What are the benefits of loving yourself?

Loving yourself is an essential part of mental and emotional wellbeing. It can help you become a better version of yourself and open the door to a more positive and fulfilling life. Here are some of the top benefits of loving yourself:

1. You will be more confident in your decisions and actions. When you love yourself, you become more secure in who you are, allowing you to make decisions from a place of knowing what is best for you.

2. You will be able to accept your flaws. Loving yourself means understanding that no one is perfect. You’ll be able to accept and even embrace your imperfections, which will make it easier for you to learn from your mistakes.

3. You will be more resilient in challenging times. Self-love allows you to maintain a positive outlook and focus on solutions instead of getting overwhelmed by problems. This helps you navigate through tough times with more confidence and strength.

4. You will have improved relationships with others. Self-love encourages healthy boundaries, which help you have better relationships with others. When you truly value yourself, it will be easier for others to respect and appreciate you.

5. You will find more joy in life. Loving yourself helps you create a sense of inner peace, making it easier to be content and enjoy life’s moments. It also allows you to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and become more in tune with what brings you true happiness.

Here's your daily reminder that it's okay to break up with someone if they make you feel bad for their own securities. It's okay to break up with someone because they make you feel terrible or like a terrible person, even if their mental health isn't the greatest. You're not an asshole for prioritizing yourself because your mental health is important too. Do not put yourself on the line for someone just because you feel bad for them. Do not stay with someone out of pity.

GOOFY BIRTHDAY SHIT

guess who's birthday is coming up

MEEEE

So anyways, gonna talk about how strange they are

like, you celebrate going around in a circle around the sun, and how many times that has happened, usually ads one candle to your cake. But I find it. so strange that its so widely televised that every birthday is just another party. Wouldn't it get tiring of having birthday bashes every birthday??? I like eating cake. mostly. if it s not too sugary, but like come on man. Most of the times what one is going to do is just vibe, eat some cake, hang out with friends to celebrate you're one year closer to death

and also probably trying to ignore how most of your friends may or may not have already started doing drugs. I mean, I get only one life to live and shit but dude??? at least wait until you're on your death bed and have the most WILD FUCKING DEATH BASH OF ALL TIME

maybe thats jsut me tho. Either way, I'm going to maniacally giggle as I set up a birthday discord call and just spam people with quack quack quack and then leave eating some cake. Absolute baller, have you ever just wanted to some crazy ass shit reserved for a party?? Get free food?? Be born!! It's your greatest acheivement, and BOOM!!! when you make it one year- 52 weeks of your life and you're still at least breathing?? celebrate with a shit ton of sugar and staring up at your ceiling on your birthday and wonder how the fuck you're one year older and how did you make it this far

and be proud

Simply something as simple as a birthday should totally be celebrated! Who knows, maybe you've gone through tough shit. Maybe you're battling an addiction that could kill you. Maybe you've tried some things in the past to cut your time short. Maybe you're battling an illness, no matter the kind. Maybe there are days where you just.. don't know if you can go on. Either way, you don't have to celebrate. Don't have to eat cake or be social. It's your birthday. Be proud you made it 52 more weeks.

I know I am. This year has been absolutely BALLING. It's giving 'holy shit, am I just going to stay this way forever, will things be okay, will I ever recover, will I hold on for just a little longer'

Honestly, I've had days where I was just. ready to give up. Not make it so I can yell at the world that I don't give a SHIT and I am going to LIVE. I've had times and episodes where all thats on my mind is move, move. Make it. Breath. Don't give up. Reach out where you can. but in those times, what got me moving was focusing on moving one finger at a time. Stutter my breathing, try to hum. I don't have to yell physically at the world that whatever fucking walls you shove my way I'll break it down.

Because sometimes I'm not strong enough to move through those. Sometimes I have to climb them. Sometimes I just have to wait. To break one brick at a time. It may not be chaotic, violent, or fun, but on the other side there will always be more. More ways to cause chaos, to have fun. To live, move, breath.

Every day, hell, every week may not be your week. It may not be your month. You may be struggling to even drag yourself out of bed or even eat anything. You may not be able to sleep at night but pass out while waiting for a friend to respond to a message. You may want to draw, dance, laugh, sing, write, play, but you're unable to bring yourself to. But what matters is you made it another day. You may be bored as fuck waiting. Just sitting. Doing nothing but wait.

But before you can have patience with anything, you have to have patience with yourself. break shit down. Know that some things may not last. That some friendships are bound to fade. Some days are hell and back. That one day you may die to anything. but you also have to take into account the joy and happiness you have in the present. You have to cherish who you have now, even if you know, even if it nags you that you two may split ways. However you also have to take into account that one day, things will be okay. Sure, they won't be perfect, but it'd be breathable. It'd be just enough. and sometimes, just enough is enough. It doesn't hurt to strive for better, but it hurts to shame what you have now. It hurts to lose sight of the happiness and life you have now. Rushing into things isn't for everyone. But companionship and support go longer ways that slaving away at life so you can live a 'perfect' life. Sometimes people forget to be content with what they have and strive for better.

So, for anyone who also has a birthday coming up, or simply just need to hear it: Happy birthday motherfucker

enjoy your life while you can, you never know when your book ends, but it's better to enjoy it than wait for impending doom.

it's okay to feel sad

sadness is not an evil emotion. sadness makes you human

it's okay to feel angry

anger is just as human and natural and normal as sadness. if you are angry, you are not evil. you are a valid person

it's okay to feel happy

other people's suffering is important to worry about, but pain is not a heirarchy. it is not a tier list. pain is pain. it is not a competition. you are allowed to be happy in sad situations as well, because you found light in the darkness. cherish it.

it's okay to feel. you are not any more or less than anyone else, and no one else is more or less than you. we are all humans with emotions, don't be afraid to express them. even if it's over "stupid" things, sometimes it's not stupid with context. people don't just go from 0 to 100. it takes time, and maybe that "stupid" thing happening was the thing that cranked you from 99 to 100.

you are allowed to express your emotions. do it.

Honestly I feel like if Fenris ever meets Hira he will have one of the most conflicting moments in his life. Cause on one hand she wants to burn all of tevinter to the ground. On the other hand she's a mage who was willing to sell the woman she loved back into the slavery of a magister, meaning she's not above doing the things he hates tevinter for.

That being said I will 1000% not be surprised if in season 2 he's working with Meredith and has a very "if not for the laws of this land I would kill you" relationship with Hira.

How do I cultivate myself. Say if I'm the crop, i can't be the farmer. Or can I. If I'm a weed, i suppose then, i might play both roles. But weeds are insignificant. And i don't want to believe I'm insignificant. Although that might be the case sure. However, i like lying to myself, that i am more than nothing cause being nothing is scary though on second thought it's also freeing.
