#on perfectionism

[akindplace]

I made a new post on my other blog, where I post longer texts, this one being about redefining what it means to be successful, and to say some comforting words to those that are feeling a bit lost and worried about the future, just as I am. If you want to read it, I’ll share the link below:

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

WE'RE SO BACK

i love it when characters are codependent. i love it when losing someone feels like losing a limb. i love it when two people "complete" each other so wholly and terribly that one can barely function without the other. i love it when the fear of losing the only person who understands them is so all-consuming they'll destroy anything to stay together, including themselves.

Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

Rewatching Star Trek TOS after 20 years and I'm once again in my Spirk brainrot era. So good to be back, I missed these silly space guys.

We should all be less embarrassed to be caught trying tbh. Wanting to be something is only ever bad if you’re trying to imitate others without ever forming your own thoughts opinions or taste. But I have never looked down on people who’re trying to get somewhere or called them wannabes or mocked them for it. Like that’s admirable actually. There is nothing wrong w having goals and trying at something until you’re good at it. And there’s nothing wrong w the initial phase where you’re struggling. That’s the most natural thing in the world

there are no rules that you have to implement to optimize self-care. you don’t need every skin care product to do it, you don’t necessarily need to bug anything you don’t really need. don’t let capitalism commodify taking care of yourself. rest when needed. eat a wholesome meal when hungry. go for a walk when you feel stuck, talk to a friend if you’re feeling lonely. do the things you need to do to take care of yourself without worrying as if you need to be perfect at it. you’re not getting graded for it. and you’re not lazy for needing to slow down.

My life is a constant cycle between "I need to rest before I burn out" and "I'm wasting my potential, I should work harder"
