art, self compassion

"if you're a creator and you needed to hear this today:"

adhd, guilt

"how do u tell the difference between executive dysfunction, procrastination, and laziness bc fuck idk how to"

self compassion, socialization

"i think a lot about that fruits basket story where the onigiri (rice ball) thinks its plain and and bad with nothing special about it
but everyone else actually admires it because of the delicious plum on its back that it cant see"

survivorship bias

"you ever think about how old people have no idea what "survivor bias" is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?"

society

" 'kids there days have it easy' thats the point thats the point thats the whole point we're here to make it better for whoever comes after you"

survivorship bias, lgbt

"whenever i see people talking about the "skyrocketing" rates of people saying that they're trans, i think of this chart. they used to punish children for being left-handed and force them to write with their right hand"

socialization, mental health

"im here if you need someone to talk to"

extra post today: flower (dandelion) crown

self compassion, body

"you call yourself ugly but you've only seen yourself when you look at the mirror"

socialization, mental health

"one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing i have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstruous ways."

lgbt, relationships, socialization, abuse, self worth

"i think something that doesnt get talked about enough is the way that being gay can put you in more dangerous situations with relationships. so many times gay people are just happy that someone is interested in them that there isnt as much consideration of if that person is good for them, because hey, at least they're gay too and that worries me a lot"

[admin note: this extends to not only queer relationships but also many other circumstances including but not limited to physical disabilities and mental illness]

parenting, abuse, socialization

"i seen a video of a mom saying she doesnt hit or yell at her child because she thinks about the future and if she hits and yells at her because she "lover her and wants to correct her behavior" then what will she tolerate from a partner?"

self compassion, mental health, socialization

"your peace is more important than proving your point"

minorities, discrimination, society

"white privilege doesnt mean your life hasnt been hard;

it means that your skin color isnt one of the things making it harder"

socialization

"sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you dont respect me i wont respect you" and they mean "if you wont treat me like an authority i wont treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they arent, and its not okay"

socialization, mental illness

"just gonna say this: if someone has social anxiety and they ask you something akin to 'are you mad at me' or 'do you hate me', it isnt because they dont trust you, its because their brain literally tells them that all the time"

mental health

"every person is different.
therefore, our burnouts are different, too

some need fresh air to recover
others need to be indoors

some need others
while others like to be alone

some seek professional options
while others confer within themselves

your burnout is unique
so your solution will be, too

take time to understand yourself and soon you'll find your way

burnout is a real thing, so please take care of your mental health"

self compassion

"in a society that profits from self doubt, loving yourself is a rebellious act"

unscheduled post
due to unfortunate health circumstances, this channel will be paused, as admin is having a hard enough time surviving now, and will keep like that for an unknown amount of time

the health circumstance is physical in nature and is not something concerning, just very very inconvenient. it will pass, and this channel will go back to posting, but it is yet unknown when that will be

as of now, there is only one more scheduled post for this channel: tomorrow's post. after that, the hiatus will begin

be well, and take care of yourself

self compassion, socialization

"people are saying nice things about you behind your back"

a link to a good resource amidst the lack of posts
