little comic about self care and growth [instagram, store, etc]
The type of parents who argue that simply putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their kids' head is sufficient parenting are always so shocked when their children no longer want to deal with them once they've got their own place and can buy their own groceries. Like what else did you expect to happen? You told the people who had no other choice than rely on you for food and shelter that asking for any more than that is unreasonable of them, and then they don't go to you for anything once they can get those some other way. What would they go to their parents for?
They've got food at the house.
maybe you should kiss a cat on its tiny little head then you'll feel better

Here's a comic from last year that I posted to Autostraddle š
eggs are most delicious when least touched by fire (so poached, sunny side up, etc declining in quality to over easy, hard boiled). this is because fire cleanses the egg of sin (primary source of flavor). this is also why the objectively most delicious egg is soft boiled (hardened purified exterior traps the delicious sin inside the soft gooey interior), and why scrambled eggs are morally ambiguous
alternatives to āi want to dieā:
i want things to change
i want a different life
today was a shitty day/week
i donāt want to live like this
i want to be somewhere else in life
iām not where i want to be yet
+ much more
The funniest thing about being an istj is that you don't relate to any of the stereotypes on one side but agree with every single meme on the other side and then youāre wondering why tf you question your mbti type for the tenth time a week
i read this post about someone simply accepting their depression is not going to go away & instead of resenting themselves for never getting rid of it or trying to find so much energy to banish the sadness away or to be fully "healed" from it, they just focus on adding more happy things in their plate.
and that is something i can resonate with.
Dear people who aren't always positive, joyful, or bubbly,
You are still a good friend. You are worth spending time with. Your friends enjoy your presence and want you in their life. You don't have to radiate joy to earn space in their life. You don't have to be positive all the time for them to keep you around. You are wonderful and worthy just the way you are.
āIf you have time to be on social media, you also have time forā¦ā āIf you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time forā¦ā Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?
a big part of being happy is being excited. be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, decorating your future apartment, seeing a friend again, falling in love unexpectedly, the next episode of a show you like, finishing something stressful,Ā buying something youāve been saving up for, a new album, sunsets, traveling, road trips,Ā and the feeling of going to bed after a long day. think of something to be excited about and daydream about it often when youāre sad.
I think constant happiness comes from gratitude. Appreciate the little things in life and you will find yourself surrounded by blessings.
you donāt talk too much. you arenāt too loud. you arenāt too needy. you arenāt too sensitive. you arenāt too this, or that. you arenāt too much anything. you will never be too much: you are you, and you are allowed to take up space. you are allowed to exist however you choose.
weird how nothing about u is like, too small or too dumb to know bc it all comes together to become YOU. sending your friend a picture of your favorite snack is saying something important whether u realize it or not. wheres that palahniuk quote
here is a small reminder to you, my friends š©µ
your body is allowed to change, your mind is allowed to change, you are allowed to change, life is all about changing, people around us change, world changes, environment changes.
let's embrace all changes even when they feel absolutely uncomfortable.
weāre gonna be ok btw
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast⦠try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen⦠the time will stretch and youāll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
Who cares what society thinks relationships should be like. Don't be afraid to have strange and unusual relationships with the people around you. Ask someone if they wanna pretend to date for fun. Kiss your homies goodnight. Buy your friends flowers and nice things. Who cares. Love your friends. Be a flirt. Be a whore. Be silly. Be free.
life is like. keeping your heart soft, staying curious, having fun, being strong
Eat happily today. Enjoy each bite. Remind yourself that life is so much more than how much you weigh or what you eat. Your life should be filled with joy.
