Relearning that my needs matter.
Relearning that I don’t have to earn love.
Relearning that my boundaries are a form of love.
Relearning how to be present instead of overthinking.
Relearning how to love the process of taking care of myself.
Relearning how to love myself fully.
do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely
like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day
Day 5 of #feathruary2024 is #Spotted and I selected the #BrownCreeper .
@feathruary is a #birdartchallenge hosted by Missy @projectparlor and Michell @mischievousredfox and features a different bird-related art prompt each day which is open to interpretation.
I know art can be inaccessible to physically disabled people for a lot of reasons, and I think art should be accessible to everyone, so here’s a couple of the things I found to help for a few different issues you may face that stop you participating!
I have a link to all these items (UK) in my link tree!!
