RIP: Andy Griffith, at 86: Television icon Andy Griffith, best known as Sheriff Andy Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show and country lawyer Ben Matlock on Matlock, died early this morning. He was 86.
Here are Griffith’s reflections on aging:
You know when you’re young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile, you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future.

Κάθομαι εδώ κρατώντας πίσω δάκρυα. Μνήμες από εμάς σπεύδουν στην επιφάνεια και έχω κατά μείνει αίσθημα κρύου και άδειο. Δεν είμαστε φυσικά μαζί και είμαι ευγνώμων για αυτό. Αν ήταν εδώ ο πόνος θα ήταν πολύ σε γυμνό. Δεν θα μπορούσα να σας κοιτάξω στα μάτια και να δούμε τον πόνο που έχω να αφήσουν πίσω τους. Λυπάμαι για όλα όσα έχω κάνει ποτέ. Θέλω απλά να ξέρεις ότι υπάρχει ένα μέρος στην καρδιά μου που έμεινε κενή όταν χωρίσαμε. Δεν θέλησα ποτέ εσείς να φύγετε. Ήθελα εσείς να μείνω για πάντα στο πλευρό μου. Σ ‘αγαπώ ακόμα. Ακόμη και σε αυτήν την ημέρα, ακόμα σ ‘αγαπώ και εγώ κατά πάσα πιθανότητα πάντα θα. Σ ‘αγαπώ, σας ηλίθιος βάτραχος.
Please read this if you are depressed, have suicidal thoughts, self harm, want to kill yourself or anything along those lines.
I follow a few blogs on here that address the issue of self-harm and suicide, and I read a lot of the things they post. Mostly I read the questions and comments people make. I’ve read things like ‘I want to die’, ‘No one understands’, ‘I don’t want to live anymore’. I’ve read stories from people, some of them uplifting because they have recovered, others hurtful because of the issues they are going through.
Let me tell you something. My name is Olivia. I am 19 years old. I live in the USA in the state of Florida. I have been cutting since I was 13 years old. I’m going to tell you the reason I started cutting so you will understand: My first love was a huge disaster. He left me for another girl. Six months later, I found out the girl was pregnant; ON MY BIRTHDAY. My grandfather had passed away the day before my birthday the previous year. Having my grandfather gone and the hopes of my ex ever coming back crushed, I turned to cutting.
The decision I made to start cutting was the worst decision I have ever made. Cutting has ruined my relationships. It has strained my family. It cost me years of my life that I can never get back.
Cutting and self harm in general are an addiction. An addiction that is hard to break, I know how that is. About six months ago, I had recovered. I hadn’t touched a razor blade in over a year. Something happened and I put a razor blade to my arm. I thought ‘One cut won’t hurt’, but it did hurt. I relapsed. I reverted right back and threw away all of my progress. At the time I didn’t really care, I thought ‘Oh well it doesn’t really matter – I don’t really matter’, but I was wrong.
It does matter! I do matter! YOU MATTER!
Right now at this very moment I am crying my eyes about because of the things that I am reading. I am so hurt because of things that people have gone through. So many people want to kill themselves. So many people want to end their lives. So many people feel alone and I hate it! I want you all to know that you are not alone!
There is someone out there who understands you! I don’t care if you are male or female. I don’t care if you are black or white. I don’t care if your straight, bisexual, lesbian, gay or transgender. YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING! There are people who love you and care for you. There are people who understand you. There are people who will listen to you and talk to you. You have friends. You have family, even if they aren’t blood or you’ve never met them before in your life.
YOU DESERVE TO LIVE! YOU DESERVE TO LOVE! You do not deserve pain. You do not deserve emptiness. You do not deserve to be alone. You deserve to be loved and love. You deserve to live your life fully and until you are naturally taken from this world. You deserve to be happy! YOU FUCKING DESERVE IT! YOU HEAR ME! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DON’T DESERVE THE BULLSHIT! YOU DON’T DESERVE THIS CRAP! YOU DESERVE LIFE!!!!
Please talk to someone. Please talk to me. I’m always answering questions and talk to people. I’m on as much as I can. Please? I’m here to listen and give advice. Don’t kill yourself. Don’t harm yourself. Just talk to me. Talk to someone. Talk to anyone. Don’t die.
Moving to Tampa.
Sunday.
I just found out yesterday.
Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad.

”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this!
It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such asituation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world. THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.6] Number three is public restrooms.7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.———————————————————————————————————————————-POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow andarmpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told ourinstructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without usingmuch pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feellittle silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.——————————————————————————————————————————-FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/orpurse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may behiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.
REBLOG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS! Every woman/girl in the world MUST see this sometime in their life- read this a million times, so you’ll remember what to do if you’re in these circumstances. Better safe than sorry.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu7lwsOJZT1qc1gsio1_250.jpg)
