Gaza, Palestine, 2025

This is your sign to stop hurting yourself. No more self harm, physically, emotionally, no more staying awake until 3am, no more starving yourself or crazy diets, no more going days without a shower, no more talking badly about yourself, no more villainizing yourself, no more punishment and cringing about every word you said, no more overexercising and toxic friends and abusing substances, this is your year of healing, this is your sign for change.

Every time a small child starts crying or having a tantrum in my vicinity and I catch the parents glancing at me I’ve started saying “me when…”.

Friend kept trying to tell his crying kindergartener to calm down and relax and the kid growled “I AM relaxed” while visibly tensing every muscle in his body and I was like “oh that’s me at work every day” and we had a chuckle.

Parents look to other adults like “shit are they mad? Do they think my kid is acting like a demon?” And this response is my attempt to say “no. I think your kid is just acting like a human being.”

I WISH I could fling myself on the ground and cry because I experienced a minor inconvenience.

My partner hasn't been around children as much as I have, I've spent most of my working life with children aged 4-11 years old as I've worked in schools.

We have a friend with a 3 year old who fell over while we were all out together, 3 year old proceeds to shriek their head off until they're red in the face. They barely had a scratch on their knee, but it still hurt them.

My partner didn't understand why this child was THAT upset over falling when they weren't even that hurt.

I explained later that, to this kiddo, that pain is the WORST THING they have EVER experienced in their short time on earth. To them, that was the worst pain!

We as adults have had so so so much more experiences, so many things to compare falling over to, and we are also better equipped at dealing with any pain we do feel.

Really put it into perspective for my partner, he had a real "Oh my god.. of course" reaction. Wish more people took time to understand this about tiny humans. They are learning and experiencing things for the first time.

I hope that people don't forget about gaza once a ceasefire is reached. when the bombs stop falling, they will continue to need food, medicine, doctors, and supplies. the survivors will need aid urgently in the immediate aftermath. there are bodies to be counted, rubble to be cleared, fields to be tilled, buildings to be constructed. even as the people of gaza rebuild their lives, the trauma they've endured from this genocide will stay with them for generations. despite this, they will continue their fight for the liberation of all of palestine, as they always have been, and we must not forget them. the people of gaza will not be free until "israel" no longer exists, until all palestinians can live in their country free from subjugation, with equality and dignity. do not ever let the imperialists that funded and armed this genocide continue to spread lies about the palestinian people. do not ever let anyone forget that they tried to cover up and excuse this genocide at every turn. they will try to do it again. you must stand with the people of palestine forever.

Don’t look at things you know will make you angry. Don’t read the comment sections. Don’t look at the blogs of people who add dumb comments to posts to confirm that they’re dumb all the time. Don’t read old conversations you had with people you don’t talk to anymore. Go look at pictures of kittens or something instead. Protect yourself from negativity in every way you can.

I cannot even begin to explain the peace that was blessed upon me when I realized this.

your life is not an optimization problem

[dragonsblowingoutbirthdaycandles]

as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.

“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.

[barnables]

When you “do it scared” eventually you’re supposed to be less scared, eventually doing it scared is supposed to teach you the worst won’t happen, or it won’t be as bad as you think it is, or that the best outcomes are worth it, or you’re more capable than you thought you were. If you do it scared over and over and you’re still scared and you’re always scared, maybe it was never about pushing yourself, maybe something bigger is going on and what you really need is to be kind to yourself while you figure out what that is.

i mean this in the nicest way possible you guys but you NEED to take better care of yourselves online. getting severely anxious about mass quantities of horrible things you cant change every single day is normal considering the internet’s ability to educate on worldwide issues, it shows that you have empathy and that you truly do care. but relentless knowledge of constant suffering on this scale is NOT something humans are psychologically equipped to handle. it’s okay to shut off. it’s okay to just take a break and enjoy yourself for a while in your own localized space

It was half meant as a joke, but I recently read a post that was something like “If you’re not outraged, you’re probably setting understandable boundaries with the news you consume online”, and I still haven’t stopped thinking about it

RECLAIMING DISCIPLINE CAN LOOK LIKE:

• keeping small + manageable promises to yourself daily

• healing your attention span (ex: reading books, watching movies without scrolling, letting yourself be bored)

• moving from "I'll try" to "I will"

• reframing pain + difficulty as often where the growth happens

• showing up as the person you want to be

• making mindful & nourishing choices VS choices that result in instant gratification
