If the right way is too hard, fuck it. Do it the wrong way.

Folding clothes keeps you from getting the laundry done? Stop folding clothes. Put a basket in your room and throw your unfolded clean stuff into it right out of the dryer, it's fine.

Rinsing dishes off keeps you from loading the dishwasher? Load them dirty and run it twice.

Chopping onions keeps you from making yourself dinner? Buy the freezer bags of chopped onions.

You forget to take your meds and don't want to get out of bed to get them? Start putting them next to the bed.

Can't keep up with the dishes? Get paper plates. Worried about environment impact? Order biodegradable ones online if your local store doesn't have one.

Make the task easier. Put things where you use them instead of where they "go." Eliminate the steps that keep you from finishing the task. Eliminate the task that is stressing you out.

Do it the "wrong" way. It's literally fine.

I refuse to apologize for being soft—let me fall in love with life. let me sing and speak to my house-plants, let me dance in my bedroom with headphones, let me read by my windowsill when it’s pouring outside. let me stroke my friend’s face and say something sappy. let me be unapologetically happy for the little things that make my day better. life’s too short anyway, at least let me love it every step of the way

i understand where these “be careful wearing your binder” posts are coming from, but y’all, i think we need to be a bit more alarmist about this. if you are sick, ever, even with the common cold, you should not bind during or immediately after being sick. right now, especially if you’re self-monitoring for symptoms, you should not be binding unless it is a safety issue.

i know dysphoria sucks but it’d be a hell of a lot worse for you to experience heightened symptoms and be at higher risk—particularly in a time where health care resources are limited. i don’t bind regularly anyway for health reasons but i’m definitely not doing so until after the coronavirus situation calms down, and we as a community need to seriously promote pausing binding to the extent that is at all safely possible

Y'all, sometimes it's not your trauma or the disorder or the way you process information. Sometimes you're just in the wrong and you could have behaved better. Sometimes you're just a dickhead and you gotta recognize it and own it.

Knowing the difference is tough, but it really does help you on the road to recovery or on the road to managing your symptoms. Taking the time to recognize that in myself helps me know when I can give more or when I really do need help and understanding. Sometimes we are just assholes and that's when you gotta go "I'm sorry, what can I do moving forward?" And in that asking? You get to explain where you need help.

THIS.

the universe will not give you more unless you can handle what you already have. honor and take responsibility for what you already have. rise to the challenges of your current reality in order to elevate to the next. if you want more, you have to be ready for more. 

[inahiddenplace]

sometimes u just gotta say “okey dokey” and just like.. rely on urself.. take things as impersonally as u can.. love and let go.. move on.. try and find all the good things, soak those in. and that’s all u can do! and sometimes, that’s enough

Tips for the Dark Half of the Year

Winter is coming quickly. A lot of people see this time of year as bleak, depressing, or just boring. Here are some tips to stay attuned to nature during these months.

❄️ Go outside. Even if it’s cold, the trees are bare, and the only colors are muted and dull. We often think that summer is the only time to enjoy the outdoors—the only time to hike, meditate outside, etc. In winter, there are no lush green trees or balmy days filled with sunshine and the smell of flowers. While summer is intoxicating, winter is a time to contemplate and reflect. Go outside. Feel the cold. Feel the mud and the dead grass and the chilly wind. Listen to how quiet it is. Understand that the dark half of the year is a time of silence, stillness, and death. It’s natural to have an aversion to these things, but take some time to sit down and just listen. Breathe. Feel the reality of silence and death around you. It’s a sobering experience, but also a very insightful one. If you have any fear of death or quiet, now is the time to go sit with those things as they appear in nature and just meditate with them.

❄️ Eat cozy foods. It’s cold outside—warm up with hearty soups, stews, homemade bread, and root veggies. Warm spices and hot drinks will keep you feeling grounded. This is a wonderful time of year to practice kitchen witchcraft—focus on coziness, family, protection, and rest.

❄️ Study magic! The Dark Half of the year is devoted to self-reflection, rest, and contemplation. Snuggle up indoors with a fluffy blanket and devote some time to studying magic and witchcraft with a hot cup of magically-brewed tea.

