life ain't worth it, but you are.

just hold on one more day. something could happen that might change your mind.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

(in case no one has said this to you in a while) i am proud of you for continuing to exist when it feels impossible

[youngerfrankenstein]

To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

[thoradvice]

there will always be other chances. at jobs, at educational progress, at relationships, at friendships. if you messed up at something, it’s not the end of the world. you’ll always have new opportunities in all areas of life.

[hold-on-a-bit-longer]

Happy 2025. You made it through 2024. Through all the ups and downs and the 'should-i's, you did it. Be proud of yourself. I am.

[randomreasonstolive]

Hey y'all, N here

I hate doing this, but as an American with a partner who has cancer, I have to do what I can currently to make sure we don't end up unhoused.

We don't have enough for next month's rent. I am on disability, but they're holding up my payments because of an error on their part that makes them think C has been working, when he hasn't. I am fighting hard to make them fix it, but it still hasn't been, over a month later.

Because of that, I must once again humbly ask y'all for your help. This especially sucks with the holiday season coming to a close.

We love you all so much and are so thankful for every single one of you. Even if you don't interact with our posts, we still love you. We're all on this wild ride together and you deserve love as much as anyone else.

Our paypal is [email protected]

(If you would like us to pay you back when we get funds, we can absolutely arrange that. Just know that we aren't 100% how long that will be.)

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

[shesgotwhatittakes]

Here it is again with text for anyone who can’t see the picture

That thought isn’t helpful right now.

Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.

This is irrational. I’m going to let it go.

I won’t argue with an irrational thought.

This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.

This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn’t.

I don’t have to be perfect to be OK.

I don’t have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.

It’s OK to make mistakes.

I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.

I have to take risks in order to be free. I’m willing to take this risk.

It’s OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to pay attention to it.

I’m ready to move on now.

I can handle being wrong.

I don’t have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.

That’s not my responsibility.

That’s not my problem.

I’ve done the best I can.

It’s good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.

That's it. That's the dream. I'm almost mad that that's the dream.

[fuckyeahsnackables]

That's half the dream. The other half is being fairie fucking godmother to everyone on the planet.

See, I had 100k for a hot minute. Doesn't matter why. But for nearly a calendar year, I picked up the tab every chance I got, i lavished people with gifts, I took a friend to Greece, I paid for healthcare for myself and a few other people, for lawyers to help someone get out of an abusive marriage, Christmas presents for a single mom of 3.

It felt incredible. Just to take away the worry and say, "I've got you." Instacart groceries to a grieving friend of a friend across town. Pay the unexpected car repairs. Gift a young artist a yearlong subscription to Procreate.

That's why I'll never understand billionaires. If you could fix it, if money could actually make even one life better, why would you not do it? Even just for the kick? Hell, i don't care if it feeds your ego. Be Tony Stark, be Superman, idgaf. When you'll never be able to spend all that you have, even if you some up every damn day like it was your job, if you could end world hunger six times over for the price of a social media company, why wouldn't you just DO IT?

I don't have a coherent conclusion to this, except that if I ever meet Jeff Bezos, I'll beat him to death with my bare fists.

some of my personal 2025 resolutions

mourn

grieve

start fresh in every way possible

see more places

look at things from different angles

return to a sense of childlike wonder

find parts of myself i’ve hidden away for other people’s comfort

remember that i am not alone in this world without needing constant reminders

[hiveswap]

man this year is gonna be the year i either die or become someone else i dont know which one maybe both

[hiveswap]

Everytime i think of the future i nearly throw up

[wrecked-cuticles]

hate to say it but the cow is right

[hiveswap]

Oh plush cow we're really in it now

[snazzymolasses]

I don't know why, but I find it even more comforting to look at it this way:

[michellepsychologist]

The holidays can be stressful

[ryanlewisandclark]

i cannot hate myself into a version of me i will love.

[ryanlewisandclark]

i cannot punish myself in any way that will unmake the past.
