this is your sunday evening reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you.

[thoradvice]

sending love to those who struggle with the holidays. to those who have lost their family. to those who are from abusive homes. those who are struggling mentally. in a rough spot financially. those who are neurodivergent & easily overwhelmed. and to those who just plain don't enjoy them.

i hope you can smile genuinely, and feel some love. i hope they pass uneventfully, and your transition to the next year is smooth and full of warmth <3

it isn’t too late for you. you’ll be okay. there’s no time limit on happiness.

[thoradvice]

it’s okay to feel like you’re behind in life. the media portrays a rigid timeline of life experiences, telling us that if we haven’t adhered to this ridiculous “order” then we’re a loser. but that’s not true.

you can have these experiences at any age. it’s okay if you’re 18 and haven’t been kissed, or if you’re 30 and live with your parents. it doesn’t make you worthless or stupid, or anything else. you’re not behind in life, even if you feel like it. you’re going at your own pace and that’s more than okay. there are more people than you think in the same boat. you’re not alone in feeling like this.

this especially applies to those who’ve been through trauma and / or deal with mental illness(es). these things often steal our childhood and adolescence, making it even harder to reach the “common” teenage milestones of getting laid and smoking weed, or whatever’s cool at the moment. you’re not missing out. you’re not too late. you can experience everything you want to in your own time. 

there’s no time limit on the very vast majority of these experiences. you can do as many of them as you want. life doesn’t suddenly become dull and meaningless at 18 or 25 or 40. you have so much time life, i promise. there’s no time limit on happiness, or on anything you want to accomplish.

[thoradvice]

if you feel you wasted this year, i promise you didn't. rest and relaxation and recovery is worth all the time in the world. time spent lost to mental illness, abuse, etc is not your fault. you have so much time to thrive. you'll get closer this year, i know it.

[thoradvice]

you are not hard to love. you're not "too different" to be loved. you're not "too ugly", "too fat", "too weird", or anything else. the right people will love you because of everything you are, not despite of things. you're worthy of that love, and it'll come to you soon.

you are not hard to love.

WE HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE STARS (nor are we forgiven)

Joel survives his attack from Abby, but at what cost? Bloody, bruised, and injured in more ways than one, Joel remains at Ellie's side. With both him and Abby alive, Ellie must choose between a quest of vengeance, and repairing her relationship with Joel. With Joel alive and Ellie not suffering such a loss, does she even wish to repair their relationship? Will they even get a chance, if the WLFs strike again?

multichapter (eventually) / ellie pov / dina x ellie

while the premise may not be the fluffiest of all time, i truly intend this to be a gentle story! TLOU2 hurt me in more ways than i can count, and I aim to fix that as much as i can, hehe. rocky start, with realistic, tooth-rotting fluff. also heavy on the dina / ellie, I promise. (baby potato will still make an appearance). on ao3 now ! i aim to upload as often as possible / as often as uni will allow

i have not written fic in a really long time, but something about this game just makes me want to write and write. i'd adore any feedback anyone desires to share <3

it's so easy to deny yourself basic things, like food and sleep, in order to punish yourself. but you deserve better. you deserve tasty foods that make you smile, to sleep in and go to bed early, to be warm and cozy. you never have to "earn" that. you deserve all of that and more just by existing. you're allowed to be kind to yourself. kindness is brave.

i cannot emphasise enough how much you need to create something. anything. it doesn't matter if you suck. you don't need to monetise it, or make it your career. you can restart an old hobby; you can start from scratch. it doesn't matter. you just need to hold something and be able to say "i did that". baking, drawing, painting, writing, coding, crafts, whatever. make something ! you cannot have all your hobbies be a form of consumption. it's fun, it's great in its own right. but the single best action to make yourself feel better, to calm your mind, to gain self esteem, is to Create

[thoradvice]

something important to remember is that there's always time. if you lost many years to abuse or mental illness, you will get a chance to live life on your terms. there is no limit on the age you have to be to achieve goals. you can go back to school at 30, or switch careers at 40. you can start new hobbies at any age. there is no cut off age for being happy and content. if you're trapped right now, you will get the opportunity to become who you want to be.

HELP A DISABLED YOUNG PERSON GET A SERVICE DOG DURING DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH

If anybody can donate, the link is here

Hi, my name is Evan, I'm a 20yr old lesbian and I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder that is slowly taking my mobility. I am desperately seeking funds to purchase a fully-trained service dog, which run the cost of £9,000-15,000. I am student, too disabled to work and reliant on my small disability benefit, and simply cannot afford this. I have £5,000 in savings I can put towards, but I am asking for support to cover the rest.

This dog would be life-changing for me, as a mobility service animal can provide balance and stability when walking, meaning I can be more physically active and preserve my mobility. They can also help me with chores around the house, remind me of medication, and alert someone in an emergency; all of this would mean that I could finally have the independence to move out of my parents' house, something that has always been out of reach for me, due to my inability to take care of myself and household tasks, as well as fear of what may occur in an emergency

I know times are tough for everyone, but I would be forever grateful to anybody who could spare a little, or even share this <3

one day you'll wake up and think, "life is okay". it'll happen gradually. you'll start to notice flowers blooming in a new light. your evening shower will be a sweet refuge. your morning coffee will warm your soul. things will seem bright and beautiful, and you'll wonder how you ever wanted to leave such lovely things behind
