Congratulations, you made it halfway to Halloween! Halfoween is the day when next Halloween appears on the horizon before us and the last one disappears behind. Bake some cookies tonight and start planning, because from now on, it’s getting closer each day!

My boyfriend is depressing and it depresses me and I’ve gained 25 lbs and I want to DIE. I just wanna live my life again without financially supporting BOTH OF US

“I wanted to prove that I was myself, but I wasn’t anybody. I was fluid. Yes, that’s the word. Fluid. Never taking a shape for long, just trying on shapes.”

— Agatha Christie, Ordeal by Innocence (via antigonick)

I can’t believe the places my body has been and the dirt my feet have touched and the water my skin has waded through

self love practices

Therapy Bodywork Masturbation (‘an orgasm a day keeps the nothing away’) Tarot Meditation Shifting relationship to food Learning to say no in real time Unstructured time to feel myself, follow my intuition   Acupuncture Notice when I feel alive and happy Give myself permission to grow old Recognize my body is all I have Celebrate self love in self and others Jomo…cultivate the joy of missing out Self love day!  (Baba’s day – insert your name!) Sleeping in late Waking up early and being quiet Silent walks Dancing Decaf life No meeting Wednesdays (or whatever day you choose) Grow more food Care for injuries Don’t hate, collaborate Delegate Trust my intuition Being in spaces with my community that cultivate healing Spending time by the water Singing to myself Working out Playing sports Dancing and playing music Finding a tree in my neighborhood Read more books Free writing daily, or often Less Internet Cook Work with clay Good one on one interactions Prayer Making home a safe space Animal love Feeling land and air Let myself be danced by another Have good sex Making out for a really (really) long time Put hands in the dirt

Go forth and love ????????????

(from adrienne maree brown, “self love as a liberatory practice for the future”)
