“you have to work to live” bro food is literally free until someone builds a fence around it and guards it with weapons. work is a contrivance and unnatural.

rqqu

none of the pro-work people can answer the question of why effort feels good but work doesn’t. it feels so fucking good to expend effort. every muscle in my body celebrates when i struggle physically. when i push my mind to solve a problem, i feel like a master. yet, when i’m on the job, the joy is gone. why is that? can anyone answer this simple question?

Affirmations for Rough Nights:

Although everyone says it, everyone does have bad nights. But I am not going to follow this up with some punchy line about the sun rising again, because even though it does that doesn’t always help at the time. Bad nights are hard and even harder when they happen frequently. This is a list of affirmations for self soothing, for the times when you need reassurance, comfort or affection, but are for whatever reason unable to receive it from someone else. I put these on a post it note in my nightstand for when I wake up from nightmares. I hope people find them to be helpful.

My feelings are valid, but they won’t last forever.

I deserve to rest

I deserve to feel safe

I will be safe

Everything will be okay

I am healing

Things can get better

I am more than my past

My life is more than bad nights

I can get through this

I am stronger than I feel

I deserve to heal and grow

I am not alone

This will pass

Happier times are to come

Peace will find me

Hope will find me

I am good

I am enough

I am strong

There is good in me

There is good in this world

I am lovable

I am brave

I can get through this

As always feel free to use, share, adapt and change any of these. Stay safe, you are strong and can get through this. It will get better, you are not alone.

Keep Fighting,

S,
