I worry a lot about a lot of things. Anxiety is often a close companion and it is easy to forget that it lies just as much as depression does. It's very easy for me to talk myself out of reaching out to friends I haven't heard from in a while because part of me worries that I'll be bothering them. It's easy to forget that they likely would just get joy out of the contact and be happy to hear from me.

I was thinking about this today because I got a DM from a friend I hadn't spoken with in a while. She wanted to share some songs with me that she'd recently discovered and thought I would love. And she was right, I did love them. There is something so incredibly powerful in feeling seen and loved. And so often all it takes is to share something with someone you love that made you think of them.

So here's a little reminder to go ahead and reach out. Tag your friends when you see stuff you think they'll love. DM, text, email, or call (depending on your tolerance for various forms of communication) them and share little moments with them. Sometimes it's those little moments that remind us we aren't as alone as we think.

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.

new reason to stay alive: outlive the trump presidency. In fact, outlive Trump. He isn’t immortal. We can live to see the day he's guaranteed to never be in office ever again and we can make sure he knows that he'll never have enough power to kill you

stay strong, friends, this isn't your fault

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Do you block people in the same fandom as you just because you don't like their takes?

literally so embarrassing to have someone go "i don't go here" or "what's this from?" on my art and it's a rarepair/crackship that is in no way representative of the source material... and i have to be like. well you see, the rest of the restaurant's menu is not like this. i'm doing my own thing eating black olives right out of the can in the back-of-house. whether or not you want me to throw you a can, you have to understand that's not what they serve out front

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?
