enough to determine that these are two separate types of games.

This would be perfectly fine and all if the names didn't automatic segregate by sex.

When a girl says, "I play lacrosse," you picture a complete different thing than when a guy says the same thing.

If a girl plays lacrosse it will always be implied she's playing women's lacrosse.

If a boy says he's playing lacrosse it will always be implied he's playing men's lacrosse.

Sure, there are those rare exceptions, such as a girl who plays on a men's lacrosse team or vice versa, but it shouldn't have to be that way. It shouldn't have to be considered an exception.

Girls and guys are discouraged from playing "the other gender's" lacrosse just because of the name.

No other sport does this (at least not to such a drastic extent (think ice hockey)).

If a girl says she's playing football, she's playing football.

If a boy says he's playing softball, he's playing softball.

For softball and football, society is who determines wether it is a "men's sport" or a "women's sport," not the fucking name. Even then, at least women are still welcomed to play on a women's league and guys are welcomed to play softball on a men's league.

The same cannot be said about lacrosse.

Don't get me wrong, I think both men's and women's lacrosse are great sports. I'm not saying we should get rid of one or the other. All I want to propose is a name change. That single change could solve this whole problem despite how challenging it may seem.

Call the sports different names because that is what they deserve.

Finally, not to be cliche, but it's 2018 (almost 2019!) so doesn't this whole men's/women's thing seem a bit old fashioned? Plus what if you're non-binary? Then are you welcomed to choose? Or are you just not welcomed to any?

Sports are fun and should never be limited to any single group of people as long as there is a means to play.
