i love!!! food!!! i love being alive and getting to eat delicious things!!! i love sourdough bread and sharp cheddar cheese and blackberry jam. i love custard buns so hot they almost burn your mouth and soup dumplings with sesame seeds toasted on. i love tea with milk and honey and tiny chewy matcha mochis, and i love salty pistachios right out of the shell. i love smoked fish and cured meat and the infinite variety of Stuff To Put On Rice. i LOVE food and love that i get to eat it. eating multiple times a day every single day forever, however, is a sadistic trap.

thinking about how ursula k leguin said "what goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives" and how everyday i wake up slightly different and i can feel myself shed the skin of who i used to be slowly, slowly, until i look back and can scarcely recognise who i was... but also she is still a part of me, part of the leaf litter and the humus, supporting me as i send new roots down and new leaves stretching up to the sunlight

healing isn’t a straight line and two steps forward with one back still means you’re moving. don’t let the hard days rewrite the whole thing

you can have a tough night but a good morning. yesterday can be bad and today can be good. it doesn’t invalidate what you’re doing through. it doesn’t make what you felt any less real.

I think one of the biggest shifts in my recovery was realizing that discomfort doesn’t automatically mean someone did something wrong.

Sometimes discomfort means a boundary was set. Sometimes it means something touched an insecurity. Sometimes it means I’m grieving something. Sometimes it means I’m growing.

That doesn’t make the feeling less real or less deserving of care.

But learning to pause and ask myself “what is this feeling trying to tell me?” instead of immediately deciding someone else caused it has been one of the most helpful things I’ve learned.

Yeah? Well I'm in love with strangers who I've never even seen. In love with weird cut bangs and sweaters swaying kind of awkwardly an I'm in love with fresh air friends from overheated houses. If you even care btw

this post will find you when it needs to find you.

just some facts: you are loved. you are not alone. you are valuable. you are worthy of good things. you are deserving of self love and forgiveness. i’m glad you’re still here.

Someone once said to me, “I hope the pain eases soon.” It struck me as the purest blessing that had ever been offered over my head - I hope the pain eases soon. It’s so gentle, so kind, so hopeful. So to everyone who’s hurting: I see how hard you’re trying, and I hope your pain will ease soon.

you’re not hopeless you’re just really really tired and in desperate need of a break and im shaking you by the shoulders and telling you that all is not hopeless but you do need to rest

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you

[mobydyke]

clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it" as I physically force myself out the door to go Do Things

being very firm with myself every time I think about bailing and saying "no. you committed to this. it will improve your quality of life. you will enjoy it. now put on your big boy pants and go."
