I don't want to be sad anymore.

If others (and I) can cry in public, I can also dance in public 🌸

humans are meant to eat together…. sharing a meal…… preparing a feast together…. so much of american culture has like…. ruined all sense of community idk where im going with this but why are we not coming together for massive feasts unless someone gets married or dies. we should be sharing……… everything…….. why is everyone now so obsessed with being individually independent? i know the cause of all these problems is capitalism but it makes me sad that its gone so far that like…… u dont even ask ur neighbors for shit anymore. we dont trust our communities anymore. humans are meant to rely on each other but we’ve been convinced that the ultimate sign of success is not needing anyone but yourself. i love to need people. i love to be needed. we all do. why is it so unacceptable to need a community to thrive when humanity would have gotten nowhere if we didnt help each other

a wise woman once said, “you are capable of twice as much as you think and ten times as much as your mother thinks” and honestly i think about that a lot whenever a wave of doubt rushes over me telling me that i can’t do it. sometimes you just gotta look your doubt right in the eyes, stand up straight and say, watch me!

what if we drank green tea all day and denied ourselves basic human needs like eating... just kidding... ah ha ha... unless?

2020

To the people who think that they didn't do enough this year; that they should have exercised more, eaten more healthy,  made more money, read more books, took on more tasks.

You did enough!

Some of you lost your job this year, some haven't seen their family for months, maybe even lost loved ones, had to home school their kids, or didn't get to graduate, went through breakups, depression and so much more.

And even if you feel like there isn't anything that effected in those extends. You still lived through a fucking pandemic, you survived every single one of the 365 days this year. You kept going when you felt sad, lonely and hopeless, when the world felt like it was crashing down.

And if that is not one hell of an accomplishment then I don't know what is. You did enough. You survived. I am proud of you.

I recently became inspired to write this tip list. TW: Abuse

If you are living with an abusive person (be it a spouse, sibling, cousin, roommate, or partner, and whether it is physical or verbal or whatever), here’s some tips.

1. If the person demands you isolate yourself by deleting things like facebook, tumblr, etc, here’s a tip: Do it, and let them watch you delete it. Then, make a new one and download ccleaner.com. It looks like a regular spyware/adware/registry cleaner remover, and one helpful aspect is it deletes history permanently and basically makes it easier to cover your tracks.

2. This is something a relative of mine did; when they are gone, take out one of the base moldings of the wall. She took the whole thing out so the line from a cut wouldn’t be seen. She cut a low notch/alcove. She hid money, extra things like snacks, and other stuff in there. Eventually, she saved up money to get away. She would use wood glue to put it back to the wall and would pry it off again to fill it in with a shoehorn. Even if you don’t get away, this can be your cubby hole for resources.

3. That same relative hid a prepaid cellphone with contacts in it to make infrequent calls and kept the phone off when hidden away.

4. I am not complete in compiling the survival guide stuff, but here is a copy of First Aid for Everyone in case you cannot go to the hospital for any reason.

REBLOG WIDELY and feel free to share and add on pieces of advice, please.

be kind. be ridiculously, radically, endlessly kind. be a part of someone’s good day. send nice thoughts, send positive vibes, send support and love and well wishes. be kind. so often we wish for tomorrow to be a good day when we are at our lowest. some sort of sign that it gets better. be a part of that better day for someone. the world does not magically decide that it will be softer on you today, tomorrow, the next day. and sometimes it starts with a message from someone else, maybe a little bit of inner strength to pull yourself up and take a shower, maybe a bit of sunlight makes the day better. but it’s these small things, these soft things that make a day better. so be kind. don’t ever think about being anything other than kind. be a part of someone’s good day because you don’t know how desperate they might be for it.

if you have cried, felt alone, had your depression/anxiety worsen, and/or struggled to stay afloat without the support you deserve this year, then I pray that this last month blesses you with the light and strength you need to continue to push forward and not give up hope for a better tomorrow. may the upcoming new year bring much happiness, positivity, love, and growth to your life and may you never go by another minute without remembering just how resilient and beautiful you are. it may not seem like it right now, but good things are headed your way and you will feel warmth in your heart again.
