i want a darkk darkk maroon on the outside house with white walls and wood floors in the inside and a small wild garden in the backyard IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR

[aandliketheseaa]

i just laid on my bed loudly chomping carrots for a while so i just want to be transparent about the fact that i am honest to god a radiant catch of a human being angel 

[aandliketheseaa]

i’ve got to put this somewhere “public” - - 

i am so fucking excited to date someone who is a conversationalist and who supports me well and personally even during the hardest of times !!! i know there are ppl like that out there bc they are my current friends so so stoked to kiss someone who is strong n emotionally intelligent !! 

i’ve been dragged down for a damn long time n i feel so much relief and hope that it’s over - n gratitude for the goodness of course - but dang new cute future-forward horizons out there

we’re both a bit more jaded than our ages gift us and i wonder why that is.

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

[shesgotwhatittakes]

Here it is again with text for anyone who can’t see the picture

That thought isn’t helpful right now.

Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.

This is irrational. I’m going to let it go.

I won’t argue with an irrational thought.

This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.

This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn’t.

I don’t have to be perfect to be OK.

I don’t have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.

It’s OK to make mistakes.

I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.

I have to take risks in order to be free. I’m willing to take this risk.

It’s OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to pay attention to it.

I’m ready to move on now.

I can handle being wrong.

I don’t have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.

That’s not my responsibility.

That’s not my problem.

I’ve done the best I can.

It’s good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.

to all the people i will not know as friends, i miss you consistently, constantly, all the time

I feel like I’m kind of fading into this little small person who feels unable to be loved in a way that feels like Enough by everyone I know which means that I need too Much which feels like I’m just a creature tbh 

I’m okay and these feelings will pass but damn sometimes I just feel like an unsolvable mystery 

[aandliketheseaa]

[aandliketheseaa]
