Bodies aren’t meant as a way to determine your worth, aren’t supposed to be a spectacle to be judged by .Their purpose is more rooted in the depths of being, and existing. We shouldn’t only respect our bodies for their aesthetic beauty, we should respect them for all that they do to help us in existing. The hunger we feel is to make sure we eat and nourish ourselves, honour your body for providing you with this function. The ache in your body after a workout is reminding you that it’s time to rest and recover, honour your body for knowing it’s limits. There are so many wondrous things your body does that we must grow to appreciate. Body positivity shouldn’t only exist on the premise that they are beautiful, but in the greatness that these bodies are ours.

Relationships aren’t all meant to last forever. Consider each shortlived love, even the ones which lasted longer, as providing you with something that helps you move on in life. Consider the friendship which only lasted for your elementary days as the baseline to your story. Consider the one week friendship at sleep away camp a moment you needed to advance. These relationships are just as important as the ones which will always be there, these are for your character development, they will provide you with the experience you need to develop into more of a human being.

Your room should be a space for you, never supposed to meet someone else’s standards. Paint the walls bright or dark, and cover them with posters of your favourite albums and images. Spritz perfume to cover the dullness, or light candles on top of your nightstand. Hoard stickers, and pins, and patches, and anything that makes you smile. Leave receipts to your gas station orders on sleepovers underneath your drawers , and take them out when you feel lonely. Put a Bluetooth speaker so you can listen to your music loudly as you get ready. Leave piles of clothes in your closet that you need to organize and decide which ones to keep, but knowing it’s too difficult because you love every and each. This is your room, it only is meant to please you. Fill it with love and comfort, and throw away all the papers covered in words you don’t want to hear. Remember to shut the door when you sleep. This is your room.

There is warmth in the slightest things. Find it nestled within the creases of your blankets, the computer after playing an hour long movie, a hint in the smile you give, and so much more love in the way you cozy up.

It becomes difficult to try to romanticize every aspect of your life, as it becomes difficult to even do things. So maybe, instead of making your mundane tasks into a movie scene because it’s not working anymore, just try to do things with the pleasure that it’s good for you. Making food knowing that it’s nourishing and will make you feel better, cleaning your room knowing that your mind will feel cleaner too, washing the dishes for your parents knowing that it makes them happy. It doesn’t have to be romanticized, just appreciated.

comforting activity - take your favourite song, one with lyrics close and comforting to you, and write down all of the lyrics on a paper. Make it pretty, customize it how you want it, add doodles in the corner, highlight your favourite lyrics, write the letters small and some big. and just keep it, I hope you’re proud of it.

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

Mental health activism makes attempts to normalize mental illness. However it doesn’t erase the stigma of the symptoms. They reduce anxiety to being shy, and depression to listening to sad music all the time. The ugly symptoms are still treated with a sense of disgust, and the behaviours are met with willful ignorance not to care. Mental health activism as it is today, will fail to address these issues.

Another thing to add, it will only attempt to normalize anxiety or depression, as long as it’s socially acceptable. It will not help with the stigma against personality disorders, mood disorders, and etc.

I hate how so many people encourage positivity, constantly. Positivity is good, yes, but an anxious/depressed person doesn’t need to be told to be positive. They need support, they need love, they need comfort. Positivity cannot be forced upon someone, it will come naturally when they finally feel safe and okay enough. Just be there for the person, and provide them the warmth they need to get by in their struggling moments.

activity to maybe do: create a little character sheet for your issues/mental illness. Give it a name, a form, describe it as having needs to tend to, describe it as having a personality, get to know it. whenever you are struggling with your issues, think about it as though you are talking to it, and trying to figure out what needs need to be met for it to feel better. Treat it as a friend you’re caring for.

sending so much love to everyone who feels like they’re never chosen as the best friend, as the partner, as the favorite. sending love to all of you who have been treated and felt like second best. sending love to all of you who have felt rejected and unwanted. to all of you who have had to try really hard to fit in because you felt like you never will. 

you are so loved. you will be seen and heard by the right people. you can trust that you are valuable and not defined by other people’s perceptions of you. if someone doesn’t see your worth, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

What if, and hear me out, people DO love you

Your coworker who loves when they get to work a shift with you, even if you don’t talk

Your cousin who’s relieved when they see you at family gatherings, who thinks you’re “the cool cousin” but hasn’t said anything out loud

Your classmate who thinks you have great taste, even if they’re too shy to speak up about it in class

Your childhood friends who remember you fondly

The waiter you tipped during a busy night

That person you complimented on the street

The little kid you waved to

The old woman you made small talk with

People love you, because you’re lovable. And you’re worthy of love. Even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes

(Self depreciating comments will be removed at best, bluntly and remorselessly told to shut the fuck up at worst. Fuck around. I dare you.)
