Please don’t compare yourself to other people. What are you comparing anyway? You are not clones, you do not have the same lived experiences and you likely do not have all the same wants and needs anyway. Someone else’s dream life may not be the right for you. Your dreamlife might not be theirs. The important thing is enjoying where you are, and looking forward to where you are going. The important thing is living a life you enjoy. A life that is authentic to you. People measure succes differently, society definition might not be the same as yours, and that is okay. It’s your life. Choose what is authentic for you. Not for your friends, not for your family and not for whatever you see online. What brings you joy? What brings you peace? Where do you feel the most you? Do you like where you are for you? These are the important questions, not what the person next to you is doing. 🌸

i hope this reaches the target audience:

hold on for one more night, one more day. appreciate all the little things keeping you connected to the world. tell yourself the end can wait one more day. see how you feel tomorrow. see if you can keep going a while longer.

Get over the fear of being seen.

Stop caring about how you’re gonna be perceived. Stop doubting yourself. Stop aiming to be perfect. Stop ruminating.

Accept who you are. Hype yourself. Invest in yourself. Be audacious. Trust in the greater outcome. Allow yourself to be seen as you are.

Me, watching my kitten hold still for a suspiciously long time: Ollie, are you peeing on my floor?

Ollie: Not

Me: Are you sure?

Ollie, grunting through time and space to push out a chocolate mcmuffin wider than he is tall: Not

5 things i wish i could tell myself a year ago:

don’t give up on your dreams

getting to where you want to be takes time, but that time is worth it

you deserve better, and there is better out there

don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone while you’re trying to find your place in this world

don’t forget that you deserve love without having to earn it

This is my favorite thing in our apartment.

My partner and I have this feelings poster next to our front door. Our friends are now conditioned to put a post-it with their name on their current emotion as soon as they arrive.

you've all gotta stop acting like "overweight" is a gentle PC alternative for the word fat and not itself an assertion of the ontological wrongness of being large. Over What Weight Precisely

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Body positivity is a step in the right direction for some people's recovery but the absolute number one thing that helped me was immersing myself in fat liberation. Starving was so much less appealing when I started to understand and believe that food and weight and being fat is morally neutral. It is possible and perfectly ok to be happy and fat. I'm thriving and I'm the heaviest I've been in years. I promise it's ok.
