I’ll be honest, for as many years at I’ve seen October art/writing challenges (and art challenges the rest of the weeks/months of the year), I’ve only attempted a few and never finished any.

That being said, I think what I’m going to do for my umpteenth attempt this new October is to just.. do. Just do something every day. Any challenge, any prompt, any event, even if it’s mixed and mismatched. Doesn’t matter if it’s finished, though I will try for it. A few well-typed sentences, a sketched drawing, an unfinished study, I’ll still label them a success. I want my goal for this month to be to make improvements in my art and passions and to make an effort. Not bogged down by perfectionism or despair or lack of motivation or whatever else may stop me. I want to make the challenge of this month for me to live my life thoughtfully and love and respect what I bring into it again.

I’m so pale and sick looking and I hate it. All I do is try to look normal (other than wanting to be skinny.) My dad asked if I was high when he saw my red eyes and pale skin.

I know for a lot of ana, this is the look they go for, but I do everything I can to hide it. I usually have fake tan or try to tan, makeup to make my eyes pop, and try to take care of my falling out hair as best as I can. I drink my water and take my meds.

I don’t want to hear the rexies saying that im not fully devoted to my disorder if i dont want my hair to fall and to loose my bust. I am just as sick as the rest of you, I just don’t want to look like the conventional ana.

✨️New Year Resolution✨️: stop. obsessing. over. fictional. men

Me on the 1st of the year: Who am I kidding?

[wonyoungsupremacy]

I swear to god I will lose this weight, nothing can stop me this year!!! I'm tired of having an L or M I just wanna have a body like Wonyoung's and be a living doll just like her.

I just hate when my family tells me I'm great just the way I am because I'm not satisfied at all.

I wish they'd encourage me into losing weight instead of telling me I'm okay...

You know what I mean right? ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

Let's do it, this will be our year!!!!! (☞ ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)☞

New Year’s resolutions are penny-ante prayers.

New Year’s resolutions are penny-ante prayers. You are this way, but you hope to be that way. You used to want this, but now you want that. The assumption behind resolutions is that something must be corrected and improved. One vows to be better than one was the year before.

Part of the nature of resolutions, particularly for those of us north of 60, has to do not only with the new year before us, but also with time already spent, or misspent. We reflect on the years we’ve lived, on the past resolutions made and broken. Another New Year’s Eve come and gone. Every time the ball drops, the heart sinks. You are running out of time, and time is what we value most. […]

Thus there is always a melancholic desperation and urgency when we shout, “Happy New Year!” Will this new year, in fact, be any better than the last? We resolve that it will. We resolve to be fitter, healthier, cleverer, richer, more successful, more popular, more productive, better dressed, happier. And so restarts the whole vain, foolish, inevitably disappointing cycle.

The trouble with all such self-oriented promises is that they deal in chicken feed. What does the great wide world care if you lose weight, or work out, or work harder, or quit drinking or smoking? Quit smoking or smoke three packs a day. Work out daily or let yourself go. It’s your choice, your life. Your little life. Meanwhile, the world — the whole tortured, self-destructive, polarized, endangered, extraordinary world — spins on. […]

If you’re looking for a worthwhile resolution…we can start small.

Personally, I vow that I will frequently visit a children’s hospital and try to distract kids with stories, the funnier the better. I vow that I will phone every lonely person I know — and there are plenty — at least twice a week, just to chat and make them feel part of the living world. I vow to give alms to everyone who asks, and to those who don’t, and to stand up for the stupid and crazy, the stupider and crazier, the better. I promise to keep an eye out for strays (cats, dogs and people) and bring them safety and comfort. I vow to see every wrong as a menace, every wound an opportunity.

What will you do — right now, this week, this month — to make a better world? Stage a protest. Send a letter to right a wrong, or to proffer friendship. (A thoughtful, sympathetic letter to a friend in sorrow or distress is a powerful thing.) Lend a hand. Offer a word of comfort or inspiration or support or love. Donate money or, most valuable of all, time. There are so many ways to move this world, right within reach.

The great beautiful irony of all this, of course, is that selflessness is not the opposite of self-improvement. Selflessness is self-improvement — the most meaningful and lasting kind.

Practice it, and you may just find that the new year is, in fact, a step up from the last. You may find that, all at once, you look and feel better than you would have after any amount of dieting or exercise. Unburdened of ego. Lighter on your feet. Say, haven’t you lost weight?

Practice it, and suddenly you will find that your little life has gotten big. Big life, grand life is like art. It is not done well unless the artist dreams expansively, ridiculously, by making a glorious Whitman-size fool of herself in seeking to enhance everything, cure every ill. Nothing less.

💋 mood lately

[if-not-now-tell-me-when]

my new years resolution is to eat more. as in eat more often because i'm terrible at knowing when i'm actually hungry. i often don't eat for 7 or 8 hours because i just don't feel hunger cues. then i eat an unhealthy amount of takeout or a huge bag of potato chips. so yeah! my resolution is to eat more! diet culture can go fuck itself!

[theirwolfbicanthrope]

so last year, I sort of made a resolution, in that I decided 'fuck it, I wanna learn to crochet' and guess what? I learned crochet basics, am still learning, and am starting to move forward towards, I guess, intermediate basics? I crocheted a beanie (complete with sewn on pom) for my mom and she genuinely likes it, some coasters, and I'm almost done with my first blanket.

this year, idk what my resolution is. I'm leaning towards learning to sew, but I also want to paint more, learn to solder, carve, sculpt, am interested in pottery - basically, I want to create and be creative. want to make art. want to make clothes. want to make props. want to make pretty things that makes my magpie brain go oooh. want to become more self reliant, more sustainable, and want to be able to support myself and my husband financially without the 9-5 grind that keeps me on constant burnout.

but trying to go all in never works, and generally leads towards failure. so this month I'll try to pin down something specific that, even if nothing else works out, this is a thing that I can keep at it with.

also if anyone would be interested in purchasing crochet coffin coasters lmk cause am considering making sets to try and sell.
