‪Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change. Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.‬

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.

so I’d normally put this in the tags but it’s kind of a lot so just reblog this from OP to skip my commentary. But I dogsit for a family who is clearly LOADED. Their house is immaculate. High, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, two chandeliers in one room. These things are fancy, right ?? I really don’t know, anything that isn’t tile or 30 year old carpet seems fancy to me. It also so… bare. Everything is organized perfectly, they have no excess. Their decor is extravagant and yet minimal - it is carefully and precisely executed. Nothing that doesn’t match the aesthetic sits in their living room. I tried to replicate some of it, but it’s just not possible. I have every book I’ve ever owned, my mom keeps papers upon papers, VHSs in a dresser, how do you just get rid of these things when you know you may not have the opportunity to buy them again? How must it feel to live in such orderly quarters where everything is replaceable?

This really locked into my brain when I was reading one of the declutter your space things and it suggested getting rid of duplicate highlighters and pens. /Pens/. It suggested that you needed one or two working pens, so if you had extra you should get rid of them. That was when I realized minimalist living was /innately/ tied to having spare money, because the idea was, of course you just went out and bought the single replacement thing whenever the first thing broke. You obv. Had the time and money to only ever hold what you needed that moment, because you could always buy more later.

there’s a nice article titled “minimalism is just another boring product wealthy people can buy” by Chelsea Fagan which i feel addressed lots of my problems with minimalism, you can read it [here]

Those houses with high ceilings and open floor plans stress me out so much. Like, how much square footage are you wasting that could be rooms for roommates to share your rent?!

FYI that first pic? Yes a photoshoot, not a one-off though.  Theresa. 

Every picture more stunning than the one before.

There’s more!!!!! Goth queens!

There was someone on LJ back in the day whose icon said “So Goth I was born black” and I always admired that.

saw a post saying “dont beg men to love you” and thats absolutely true but i have an addition i dont want to add to the post and Derail. but dont beg ANYONE to love you. im serious. not just romantically. not parents, friends, family, and especially not significant others. if you find yourself having to beg for scraps of love its time to pack it up and move on.

“You can’t change nature.” “Change is nature.” is kind of a raw line to be from ratatouille

I’m eating this Russian chocolate and it made a rattling noise when I shook it and there’s a horse magnet inside???

[ihatejonarbuckle]

[maschine-klatsch-deactivated201]

That looks like it’s made of coal.

[4935058-452485-deactivated20170]

It tasted like coal

[acoolguy]

you ate a vase

[4935058-452485-deactivated20170]

honestly at this point me eating a small vase is the least of my problems

[coolbean94vevo]

[memeseverdie]

how the fuck do you look at a vase or table ornament and think “this is chocolate I will bite it” 

[andhumanslovedstories]

My biggest advice to men talking to women: ask questions. Like beyond if we’ve heard of something. I’m talking to a guy right now who is nice, he’s very nice, he’s interesting, it’s fine, but he has not asked me anything except if I’m familiar with the thing he’s currently lecturing on. And god knows I’m talking a lot too because I know how to elbow my way into a conversation, especially if I disagree, but it is an epidemic (especially when I’m talking to nerdy boys, I gotta be honest) that they just. Don’t. Ask. No one likes to spend a conversation feeling like an audience who occasionally is allowed to shout something at the stage.

[andhumanslovedstories]

I wrote this post like two years ago after talking with one specific man but I could slot in at least a dozen other men who I liked! Enjoyed spending time with! Thought were interesting! And yet who didn’t believe in ever ending a sentence in a question mark.

You know when people say “I watched this movie because you talked about it” or “I’ve been listening to this artist because I know you like it”, tenderness

If hating fat people is about hating an unhealthy lifestyle: 

Why do fat people get harassed at the gym, while jogging, or while swimming?

Why are fat people expected to cover up more? Changing what they wear will not make them healthier.

Why are thin people allowed to get away with not exercising and with eating all the pizza and bacon they want? If the problem is the unhealthy lifestyle, why doesn’t that apply to everyone? 

Never mind. I already know the answer.

[missheis]

Mm, it says here these are facts

[andro-djinni-of-the-lamp]

I’ll repost time and time again. Y'all don’t give two fucks bout fat people’s health you just project your insecurities on to others and see that as you giving “helpful advice”. You’re not being helpful, you’re being hurtful. Leave fat people alone and practice minding your business
