Hey Tumblr. You can save someone’s life by answering their texts.

You’ve already been sharing your stories with each other through Post It Forward, and you’ve built an amazing, supportive community around those stories. Now here’s your chance to put your empathy to work and master the skills it takes to be a crisis counselor. 

Dozens of Tumblr users are currently in training and Crisis Text Line is eager for more awesome volunteers to be a part of their 2015 Tumblr Corps, lending support to texters who are dealing with a wide range of issues. If you’ve got a computer and a kind heart, apply here. You must live in the United States and be over 18.

Deadline is Nov. 17! Don’t delay!  

The sad truth is there will be some people who will only be there for you as long as you have something they need. When you no longer serve a purpose for them, they will leave. The good news is, if you tough it out, you’ll eventually weed these people out of your life and be left with some great people you can count on. We rarely lose friends, we just gradually figure put who are real ones are.
