Reasons to Stay Alive

Dear Person,

I want you to know that you are valued, cherished, and loved. Life may seem overwhelming at times, but there are countless reasons to keep going, to keep fighting, and to keep living. I've compiled a list of reasons, big and small, to remind you of the beauty and wonder that surrounds us each day.

We Would Miss You: Your presence in this world matters. Your absence would leave a void in the lives of those who care about you.

Regret is Not Worth It: No matter how difficult life may seem, the regret of giving up is far greater than the challenges you face. Your resilience will inspire others.

It Gets Better: Even in the darkest of moments, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow. Storms eventually pass, and rainbows appear.

Don't Miss Out: Life is full of experiences waiting to be had. From small joys to monumental milestones, there's so much you would miss out on.

There's Always a Reason: Even when it's hard to see, there is always a reason to keep going. Your journey is unique, and your purpose is waiting to be discovered.

You Are Cared For: You are not alone. People care about you deeply, and your well-being matters to them.

You Are Worth It: You are inherently valuable and deserving of love and happiness. Don't let anyone, including yourself, convince you otherwise.

You Are Amazing: Embrace your strengths, your quirks, and your uniqueness. You are capable of achieving incredible things.

Emerging Stronger: Tough times may test your resilience, but they also provide opportunities for growth. You will emerge from challenges stronger and more resilient than ever before.

Unfulfilled Dreams: Think of all the dreams and goals you've yet to accomplish. Your potential is limitless, and your future holds endless possibilities.

Love: Even if it's from just one person, love is a powerful reason to stay. You are worthy of love and capable of giving and receiving it.

Music: Imagine a world without the melodies that move your soul. Your presence adds harmony to the symphony of life.

Impact on Others: Your actions have a ripple effect on those around you. Ending your life would cause immeasurable pain to those who care about you.

Missed Opportunities: You'll miss out on future experiences, from the mundane to the extraordinary.

Future Generations: Your existence shapes the future, including the possibility of having a family of your own.

Family's Feelings: Consider the impact your absence would have on your family. Your life is intertwined with theirs in profound ways.

You Are Perfect: To someone out there, you are perfect just as you are. Your imperfections make you uniquely beautiful.

Favorite Things: Think of all the little pleasures in life, from favorite foods to cherished activities. These simple joys are worth living for.

Unique Experiences: Life is full of unique experiences waiting to be had, from traveling the world to meeting new people.

Laughter and Joy: The world is full of laughter, joy, and moments of pure happiness. These moments are worth living for.

Hope for the Future: Your survival holds the potential to make the world a better place, even in small ways.

Inspiration for Others: Your journey can inspire others to persevere through their own struggles.

Soulmates and Connections: You have yet to meet the people who will profoundly impact your life and bring you joy.

Purpose: Your life has purpose, and it's up to you to discover it. Each day is an opportunity to uncover your passions and fulfill your potential.

Changed Lives: You've already made a difference in someone's life. Your presence has touched others in meaningful ways.

Potential to Change the World: Your actions have the power to change the world for the better.

Every Day is a Gift: No matter how challenging life may be, each day is a precious gift to be treasured.

Talent and Potential: You possess unique talents and abilities that have yet to be fully realized.

Embracing Imperfection: Happiness comes from embracing life's imperfections and finding beauty in the journey.

Be Your Own Hero: You have the power to overcome obstacles and become the hero of your own story.

Remember, dear person, you are not alone in this journey. There is hope, there is love, and there is a future waiting to be discovered. Keep fighting, keep believing, and keep living. You are worthy of every happiness this life has to offer.

Healing through words has different exercises to help you learn how to freewrite and to help you heal through words. I wanted to share one of my entries! It's a letter to anxiety!

