that lizzo quote about loving yourself as a tactic of survival

yeah

[imprintedintent]

Today I am beyond thankful just to be alive, to breathe. To be able to stand up and walk because I know what it’s like to barely be able to get out of bed just to go to the bathroom.

I’m thankful for every strand of hair on my body, every eyelash and every body hair because I now know what it’s like to live without it.

I am thankful for the ability to touch things and feel because I lived for months without the ability to feel the warmth of my lovers skin against my fingers or the softness of my cat’s fur.

I am thankful that my body has carried me through this hell thus far.

I’ll be thankful for each bite of food I enjoy today because for months I threw up everything I ate, and the chemo made everything taste bitter or rotten.

I am thankful for my support system, the people who carry me through this, who help me even when I’m the being biggest bitch in the world.

Thankful for the tears, because they remind me that I’m human.

Thankful for each breath I take, even when I so desperately just want to disappear.

Thankful for the pain, because it reminds me that I’m alive.

But mainly— I’m just thankful to be alive 🖤

- S. Blei

Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.

I often don’t say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you’d never guess from looking at me.
