“Every time you think you are broken, know this: you are never really breaking. No one can break an ocean, darling, all you are doing, is breaking the glass that is holding you back, diving deeper into your own depths, discovering yourself in pockets of the most somber waves, rebuilding your heart with coral, with seaweed, with moon coloured sand dust. So stop trying to hold yourself back inside that glass, it was never meant to hold you. Instead, break it, shatter it into a thousand pieces…and become who you were always meant to be, an ocean, proud and whole.”

— Nikita Gill, The Ocean You

“Sometimes, a bad day turns into a bad week, which finally becomes a bad month, which ends up leading to generalized bad times. And you struggle. You feel like you’ve been thrown into a battlefield you did most certainly not ask for. But you are here. And you have to keep fighting. Sometimes, staying alive is like taking a spoon of the medicine you hate the most. This syrup solution is bitter, hard to swallow and straight up disgusting so you block your nose with the other hand and drink it anyways because you have no other options. The same thing happens here. When you don’t want to fight anymore because you are just so tired, all you have to do is to blindly trust you’re gonna make it out alive. You have to keep fighting. Even if you are crawling on the floor. I don’t care, you’ve got to keep fighting. Life goes on after death, you will go on after bad times. I swear.”

Hey so uh,

As a trans guy who’s been working out for a few years now and has learned a lot about their body and building muscle and whatnot in the process, here’s something I don’t see mentioned, like ever. 

Abs don’t really look Like That™ when they’re relaxed.

Here’s a few examples from a Reddit thread asking for pictures of people both flexing and not flexing their abs

I rarely see male body positivity posts in general but I’ve never seen this mentioned, and honestly? Call me stupid for it if you want, but I genuinely thought that super defined look was something that was achievable in a relaxed state, simply because I’ve never seen anything to the contrary. 

As someone with body dysmorphia as well as dysphoria, you can imagine the damaging effects that might have had on my mental health trying by to achieve the impossible. I can only imagine how many other masculine folk out there could be struggling with the exact same thing.

Anyway like, this is mostly to point out for masculine folks that might be pushing themselves too hard, that you’re probably doing better than you realise.

Anecdotal stuff aside, this is an important thing for artists to remember as well! This is something I never realised despite being an artist that goes to figure drawing classes on the regular and having modelled for them myself- because of course people with abs are flexing for the poses! I was doing it too! - Admin Pasta

Bodies actively being posed and relaxed bodies look VASTLY different and that’s ok! There’s nothing wrong about the natural and relaxed look of your body, it’s still just as wonderful

Honestly I don’t understand how extroverted people even exist??? Going 23 diff places every day?? Then going out every night?? What are you all even doing?? Go to bed.

[worndownwriter-blog]

Do you know what it’s like to be suicidal? Really, really think about that, to legitimately be thinking about doing it. To wake up every morning wondering if this is the day or not. Do you know what it’s like to have a shirt picked out to be the one you’d like to die in? Do you really know what it’s like to be so lost, so hopeless, and so broken that fucking killing yourself seems like the best idea? I don’t think you do. I can write page after page describing my pain to you, but that aspect, that part, I don’t think you’ll ever understand.

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.

For someone who is tired 100% of the time, I sure am bad at sleeping.

[alaskaisnothere]

i’m always thinking, that never stops. even when i’m lying in bed, relaxing, my mind is travelling at speed light trying to fill every second. i don’t know why i do that, maybe it’s a twisted way to avoid loneliness or maybe it’s a sick need to be productive all the time. probably, it’s both.

“the face mask says to close your eyes and relax for ten minutes,” she reads. 

“i can’t,” i say, “i don’t know how.”

it’s funny because it’s true but it’s not funny because it’s true, isn’t that the best part of the joke. i live constantly waiting at the bottom of a flinch, like if i uncoil a little someone will step on my tail. whenever i start feeling happy i stab long fingers into the holes of it; make sure that nobody can ruin it but me. the rug has been pulled out from under me maybe one too many times; i fear the falling. the belly-pit realization that you’ve been silly, foolish, trusted fate too deeply. that you actually, for a moment, thought “okay, i can be happy.”

but i’m learning. i put the facemask on. and i say: i’ll make my own happy. and i will survive even if bad things happen to me. i’ve survived worse. i’ve survived plenty. i’m learning. i’m learning.

I want to choose myself I want so desperately to be able to love this body, it’s love of life, the way it heals I want so desperately to be able to choose to love my mind and its rollercoaster years I want to choose myself But if the chance came along I’d choose you Quicker than your acceptance of a goodbye I should’ve never spoken
