Everything is overwhelming sometimes, and life can feel meaningless. Not everything is good right now, but I feel so so blessed to have people in my life who show me love and kindness unconditionally. People who make this overwhelming world feel worth going through. People who give me energy when I have none and people I can spend hours on end with, and it will never feel like it's wasted

It's absolutely rough sometimes and sometimes over very long periods. Towards the end of this year I feel more confident in myself, more happy with how far I have come and so incredibly blessed for the people, their love, that has followed almost every of my waking days

I know no one of you will see this directly, but you're the ones that give me hope. You're the ones that make me feel loved, that let me love myself and be proud of myself. You're the ones that remind me of the beauty of life, and you're the ones that keep me enduring the tough spots until I see the beauty again

You're the ones that give me life when I don't see a reason for continuing through this maze. I'm eternally grateful and will love you forever and beyond ♡

Where does this idea come from that you have to forgive someone who did you wrong so you can move on? I can move on just fine without forgiving anything. I swear these stupid rules we have in society make no damn sense.

I’m revisiting this two years later because I still hate the pressure that is put on people to forgive those who have hurt them. It’s nothing but a guilt trip, designed to make you feel morally deficient if you can’t bring yourself to forgive.

At its core, this expectation is rooted in religion, Christianity in particular, but it’s hardly unique to it. The idea is that forgiveness is a prerequisite for purity, for spiritual and emotional cleansing. But that’s absurd. You don’t have to forgive someone in order to let go and move on. The two are not synonymous.

Bored. So bored. My mom would get annoyed if she knew "There's so much to do in life" she'd say Yes, but there's so much to do in life.

One day I will do it You will miss me You will blame me Because I didn't stay.

One day you'll regret Every word, every lie But it won't matter I ran away.

One day we will dream Of each other We will cry our eyes out Then start all over again.

One day, one day…

Pretty flowers after therapy 🪻🌸

[presentlydean]

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Flowers in the rain

Not the best but I tried to take pictures of the flowers I saw on my walk today!

How can I actually value myself more? I feel so small and less valuable than other people.

First off, ask yourself why. If it’s strictly for comparisons, you gotta cut that down fast. I’ve been in your shoes and I’ll give you some solid advice someone gave me years ago. “Comparison is the thief of joy.” What we see on social media is often only the good things or are fabricated all together. Not everyone has a picture perfect life; in fact most people don’t. I know making comparisons is far too easy, but realize, we each have our own journey to make and if you don’t like the one you’re on, start making changes now.

Second off, if the why doesn’t actually make sense, you might realize that it’s just your mental trying to put you down (I deal with that with anxiety/depression).

Third, I’d highly suggest reaching out for therapy. Self value comes from within, but not all hope is lost.

Hope that helps. If you need to reach out again, feel free. 💚
