changing our lives and ourselves means goodbyes. it means letting go. it means abandoning, it means saying no to what you used to say yes, and vice-versa. you can't live the same life to change. 💘

i never want to contribute to toxic positivity so i want to acknowledge that sometimes things just suck and there isn’t a bright side. the best thing you can do in those times is take care of yourself as much as possible. maybe that means just brushing your teeth, drinking some water or calling up a friend. you don’t always have to be grateful for where you are in life. sometimes you have to get through some hard shit first, but i know that you’re capable of doing it.

in life, and when growing and developing yourself in this case, remember that “no” is as important as “yes.” we always make a lot of resolutions for new year and lists of what we want, but don’t forget to reflect on what you don’t want too

no screen time bigger than 4 hours per day. no neglecting your physical and mental needs. no addictions. no comparing yourself to others. no broken sleep schedule. no unhealthy eating everyday. no overworking. no messy bedroom. no self-isolation. no self-depreciation. no laziness. no toxic relationships. no spending days without stepping outside. no overthinking everything. no overconsumption.

seeing blessings in the mundane will quite literally change your life.

my friends joke that I've got "toxic positivity syndrome" because of how I perceive things that are usually taken for granted. it's hard to put me down because I'm so grateful and delighted by what's deemed small and trivial. but this outlook on life — which I don't think is toxic at all of course — has pretty much saved my spirit many many many times, and I think it's a behavior that could help a lot of people. including some of my friends lol

we desire and we hope and we pray for blessings to come, but what if blessings are already all around us and we're unable to see them? wouldn't that be the greatest curse of all? it would be like tuning out the Universe and all its power, to treat all the celestial energy that flows into your life like cassandra, who could foresee everything but was cursed to never be believed by anyone.

and I feel blessed in everyday life. everytime I can walk into the shower and choose whether I want cold or warm water, I feel blessed. everytime I feel pain and I can just take in a little circle of substances that make the pain go away in minutes, I feel blessed. when I can drink clean, cool water, I feel blessed. when I wake up and when I go to sleep on a warm, clean bed, I feel blessed.

and not just thankful, but actually blessed, actually like a miracle has happened to me. because none of these things that we're so used to, if we're lucky, are guarantees of life. and I'm not just talking about a contrast against the poor, the disenfranchised, I'm talking about all of humanity's history. just think of how long it took us to figure out problems like having clean water readily available, or not dying from the infection of a simple cut. it's nothing short of a miracle that we get to live the way we do.

and I'm not saying you shouldn't want for more than "the basics". I'm not saying you can't strive for riches, desire wealth, look forward to luxuries. I'm not saying you can't be upset at life just because you've got your basic needs met, either. but what I am saying is that so many, I mean so many people spend their entire lives frustrated, feeling unlucky and ignored, wanting and wanting but never praising what they have.

and I believe that changing the perspective on these small, trivial, mundane, basic aspects of the day-to-day can fill so many voids in us. it can make us feel so embraced by life, so prosperous! and it is a conscious choice we must make, a decision to have this point of view. I didn't always have this outlook on life, but I eventually chose to see these things as little miracles, and it completely shifted my mood, my disposition, and even my desires.

so take that as you will, but reflect on it a little. are you paying proper gratitude to what life has already given you, or are you just projecting onto the Universe that nothing will ever be enough? choose wisely. 💘

every little habit adds up, thank yourself, love yourself

Things I’m no longer apologizing for

My feelings

Having firm boundaries

Saying no to something

Being emotional or crying

Needing to take a break

Asking for clarity when I don’t understand

How other people behave

Changing and becoming better

Not agreeing with someone

Putting myself first

Letting go when I need to

Healing at my own pace

Please feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments ♥

Hi - don’t mean to intrude but thought I’d share - when I quit smoking, the best way I overcame that intense feeling of needing to smoke I would have a strong mint and then have a sip of cold water - helped a lot + made my breath better + encouraged me to drink more water! Kinda shocks it out of ur system <3 hope u have a lovely day xx

thanks for telling me because i actually forgot this technique existed!! i’ll do it right now because oh girl(boy/enby), i’m suffering a lot with cravings today. wishing you a lovely day too 💫💕

2 days nicotine-free and counting!

yes, nicotine-free because I’m not consuming nicotine in any form, i’m only sticking to kumbaya, exercise and meditation to help with abstinence. i’m extremely proud of myself, i never thought i could quit without nicotine gums or other forms of nicotine replacement!!

in my previous attempts to quit, by the second day i’d already start being dysfunctional and suicidal, but this time i’m actually happier and i have more mental energy to do stuff… or maybe it’s because i’m meditating for 1 hour everyday, but i want to believe that quitting smoking is also contributing to this, hehe

let’s gooooooooo 💫

as if it wasn’t enough to be an old male with a porn blog (the worst type on Tumblr), this fucking stupid brainrot is reblogging some of my posts saying depressing shit to people. i hope that blocking him also makes these reblogs disappear for everyone.

i’m sorry if you read what he said, he’s just a loser trying to get more people on his depressing side.
