I’m Rooting for You

A comfort blog where I mostly reblog things that make me happy or that I think could help someone else. I also like to make moodboards sometimes.

i think if you wanna be loved you cannot shut yourself off to every person trying to know you. you have to open your heart like a little doorway and invite them in thru effort and little offerings of connection

I think people need to tell more kids that they're proud of them for graduating high school. I'm absolutely dead serious, especially now. I can see the graduating high schoolers surrounding me right now are burned out and traumatized and depressed, and they've undoubtedly had a much, much harder time in high school than I ever had, and I had some pretty shitty high school experiences.

I graduated high school with no more acknowledgement than the standard "congrats on surviving another year of school!" And immediately followed by "have you finished all your scholarship applications?" That was fine for me. I knew i wanted to go to college, I was set and ready for it, eager to get out of high school into more challenging courses.

But if I just finished high school after two years of fighting through online courses and no one acknowledged the battles I went through? If I was as burnt out and traumatized as these kids are right now? I'd have never have gone to college.

So for everyone graduating high school, even if you barely scraped by passing: I see you. I'm proud of you. You did such a good job. I wish you success in what you try to do, fortune enough to keep you safe and happy, and health always.

here's to plus sized boys who are insecure and believe that they're not worthy of love; you deserve love and respect like everyone else.

I wanna get real for a second. As a trans guy that loves feminine shit I have for a long time felt like I needed to push all of the stuff I like down and act stereotypically masculine as to be taken seriously as a male. But the thing is assholes will always be assholes. Never sacrifice stuff that make you happy for other peoples approval.

That is of course easier said than done and you sometimes have to socially mask stuff but still when you feel safe go for it. Remember loving yourself for who you are and just vibbing with life is absolute king shit.

the fact that our tumblr consists mainly other peoples thoughts that tenderly matches with ours.. aren’t we all a constellation of each other?

‘the mortifying ordeal of being known’ what about the comforting joy of being understood

My brain, having a meltdown like a toddler: I just can’t do it! I don’t want to !! I can’t!! Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Take a deep breath, it’s going to be ok. We don’t have to do everything today that’s overwhelming you. Let’s pick the most important thing to work on, ok? What’s the smallest step we can do to work towards that? My toddler brain, wiping away tears: Um, I think we should…open up the important spreadsheet and look at the first row. Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Great! Let’s do that, and then we can have a popsicle, ok? My toddler brain: *nods through drying tears, upset, but cooperative*

THIS IS HOW YOU MINDFULLY ACCEPT YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, THOUGH.

I’m a clinical psychologist, and I use this example with literally everyone I work with where the goal is to give thoughts and feelings space in a non-judgmental way. We literally never grow out of this need for compassion, but when we become adults we must become skilled in giving that same compassion to ourselves.

This is emotional regulation and as an ADHD person who grew up in an ADHD household, I *had no idea how it worked or how to do it* until I started working with my current therapist who was like, “actually relying purely on forcing yourself to do the things that make you sad or upset is not actually a sustainable approach”
