delete the people that make you feel bad about yourself from your life, unfollow them, delete their numbers, erase their texts, find happier people, pet a dog, watch a silly movie, forget about them, you’re better off

Update 7/5/19

So it's been awhile but I'm back! I had to step away from this blog due to getting a job and starting college.

So I've been a little busy.

Also in this process I torn a ligament in my foot and found out that I will need to wear special braces on my ankles so it won't happen again. I've always had weak ankles and now I know the reason why.

I found the perfect workout and I just got cleared to go swimming! I have a insane fear of being in a pool by myself, but I did it! I jumped in and started doing laps.

And boy was I scared, but fear is great motivation to get things done.

Excited to see where things take me ❤️❤️

Keep going because you will recover. Eventually the world won’t seem so horrible, you’ll enjoy things like you used to and have actual hobbies, and you’ll feel excited for your future. You deserve to be here to see it happen.

Update 1/25/19

I haven't been on here much due to my mental health. I recently moved away from home for the first time and have been having a difficult time adjusting.

But now I'm feeling like the old me.

During my move I gained all the weight I lost back. I'm now at 210 again and never felt more disappointed in myself.

But that just means I have a little more work to be done.

DO NOT DISMISS SOMETHING A CHILD IS PROUD OF. LOOK AT IT. POINT SOMETHING OUT AND TELL THEM YOU LOVE IT. IF A CHILD DRAWS YOU A RAINBOW, TELL THEM YOU LOVE HOW IT HAS RED. THEY WILL THINK “WOW. IT DOES HAVE RED. THEY LOVE HOW I PUT RED IN IT. I PUT RED IN IT. AND THEY NOTICED.” MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD KNOWS YOU ARE PROUD OF THEM.

Black kids dont get this privilege. Even as adults.

[goldensweetcheeks-deactivated20]

My brother doesn’t do this with his kids and it breaks my heart to see their excited little faces turn into a frown. So I make sure I hype their shit ALL THEE WAY UP because it will literally cost 0.00 dollars to gas them but it’s priceless to see their faces light up and run off and create more shit.

Alright so since we don’t do it let’s start doing it.

still healing from things I don’t speak about

[batwizard]

self-harm is (but not limited to):

• making yourself sleep deprived • making yourself cold (not wearing warm clothes in the winter, sleeping without a blanket etc) • not eating • not drinking • eating too much • not looking before crossing the street • scratching • letting your skin be dry & break easily • picking at skin • over-exercising • substance abuse • over-working yourself • making yourself go out and do things even though you’re exhausted • putting yourself in anxiety-inducing situations (even if you have a choice to stay out of them) • triggering yourself • purposefully angering someone who you know will yell at you • entering relationships you don’t want to be in/being around people you don’t want to be around • having sex when you don’t want to • setting yourself punishments • not giving yourself time • not letting yourself spend time with the people you love & know will be good to you

stop assuming that self-harm is visible and easy to notice.

[shybiviolet-blog]

Oh my goodness I actually didn’t know that a lot of things on this list counted as self harm. Like I will do a lot of those when I’m upset or angry at myself, but I’ll just frame it in my head as “not doing nice stuff for myself because I don’t deserve it” instead of “not doing really important things like eating because I’m angry/sad/scared and want to be self-destructive”

Thanks very much for this, this is something I need to remember when I’m struggling.

People need to know this

childhood trauma is so weird because you grow up to find out that stuff that happened wasn’t okay and suddenly memories come back and you realize how it really messed you up on the inside

Thinking of making an Etsy account for my felt art. Would anyone be interested if I made an account??