❄️ Think spirits are sleeping along with all the greenery? Think again! The Dark Half of the year, in many cultures and spiritual traditions, is considered extremely spiritually active. Deities like Odin, Berchta, Hekate, and spirits such as elves and ghosts are very active this time of year. You can choose to honor them if you want, or practice various spirit-working techniques. If you’re into necromancy or divination, this is a wonderful time of year for those things.

❄️ Be kind to local wildlife by installing things like bird feeders outside your home. We modern humans may have an easy time of it in winter, but animals struggle to survive during these months. Any bit of kindness will be much appreciated.

❄️ Nurture your fire energy. During winter, it’s easy to internalize the cold and take on its characteristics—sluggishness, sleepiness, a foggy-headed feeling. Some crystals that are great for winter include golden rutilated quartz (aka Venus hair), citrine, carnelian, obsidian, and garnet. All of these crystals contain a strong fire element as well as offer grounding qualities, mental clarity, and protection.

❄️ Go out and forage for magical ingredients! Melted snow is extremely purifying and can be incorporated into spells for purification and cleansing. Icicles can serve as temporary wands, especially in spells that require a strong water element. The ash from bonfires (or hearth fires) can be used to make black salt. Fallen branches can be crafted into wands. There may be nothing growing this time of year, but you can get creative and still find magical ingredients in unexpected places. Just be respectful and don’t collect from places where it’s illegal!

This is by no means a comprehensive list—these are just some ways I’ve celebrated the colder months. I hope they’re helpful in any way!

i want to take care of you, softly.

to run a bath for you, wash your hair and body. pressing little kisses to your shoulderblades and neck. hushing you in gentle tones, telling you how much you mean to me and how much i adore you. 

to languidly trace patterns over your back and chest with tender touches and to dry you off with a big, soft towel, get you into my clothes and comfortable undies, humming a soft melody. to kiss my way along your body, taking my time on the spots that deserve some extra loving.

to make a cup of tea before i let you lay in my arms, covered in a blanket and your face hidden in the crook of my neck while i stroke the top of your head. i want to murmur sweet nothings in your ear until you drift asleep.

the high priestess: you’re probably really pretty and you kNOW things!!! how!!!

the empress: you’re so … full of love… probably really good with plants and animals… when you talk people listen and are probably a lil awed

the emperor: OKAY MR. ENTJ CAPRICORN… just kidding but seriously? you aim for efficiency and work hard, really hard, and that’s awesome

the hierophant: you’re into pope cosplays. more seriously, also you’re this mixture of grounded yet whimsical, which is so desirable.

the lovers: oh, you’re the hopeless romantic, the lovelorn poet, the one with the pretty eyelashes and winsome look. GO YOU

justice: you love old paintings and grapes and reading philosophy… probably the most informed about politics in ur circle

death: you’re authentic and genuine and moved by emotions, you’re not afraid to dig deep, your eyes are enchanting…

temperance: you’re a real life angel… or try to be, which is the same thing imo. you’re very sincere, your heart is soft, you deserve everything

the devil: a little edgy, but that’s alright in my book. you’re not afraid of your shadow side, so you’ve actually probably integrated it into yourself better than others. you’re charismatic.

the tower: you’ve been through a lot, but each time you try again, and that’s so amazing, and incredible?? you’re so strong!! go, you! whatever happens, you’ve got this.

the star: to be cliche, you really do shine so bright. you’re lovely and multidimensional and move through life like it’s a dance

the moon: you’re into poetry and black and white pictures and old love songs. or rather, you embody them. you’re so special and worth knowing.

the sun: you’re such a strong presence, you have a lot of backbone and beliefs, others look forward to you arriving at the party the most. you just want light and comfort, and that’s so human.

judgement: you’re trying so hard to level up, to be your best self, and you know what? you’ll get there. it’ll be fine. trust yourself because you’re incredible.

the world: you probably have an incredible, rich voice. you’ve got a lot to teach others, a lot of experiences to share, don’t doubt yourself, what you have to say is worth a lot.
