#embrace your flaws

[queennnyyyjaneen]

I’m a mess. 😅

[lavenderdropp]

Rant because I'm fucking pissed.

I hate it when I am always being pointed out for my flaws. I know i have faults too and believe me I'd fix them by the time. I can reflect on my mistakes and know what I lack. I don't need people to criticize me for some I don't know to do.

I may not be the sportiest or physically active. Why? Because as a child when I was trying to fucking learn I was criticised and made fun off rather than motivated. Must be really funny. Look a girl isn't so active and messes up things. How funny. So, yes i suck many things and maybe a loser at many things. I wasn't good at studies as I am today. I was a child, ofc I didnt cared about it much then. I wasn't good at sports. I can barely have things I am good at and if you can't appreciate that or my efforts then shut the fuck up. I take time to learn things new to me, unlike some people who are naturally good at it and I've been through it from most of my childhood. Yes, everyone was better and I did felt bad.

Another thing that people have set a criteria for girls to be active and all if is someone not matches the criteria then they are seen as useless- tell me how useful are those people who've set this criteria? Well I honestly don't think that I can give a fuck about how hardworking were you in your childhood. I am my own person. If I can embrace my flaws then you are in no position to criticize them.

It's not only about me. I've seen many people like that. And I just want to say the same thing to them that people can go and suck it. Embrace yourself.

As I sit in silence, the flowers whisper through the strands of my hair, “you’re more than what your deepest mind tells you. Embrace your flaws and stay with us for a while.”

Unveiling Beauty Within

TW:SH 

 I found myself drenched in my own sorrows, realizing how flawed I was. I hated every aspect of my existence to such an extent that I even started despising the way I breathed, as if it pierced the blanket of silence. I detested my body for not fitting societal standards. I desperately yearned to see a perfect version of myself, but it was hard to believe I would ever attain it. I hated how my personality seemed to bother others, unable to connect with anyone. I felt like I was forcing people to spend their precious time with me. I simply felt lost and invisible, merely a body with flesh and bones, and a mind burdened with unhealed wounds. I loathed my inability to embrace my flawed self. I despised how I longed for a warm embrace from someone who would reassure me that my flaws are beautiful and it’s okay to have them. Unfortunately, that person has always been absent from my life, and I doubt I’ll ever find someone like that. I question if such an individual exists in this confusing world. I yearned to be like summer rain, extinguishing the raging fire of self-hatred within me. I wanted to find solace, healing, and to revisit the times when I never felt embarrassed by my flaws. Perhaps those flaws existed back then too, but I hardly noticed or despised them. I wish I could turn back time, to the moment I first realized I had flaws, and give myself the biggest, warmest hug, assuring myself that it’s okay to have imperfections before they became overwhelming. I wanted to realize that my flaws define me as well, that they don’t make me ugly, and that there are people out there who might accept and embrace them. I wanted my vulnerable self to understand that I deserve happiness and joy rather than scars, that I should paint my body with vibrant colors instead of painting it blood red . I yearned to fill my being with stars rather than complaining about the emptiness inside. Above all, I just wanted to love my soul instead of viewing it as wretched. My mind keeps urging me to embrace my younger self and express gratitude for persevering through hardships, to accept myself now instead of longing to go back in time and heal those flaws

The Power of Being Kind to Yourself: A Path towards True Happiness 

Shaina Tranquilino

September 14, 2023

In a world that often urges us to be kind and compassionate towards others, we tend to overlook an equally crucial aspect of kindness – being kind to ourselves. We are often our harshest critics, pushing ourselves relentlessly in pursuit of success while neglecting our own well-being. However, embracing self-kindness is not only essential for our personal growth but also for cultivating lasting happiness. Let's explore the transformative power of being kind to oneself.

1. Acknowledge Your Worth:

One fundamental step towards self-kindness is acknowledging your inherent worthiness as a human being. Often, we measure our value based on external achievements or societal expectations. Instead, remind yourself that you deserve love, compassion, and care simply because you exist. Embrace self-acceptance by appreciating your strengths, achievements, and unique qualities.

2. Practice Self-Compassion:

Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same warmth and understanding you would extend to a loved one facing challenges or setbacks. It means offering yourself support rather than judgment when things go wrong or when mistakes occur. By practicing self-compassion, you cultivate resilience and reduce negative self-talk, fostering a more positive mindset.

3. Prioritize Self-Care:

Taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being should be non-negotiable. Make self-care an integral part of your routine; prioritize activities that nourish your body and soul. Engage in hobbies you enjoy, spend time in nature, get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, exercise regularly, and practice mindfulness or meditation techniques to enhance your overall sense of well-being.

4. Set Realistic Expectations:

Setting unrealistic goals or constantly striving for perfection can lead to immense stress and disappointment if not achieved. Instead, set realistic expectations that align with your abilities and circumstances. Celebrate progress rather than fixating on perceived failures. By setting achievable goals, you'll experience a sense of accomplishment, boost your self-esteem, and nurture feelings of kindness towards yourself.

