i hope you realise how wonderful you are. that you look at your reflection and feel nothing but overwhelming self love. i hope you find a caring and safe relationship, whether that is platonic or romantic. i hope you work out all the overwhelming mess weighing on you. that you feel lighter and easier and every step is a step towards recovery. i hope you realise and find the happiness and love that you deserve and start treating yourself with the kindness your body needs. i hope you know right now that you are loved and you are so important. i am so glad you’re here and i hope soon, you are too.

This is one of my all time favorite ways to deal with my anxiety!

Ways To Practice Your Love Language On Yourself

Words of affirmation: Say nice things to yourself like, "I'm proud of you." "You're doing your best." "You are so beautiful!"

Acts of service: Give yourself a break and do something nice for yourself or clean your room/get organized.

Quality Time: Take yourself out on a date. Pull out a journal and write a letter to your younger or future self. Meditate or do yoga.

Physical Touch: Love your body and take your time moisturizing your skin every morning.

Gifts: Buy yourself fresh flowers every week or buy yourself something you've always wanted.

I hope to have more art coming soon!

things that should be completly normal:

not going to uni

taking as much time as needed before going to uni

changing your majors many times before finding what you like

changing your career path

not knowing what you want

attending a community college

valuing your health over your grades

Recovery is different for everyone :)

KING SHIT🥵🥴🤤

Sorry I’ve been out for a couple days!! This is something that I’ve always struggled with as a perfectionist. Getting help doesn’t mean you’re weak❤️

serotoninsuggestion

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

“I wish I could just act like a normal teenager sometimes. I feel like no one knows who I am but my anxiety keeps me silent.”

This painting will be for sale on my Aves Assemblage Etsy shop in January :) I tried adding some pen detail into this one to make it a little more haphazard and I’m really happy with it!

5 Fun Facts About Me & My Art

1. Most of my art supplies are second hand! I try my best to live sustainably even when it comes to art. I get materials from second hand stores and people I know in my community

2. Every painting I post on here comes with an excerpt written from my personal journal in the caption

3. I am a person living with diagnosed anxiety and a past of disordered eating. I use art as a form of recovery

4. I am an undergrad Psychology student with a concentration on Cultural/Race Relations. I’m double minoring in Spanish and Public Health to hopefully be a clinical therapist for refugees (fingers crossed haha)

5. I will be opening my Etsy Shop in late January to sell some of my work!!

Just a friendly reminder💗
