Everything that you perceive as beautiful and sublime, may not seem that way to me, but it does not give me the right to say that it is horrible since my perception is different from yours. Art by Jill Tascher Basham.

Claude Monet said, “Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” and Vincent Van Gogh said, “The way to know life is to love many things.” and “If I am worth something later, I am worth something now.” and Kurt Vonnegut said, “If this isn’t nice, I don't know what is.” and Fyodor Dostoevsky said, “Compassion was the most important, perhaps the sole law of human existence.” and James Wright said, “God, sometimes I am so happy I don't know what to do with me.” and I am really working on this happiness.

I get shit from people at work for wearing a pride mask with a power fist on it from time to time, weird looks, snickers, pointing and laughing, but once in a while I'll get meek little "I like your mask :)" comments from people passing by, nods and waves from others, I saw a kid with the nonbinary flag painted on their shoes shopping with their dad, a trans woman completely relaxed when she saw me, and two girls walked around holding hands, carefree. That I think. That is worth it. To let others know that they are safe.

Got any life advice?

yep

cheat in solitaire.

listen to the world.

make up your own gods and pray to them.

think about chuck e cheese.

stare at a wall.

[cuuno-moved]

don't take yourself too seriously. if you're playing solitaire, a game against yourself, there's no harm in making it easier for yourself.

i got my hearing aides today, and it astounds me what people don't talk about. they talk about the sound of the rain, or a creaky door, but not the sound of pouring milk in a glass, or the sound of a hedgehog eating, or the sound of carbonation.

genuinely just. make up your own explanation for the universe. i make up gods on the daily to explain the little things, and when im hurt or need help, i toss a prayer out into the universe. they're not real, i know that, but they're a good scapegoat for my problems.

it doesn't have to be chuck e cheese, just somewhere that brought you joy as a kid. somewhere you felt unbridled joy. someplace childhood felt potent, where you let yourself be a kid.

sometimes you just gotta let yourself go braindead. staring at a wall helps.

I think I reblog this every time it comes up. I make paper stars and sometimes it does make me feel better

[walkonmemories-deactivated20180]

i never knew how to make paper stars, so i looked up for tutorials on youtube.

when i’m lonenly, which is translated to most of the time, i make them; green, yellow, pink, blue, white, purple.

and, believe me, it’s kind of a relief to make them. not only for the colors and cute shape, but also for the fact that the time i spend makin them i am entertained and don’t have to think about my loneliness anymore.

i learnt how to make them like two months ago, by the way. and i have made over 300. 

it’s awesome.

I’ve been wanting to see this story again.

This is for everyone. Guys, girls, both, neither, and more.

When you’re upset, make a star. When you’re stressed, make a star. I make them in school when the teacher yells at our class for being lazy or dumb. I make them at home when I’m in my room, wishing someone would notice my feelings and give me comfort. I’ve always made them with whatever I had around, and write a number on each and every one because its therapeutic. I can see how far I’ve come and how many times I haven’t given up.

Right now I’m at around four-hundred and seventy, and it really puts everything into a perspective.

Thats four hundred and seventy times that I could’ve given up. I’ve gotten pretty close on some of them - scarily close, but every one of those stars is a reminder to keep pushing forward, because I wake up every day and on my dresser is a box full of stars, and when I’m happy I think of how far I’ve come.

I think this idea should be passed around as much as possible. Its calming and distracting from and panic I feel. It gives me something methodical to do: Fold here. Fold there. Crease that line. There you go, Create. Produce. Make something solid and focus on it. Make another if you need to. Write a number. Fill up the jar, box, drawer.

And when you’re breaking and feel everything crashing down, you can look at your stars and think:

“See? I made it through alright. I can give it another go.”

punkjackaboy Thanks babe ❤️ #sweetesthusbandever

[theoneandonlyespa]

I finally found the original! I’ve reblogged this once years ago and never found it again, I am SO HAPPY 😱😂😃👏👍

[naamahdarling]

I love this comic so much. And the stars … I love making these things. It’s a good way to keep your hands busy and your mind quiet when you’re in a lot of pain inside. Also, they’re really flippin’ cute.

[335am]

i actually make these and it’s super helpful

[trelleste]

Anyone have a tutorial for how to make these lil guys?

[graybloodwood]

I wasnt able to watch the video cause I’m in a park but this should do it

[soesided]

When I wad going through one of my worst depreseve times im college, away from the support system of my family, I found a bottle and filled it wish wishes. I did it to the point where i was a little annoying probably, but i needed something that wasnt school related to do. I mostly just thought about how I would try to be better ( whatever that means ) and when I reach new struggles I often think about that bottle.

So thanks op, for this comic which has done a lot for me.

hurricane love

[theatricuddles]

[ID: A comic about hurricanes. The top set of panels reads “I’ll come to you with three eyes.” The panels are a hurricane, huge waves crashing, and a person’s eye. Below, it says “(none of them will be crying)”. The next panel is a pair of hands grasping at rope captioned “I’ve figured it out.” The last panel is sunken planks with barnacles growing on them, captioned “sometimes we only love a ship for being a wreck.”

Don’t let them bury me as someone I’m not.

In the end, alive is all i know how to be.
