One day it just clicks.

You realize what's important and what isn't. You learn to care less about what other people think of you and more about what you think of yourself. You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were such a mess that they'd never recover. And then you smile. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and the person you've fought to become.

Hi, babies! I have a new jar for you today! 

If you haven’t noticed, they are my favorite things to make. They’re tiny and discreet and portable and easily fit in my pockets without causing a fuss, and no one ever knows I have one on me if I don’t want them to!

Today’s jar is an anti-anxiety jar. I have dealt with an anxiety disorder since around 8th grade, so something close to 9 years now (that makes me feel old?) This jar is an aid, not a treatment, please by no means take this as medical advice, if you are struggling with anxiety, please seek medical help to deal with it. Mine is much more mild than it used to be, so I can generally get by with practiced breathing exercises, some grounding, etc. This is another aid to that, not a replacement for medication!

So, let’s get on to it! In our bottle today– 

sea salt - for protection

bay leaf - for strength

coffee - for peace

chamomile - for relaxation/calming

sage - for mental strength & mental power

lavender - for calmness

I have the trend in my jars to layer things, I like the way it looks, but I also like it because I imagine them building on each other, and enhancing and empowering the others (kind of like what we should do with each other!)

Like always, focus that intent into each step, I like to say it out loud until I feel it in my words, remember that your words have power because YOU are powerful! Layer all those up and cork up your bottle, I like to then focus that intent for the whole bottle into it, while I’m waiting for my wax to melt and then proceed with sealing it up (I have a tutorial for wax sealing bottles here )

I love this little one, I find myself rubbing the wax top when I begin to get stressed if it’s in my pocket (it feels like I’m kind of ‘activating’ it).

I hope this was helpful, babies!

You can find my other jars here!

my favorite offering for the dead is lemon poppy seed baked goods.

poppy seeds = sleep and peace, to give them rest

lemon = healing and purification, to bring them peace and allow me to leave gently without being followed.

🌷 Nothing is wrong with you only because you do not fit in people's idea of "normality"

🌷 You are not hard to love

🌷 Changing your interests/ hobbies/ personality is nothing negative. Neither is changing your mind on something

🌷 You are wanted and appreciated on this planet

🌷 It is okay to eat, you deserve tasty foods

🌷 You are allowed to say "no" to anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, especially when it effects your body. Your body belongs to you, to you only and you are the one that sets the boundaries and decides

🌷 Having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about and does not change your worth

🌷 Being physically or mentally disabled is nothing to be ashamed about and does not change your worth

🌷 You are perfect the way you are and I love you like that!

🌷 Take a deep breath. Everything will find a good ending.

there probably is something to be said about the unhealthy pressure put on bisexuals to analyse not only like, the validity of our bisexuality but also the minute ways we experience our attraction. like, do you have a gender preference or not? do you lean towards men or women? do you feel attraction to different genders in different ways? surely your attraction is based on highly gendered stereotypes. do you like gnc people? do you like masc or fem presenting people? etc, etc

and it leads us to over scrutinise and fracture our sexuality in ways we shouldn’t have to. not to mention, the ways we define and describe ourselves has to meet some measure of being progressive enough before its acceptable, and that measure changes depending on the community you’re in. it doesn’t lead to a healthy view of ourselves or other bisexual people. bisexuality is already a whole sexuality and despite assurances to the contrary, it’s obvious that a lot of people can’t wrap their heads around that. simply because they still see men and women as completely divorced from each other and struggle to know how attraction to both can function as a whole.

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.

This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.
