December 25th wasn’t really Jesus’s birthday

History convincingly shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun. A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that December 25 is an unlikely date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primary reasons:

We know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8).Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. 

Jesus’ parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4).Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating. 

Historical research indicates his birthday maybe June 13-19 in that year. (Source)

stop insulting yourself. it doesn’t help.

[rottentrauma]

But what if it’s true

[helperhoopoe]

it still doesn’t help. you can call yourself as many names as you want, but it won’t make you a better, happier, healthier or kinder person.

punishment doesn’t work. only positive reinforcement does. be kind to yourself and get better.

[the-journey-to-shrinkage]

But again, what if it’s the truth? What if you truly are an ugly piece of garbage???*

And why shouldn’t you remind yourself? I mean, ffs, let’s be realistic.

*asking for an ugly piece of garbage, me.

[helperhoopoe]

let me rephrase: 

everything we say has a purpose. the purpose of an insult is to hurt someone’s feelings. someone with hurt feelings does not improve themself; they go and think about how hurt they are and how bad they are, and nothing changes.

being realistic about your own flaws is important, because it’s how you address those flaws and get better. insults aren’t realistic, in my opinion. they’re hyperbolic, and usually not specific enough to be helpful.

what makes you a “piece of garbage”? are you manipulative? callous? cruel? insensitive? quick to anger? “piece of garbage” doesn’t mean anything. it’s pointless to call yourself that.

phrases like, “i’m really insensitive sometimes. i need to be more considerate of others’ feelings” are miles more useful than “i’m a piece of garbage”. being realistic about your flaws means you identify them and work on them, and just as importantly that you don’t identify flaws that aren’t there. tearing yourself down for every little thing you can think of isn’t helpful to anyone, least of all yourself.

what’s bad about you? what’s good about you? how can you be better?

(and, to bring us back to the idea of positive reinforcement: how far have you come already, and how are you already trying to be better? be proud of yourself for that!)

those are the things you should be thinking about rather than wasting your time hating yourself.

how to be okay when I see my deadname

[sapphic-giraffic]

real talk tho, i actually have a strategy for this. it was my wife’s idea. the key is to change your default association with the name. that way, instead of automatically thinking of it as your deadname, you think of it as something else’s name, ideally something you like.

what I did was start a new game on Pokémon Omega Ruby and give my starter, mudkip, my deadname. after many hours of play time, whenever i hear or see my deadname, i think of my beloved mudkip, now grown into a handsome, strong swampert.

if pokémon isn’t ur thing, i think the same strategy could be adapted to a pet or a stuffed animal. just a thought.

[transmadamegiry-remade-deactiva]

this is a beautiful strategy
