#this too shall pass

You've heard that message from the source of whatever path you follow, very likely. This too shall pass. Even if it's hot in your heart at the moment, or gnawing at your brain like a fiery little animal. [candace] _____

It Passes Away What is the purpose of reacting to something when it is changing so quickly? What is the purpose of reacting with craving or clinging? It passes away. Or hatred: it passes away. —S.N. Goenka, "Superscience"

hey guys.

it’s christmas time and i want to remind everyone that it’s okay. all of it. all of you is okay.

as a queer person — your love is strong and passionate and beautiful and sweet. if you want to be, you will be a parent. you will do better than they did. there is nothing wrong with how you look or present, and there certainly is nothing wrong with your gender. people might not understand, but they don’t need to. they need to love you. and if they can’t— i love you.

as a disabled person — i’m sorry that they stare. i’m sorry they ask questions. i’m sorry they don’t believe you. you don’t owe them proof or answers or patience. take breaks. don’t push yourself. remember your accommodations are not a burden. you are not a burden. it’s not your job to fit in with them, it’s there job to make room for you. if they don’t— there is room for you here.

as a trans person — only you define who you are. it’s not your job to soften it to make it easier. you’re trans and you are not sick. you’re trying to be happy. remember your name and repeat your pronouns without shame. if your family is still holding on to someone else — i’ll welcome you with open arms.

as someone who’s lost a loved one — this is a scary, lonely time. whether people pity you or tell you to get over it, don’t accept it. grief is love without anywhere to go, you never have to let go of that. remember them in anyway you choose. i like to light candles. if you need that extra support — the kettle is on.

if you are celebrating alone — by choice or unwillingly, i hope your holidays are wonderful. enjoy good food and relax. you’re welcome to stop by or give us a call. i’ll drop by a care package in the morning if you’d like. being alone isn’t always a bad thing.

as a neurodivergent person — this is overwhelming and overstimulating. take what you need, fidget toys, headphones, comfort objects. don’t let anyone tell you what you need and don’t. you know yourself best. take time. be kind to yourself. and if you need there’s a quiet room upstairs.

"fuck it we ball" is for stress about the future "it is what it is" is for stress about the past and "this too shall pass" is for stress about the present thank you for coming to my TED talk

okay, i promised a mutual some malevolent fanart, so here you go, people. I haven't traditionally done lineart, then colored digitally in a long time and I have to say I really enjoy it, especially now that I understand how to make the colors vibrant

I for one will continue to draw and stream as myself. And I sincerely hope my unapologetically queer little existence gives the Orange Terror a brain cramp.

I am going to do everything in my power to be a ray of fucking sunshine in this darkness and no one can take that away from me.
