#pray for resilience

Brace yourself. It WILL get dark. It WILL be hard. It WILL feel like eternity. But don't give up. You WILL come out better, stronger, wiser.

I long for the belt buckles to arrive.

(My crafting hobbies are at a standstill until I can finish my gambeson)

But when they do arrive!! Watch out!

Ao3 is down for maintenance and I don't know how to cope. How am I supposed to ignore reality and all of my silly problems when there is nothing to distract me? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE IN THESE DIRE CONDITIONS

For so long, you've prayed for peace. You opened your eyes every morning hoping for a better day and closed them every night wondering when that feeling would come. You awaited that feeling of alleviation, clarity, and confidence that you so desperately envisioned but never quite embodied. You ached for that feeling of having some sense of normalcy and safety after being in seasons that felt almost too uncomfortable to bear. Now, seasons and lessons later, the tide has turned. You look back at those times and appreciate the tears because they taught you more than you ever anticipated, and you clearly see the resilience of the person in the mirror. As you stand here - older, wiser, and more understanding than you've ever been - embrace this moment. Embrace what it took to bring you to this point, and release the pain that ultimately positioned you. You are standing in answered prayers. Now, stand tall.

Today was the first time I was able to feel with great conviction that I am saved. To be honest I’ve felt it for a while—a few weeks or a few days maybe? But I didn’t fully realize until I was singing “Arise, My Soul Arise” on the way home from church, and I could sing “with confidence I now draw nigh, and ‘Father, Abba, Father,’ cry.” And I felt it was true. I have loved that hymn for so long because I wanted very badly for it to be true in my life and now I can sing it and feel it not just as a longing but as a reality.

it is nearly 5 months of continued wreckage of an entire population. out in the open, while global powers watch silently or egg them on. it is despicable, there are no words

being a disabled emo is like sometimes you are sat in a hospital bed about to have a minor procedure hoping everything goes fine because you have tickets to see paramore tomorrow

some people you can’t leave in your life and they are there everyday and they feel omnipresent because even a small disruption by them feels huge, and you fight it for some time, and then you learn to breathe around them, and then you slowly learn to live and enjoy despite them.

Review of Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey

Netflix’s Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey is a four-part documentary that plunges viewers into the dark, disturbing world of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamist sect ruled by Warren Jeffs. The series is relentless, not just in its portrayal of Jeffs as a calculated predator, but in the way it unpacks the systematic manipulation and oppression he enacted…

PTSD is wild. Usually with the mommy issues version my flashbacks involve my fight or flight going off and me freaking tf out until I calm myself down, but the version from the psychosis trauma consists of me seeing a memory every time I close my eyes. I still don’t like it cause it means I have a thousand yard stare all the time and I hate feeling like I’m floating untethered through time, but it is deeply strange to me to not have a freak out and instead just like. Physically see moments from my past