5. Cultivate Positive Self-Talk:

The words we use when speaking to ourselves can greatly impact our self-perception and well-being. Replace harsh self-criticism with positive affirmations and gentle encouragement. Challenge negative thoughts by questioning their validity or replacing them with more realistic perspectives. Be patient and forgiving with yourself as you navigate life's challenges, treating yourself like a trusted friend.

6. Surround Yourself with Supportive Relationships:

Surrounding yourself with people who uplift and inspire you is vital for fostering self-kindness. Seek out relationships that are built on love, understanding, and support rather than judgment or criticism. Genuine connections provide a nurturing environment where you can grow, learn from one another, and celebrate each other's successes.

Being kind to oneself is not an act of selfishness but rather a prerequisite for leading a fulfilling life. Embracing self-kindness allows us to cultivate inner peace, happiness, and resilience in the face of adversity. Remember, by prioritizing your own well-being through acts of self-compassion, acknowledging your worthiness, practicing self-care, setting realistic expectations, cultivating positive self-talk, and surrounding yourself with supportive relationships – you're empowering yourself to live authentically and embrace the joy that comes from within.

Some Wednesday evening fun. Stirring the pot a little with this one haha Men & Women r equal depending on opinion huh? See my new blog post for more...

Are Men and Women Equal in Society's Eyes?

[shayekidwrites]

Dear self/you,

"Every year is a new you. You would always wonder what that means. You would always seek for the answers. Every year is a new you. Do you hate the old you? Or do you miss the old you?"

Whatever answers you find in every changing year, know that the old you and the new you will always be a part of you. You don't have to choose a side to stay on. You just have to live in the present.

You don't need to chain yourself to the old you and keep trying to find your way back everytime you screw up. There's no way back, its just moving forward. Embrace all the baggages of the past and believe that all those baggages are simply weigh lighter every other day, if not already a ghost, because you've grown up from that little girl that you are yesterday.

You don't need to pressure yourself either to be the new you. Who's to say that your ideal "new you" is the best for you? I mean, instead of trying too hard to be the beautiful butterfly you wanted to be or you believe you must be, why not enjoy the process of turning into a butterfly? Live in the present while determine to aim your goal. I mean, eye on the goal, heart on the moment. No need to rush. Take one step at a time. What's important is you are moving forward.

I wish that this year you will give yourself the gift of enjoying the present. I hope you always find your way to loving yourself, all parts of you, the old, the new and yourselfyou everyday. 🥰

Yours truly,

Me, yourself 🥰

I don't know who needs to hear this, but any flaw you think you have that does no harm to you or anyone else is not a flaw.

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

I see your “I’m going to sacrifice myself so that you might live by [sneaking away to the danger in the middle of the night before you can stop or join me/shoving you through a rapidly closing doorway to safety whilst I stay on the other side forever/giving myself up to the enemy and death in exchange for a promise of your enduring freedom]”

And I raise you “I’m going to ask you first what you want out of this situation rather than excluding you from a decision that intimately affects your own well being and might saddle you with a lifetime’s worth of crippling emotional guilt and grief just so I can feel good about my own actions.”

(This post brought to you by a recent conversation I had with @emmanuellececchi about a similar dilemma faced by one of her favored blorbos, as well as a recent re-read of Beren and Lúthien, where I always want to punt Beren back into Nan Dungortheb for running off in the night to find the silmaril alone when Lúthien has already made QUITE clear that she’d rather face danger with him than be left behind.)

I've been listening to Loser, Baby from Hazbin Hotel on repeat despite having a minimal interest in Hazbin Hotel and tbh I think Loser, Baby might go in the "songs to listen to if you need cheering up" playlist lol.

It's just such a funny song but also the message isn't horrible. I love that it starts off sounding like Husk is just being a dick to Angel Dust for the sake of being a dick but no, he has a point to make (although I will say that it definitely feels like Husk is intentionally making it seem like he's being a dick to be a dick just to get a rise out of Angel, especially in the show lmao). So here are my takeaways from it:

Because I vaguely know what Husk is like in terms of his personality overall, I'm pretty confident in saying that he was intentionally trying to get a rise out of Angel to prove a point. Genuinely watching Angel slowly lose his mind as Husk bullies him is hilarious lmao

The entire song is basically Husk trying to get Angel to accept himself as he is and realize he's not alone, because Husk and Angel's flaws and trauma don't have to completely destroy them.

Disney underutilized Keith David in The Princess and The Frog

Husk says "But letting walls down, it can sometimes set you straight" and I think that's one of the biggest takeaways from Loser, Baby. Sometimes (usually. always) opening up is the first step to recovery.

The message of Loser, Baby is very much "You're not alone and you should feel more than free to embrace and own your flaws" and I love it. Loser, Baby doesn't suggest that being a loser is a bad thing, but something to embrace. Husk's goal isn't to put down Angel Dust, it's to get him to embrace a part of himself he's grown to hate and tell him that being damaged doesn't mean he should give into hopelessness (hell, he even accepts the parts of Angel that Angel himself hates with no hesitation), and especially in the context of the episode Loser, Baby appears in it's not a bad message.

i love these two and i love this song and i love how loser, baby promotes embracing aspects of yourself you hate
