To the eyes unseen

suicideisnotanoption4u:

8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. 

That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia. 
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children. 
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable. 

As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”

Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”

Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.

Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”

I salute Sergeant Briggs!

WHOSE BUTT IS THIS? 

I thought it was Jeremy Renner’s then someone else posted it as Tom Hiddleston’s and I just saw that it belonged to Jensen?? EXPLAIN.

I AM IN THE SPN FANDOM

I KNOW THAT ASS

I KNOW THAT BLACK WATCH

THAT IS JENSEN ACKLES BOOTY

ghurl thats tom hiddlestons butt

same plain black shirt and watch

that my good friend, is jensen’s ass

good day

I did a thing to help us

it’s Josh Hutcherson’s butt….

its my butt

OKAY UPDATE:

I searched google by uploading the image and all the results were tied between JENSEN ACKLES AND JEREMY RENNER.

And almost every single one of the articles said they’re weren’t sure who’s butt it actually is.

The people that say it’s jeremy’s said they’re pretty sure it’s not his, and even the jensen ackle’s people can’t say for sure either.

There is no original poster i could not find a full picture.

We have nothing to go on except the evidence before our eyes.

Ladies and gentleman, before me are two pictures. Only one of these is the mystery butt.

look at the watch though it’s totally Ackles booty

If you actually pay attention to the rest of the body, you’ll see that Renner’s arms are more muscular and have a vein popping out. Jensen’s elbows are softer and his arms are thinner, making the booty in the picture actually the property of Jensen Ackles.

You’re welcome.

Love, the Sherlock Fandom.

Welome to tumblr, where the fandoms help each other and we discuss butts.

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room’s only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.


She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.
‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .’

The origin of this letter is unknown, but please pass it on.

omg they are so offended if you lick them back. 

Fun fact! Dogs lick the mouths of those they consider higher in rank! So if you lick them back, they are not offended, they just don’t see themselves as higher than you and they are confused! The second dog must be a very loyal dog because he or she literally refuses to be licked back haha! I love dogs.

i started reading that expecting an angry rant and it turned out to be one of the nicest things ever.

I have reblogged this like ten times

I couldn’t decide what antagonist/ghost I liked most, actually!  However, I love revelation stories as well as on-the-run ones, so Reality Trip is my favorite episode and we have Freakshow to thank for it.  Therefore I made this for him uvu/  Sorry’s kinda lazily done, I had to go to dinner with my family q w q

“Look at you, what are you? A ghost interfering with humans? Or some creepy little boy with creepy little powers?”

“Both! Neither! I don’t know.”

“You’re a freak! Not a ghost, not a boy. Who cares about thing like you?”

Actually Spectra isn’t my fave ghost (does anyone remember that old cutie king ghost in Vlad’s manson hmm?) but she’s my favourite villain. Evil psychologist ftw

Touch anyone Sherlock cares about, and he’ll give more than a damn.