Dear anxiety,

Hello again! My forever friend! You come and visit me multiple times a day and sometimes you don't go away! I beg you daily to let me be, but you constantly try to betray me! You constantly make me self-doubt myself, even when I'm feeling on top! You make me fear life non-stop! I can't even carry on a conversation if the energy is not just right! Because of you... You're supposed to help me with my fight or flight, not with every step that I take through life! I know past traumatic events have kept you around! To protect me! So I can continue to be found! But I'm healing, I'm growing, I'm continuing to evolve into the best version I know how! But, here you are always around! I wish I didn't dislike you so much! Because in the end, all we have is us! But that comes down to trust! As I continue to release past traumatic events, can you trust me that I will be okay? You and I are like yin and yang. We have to find the balance!

Love, yourself ☯️💕

there is no "secret third thing". either you harass people over fiction (anti) or you don't (proship). that's it.

Consent = F.R.I.E.S.🍟

Consent! What is it and what does it look like? There are many aspects to giving consent, it's not just about saying "yes", so why not use the acronym 'FRIES' to remind yourself of all the things to consider when giving or asking for consent.

F - Consent is Freely given: you should never pressure, coerce or force someone into saying yes to something, this is not consent. You must respect when someone says no. You should feel confident and happy when you consent to any activity with your partner(s).

R - Consent is reversible: it is okay to consent to something and then change your mind, if you're not comfortable, say so and ask to stop. If your partner changes their mind on something you should respect their choice, and if they are willing, have a conversation about their decision.

I - Consent is informed: you should know what exactly you are consenting to and your partner(s) should too. It's good to discuss specifics beforehand and what you're both comfortable with.

E - Consent is enthusiastic: when someone is giving consent consider their tone and body language. Do they sound happy, upbeat and are they being proactive? Or do they sound hesitant, reluctant or closed-off?

S - Consent is specific: when someone says yes to one activity, it does not mean they consent to other activities. If someone has consented to something in the past, it does not mean that they have consented to doing that activity again in the future, you need renewed consent.

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

[polyamorousmood]

Idk what budding poly person needs to hear this, but if you need to break up with your partner because they're strictly monog, you're not a bad person and it doesn't mean your love for them isn't real

[exanimateporcelain]

sighs i don't get how people are against the romanticisation of your own mental illnesses . yes i fully understand that people [who don't have whatever illness you have] may try and fetishise it and water it down and such, but if it's your own personal coping mechanism and it's helping you ,, i don't really. see. the problem with it.

i like making my scars cute by carving hearts and stars, it helps me focus and calm down easier ; seeing cute knives makes me feel less gross about being ill in such a way ; i love the jirai kei community because it makes me feel less alone about things, nd genuinely people do care a lot. ive gotten so many tips on how not to relapse or how to look after wounds if you personally dont want to get better / help ^^

Do yall ever just draw/write/do something and go "I did that? Me?? This lil guy??? I had the power in me this entire time, but nobody told me????"

[bloody-icecream]

Me in twenty days… if you even care 💔🥀🪦

[jiraisupportgroup]

💗 it’s okay if you had a “bad” day

💗 it’s okay if you had a “bad” week

💗 it’s okay if you’re not ready to recover

💗 it’s okay if you’re afraid of recovering

💗 it’s okay if you aren’t “better yet”

💗 I’m proud of you for doing what you can 💗

I'm stealing this from my lit teacher but he posed that something certain characters in arcane s2 missed were 'Zuko Alone' moments. Moments where characters took an extended amount of time to introspect, face the consequences of their actions, and connect with the wider world. This, to me, is why Caitlyn's arc wasn't as effective as it could've been. After a switch-up, after a big 180 like hers, it is simply necessary to track the progression of her arc. It's easy to say "In hating you, I've hated myself" and "no amount of good deeds can undo our crimes" but when you don't see her face the Zaunites or acknowledge the class-privileges she exploited, it all rings a little hollow. Arcane usually does a good job of tying the personal with the political and I think that's hidden in Cait's arc. She works as a character when you're understanding her actions in relation to her love for Vi and forgiveness of Jinx. She doesn't if you think of it on a wider socio-political scale. It's just a little odd when the show is such an arbiter of 'show don't tell'. That line has to do alot of heavy lifting. Alas, what time restraints does to an arc.
