if you can’t eat a whole meal, eat half. you ate, that’s what is important.

if you can’t get out of bed, try and sit up instead of lying down. it’ll be better for your back and your blood pressure.

if you can’t shower or have a bath today, try and brush your teeth and clean your ears. it’ll keep you a little cleaner, and we often forget those areas. 

if you can’t get dressed today, change underwear and use some deoderant. it’ll leave you a little fresher until you have the strength to change fully.

and remember, i’m very proud of you. your best will look different every day, and that’s okay.

THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING

if it’s worth doing, it’s worth half doing. some is bette than none. you won’t always be able to do it all, but you can always make work.

if you can’t do your laundry, move it to somewhere out of the walkway.

if you can’t finish your homework, do a few problems to at least get partial credit.

lrb !!! life was good to me today !!!

reasons why:

☆ i felt pretty in my skin many thanks to the lil bow on my jumper. my makeup was complimented too c':

☆ i ate rly good food :p creamy flavorful cheese chicken & potatoes!!! strawberry & mango bingsu!!! chocolate seashells!!! SALTED CARAMEL COFFEEEEE

☆ i basically spent lots of time with my family. revisiting old memories by reuniting with a relative. making new ones by taking nice pictures of each other under the afternoon sky. nostalgia & promises blending beautifully tgt when we stopped by the farm we used to go to as kids. the radiant star herself appearing in my tarot reading of the general vibes of our would-be getaway farm:

"This is a card of balance that promises a moment of peace. After a long journey, the road can wait for a while. The maiden of the Star offers her spiritual healing gifts, freely pouring out the Waters of Life." ☆

☆ the thought that its ok to do things bit by bit instead of not doing them at all. i tried singing a few songs i was thinking of my bday cover & even if nothing clicked that much yet its ok!! i havent touched my songs of the day playlist since feb but i added new ones to it today & its ok!!

my lola was right. the universe will find a way to bring love to u always !!! <3

[cheruib]

the world is so beautiful by the way. and it will knock u off your feet time and time again. like an old love u forgot about it will meet you in the middle when everything else is so blurry and doesn’t really make sense and it will bring you to where you thought you would never find your way back. it will show u time and time again there’s beauty there’s joy there’s life in everything and that sometimes losing it is the right way to finding it

first post & its a diary entry. i think i might be breaking some internet safety rules here. sorry dad

i wanted to post somewhere where id see a timestamp bcs what do i have if not the need to document as it happens every thought. feeling. memory memory memory (& u kno the rare accompanying energy to actually... do that). of all the social media i have (& am barely on lol) tumblr seemed like a good idea for some reason. so here i am blessing(?) the new main blog with ye olde thoughts!!

its almost the middle of the year like damn alr a week into may but still i felt compelled to write a lil thing even if i (...again) failed to keep up with daily diary entries after january. weirdly enough the reason was that i had a rly nice midnight shower. warm. gentle. unhurried. the likes of lizzy mcalpine, searows, niki, & phoebe bridgers as bgm

ig i dont get to sit in my pleasant feelings much. & i just want to rmbr a time when i did :)

today's fav things:

☆ still deciding what song to sing for my bday cover :o i was originally planning to do my all time fav song (which will be my lil secret first heh) but,,, idk if its the mercury retrograde effect lol but i thought i wanted to do smth more raw this time? unpolished. heartfelt. not too high effort & processed. ig i want it to be a reflection of one of my wishes for myself as i turn another year older: that i allow myself to do more things even without thinking abt them too much that i get paralyzed

☆ SPEAK NOW TV ON JULY 7TH HELLO????? im so excited for every track even the ones from the vault goddddd but probably long live especially 🥺

☆ ate my fav famous bowl fully loaded meal & turon !!!!!

☆ found & saved a bunch of new songs from clara benins small town song radio. fav from those is nikis backburner <3 maybe im just not better than this, i havent tried. maybe lifes less romantic when i dont wanna die

i have to be somewhere in 6 hours. i slep

whatever was left, that was ours for a while.

okay but saying “i wish i had known you sooner” — like the love in my heart is growing so big and fast for you that i wish i had the opportunity to have you way earlier by my side, because i want to love you longer than i can do now. my love for you reaches my past and makes a place for you.

look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good

[darkandstormyslash]

There was an experiment a professor did. I think it was pottery students. He did an experiment of “quality” vs “quantity”. One half of the class he told; you have to make as many pots as possible. Good pots, bad pots, shitty pots, whatever. The more pots you make, the higher your grade.

The other half of the class were told, “you can make only one pot”. But that pot had to be perfect. The quality had to be high; the highest quality pot would get the best mark.

But when it came to the grading, they noticed something weird.

All the best quality pots were in the ‘quantity’ group.

The guys who were literally churning out pots, trying to make as many as possible, not concentrating on the quality. But every pot they made, made them better at making pots. By the end of the month (I think it was a month) - they had some pretty awesome pots coming out, because they enjoying finding all the ways and all the things they could do to make all their pots. Where as the ‘quality’ guys had spent their time reading up on pots, and technique, and researching and planning; which was all great but they’d had no further practice at actually making pots.

The best way to get really good at something, the only way to be really good at something, is to make lots of shitty attempts at that thing several of which will fail. If all you create are perfect things then you won’t improve, because how can you improve on perfect?

tl:dr MAKE YOUR SHITTY POTS.

[vhsvulpes]

AMEN this goes for anything too!!! drawing, painting, sewing, knitting you name it. Its so much better to just do the thing your working on, shitty or not it takes less of a toll on you to just finish a thing than to worry about fucking it up first time.

[marlynnofmany]

It’s the pottery anecdote! I’ve told SO many people about this over the last few years!

Writing a bunch of stuff that Doesn’t Matter is the number-one best thing I can advise any writer to do. It’s fun, it’s easy, and it’s practice that doesn’t feel like work. Just like the students, if you focus all your attention on polishing one story, you’ll be left far behind by the others who are gleefully tossing off whimsical ideas left and right.

Have some fun. There are no downsides.

I went out with 3 of my friends today. I found a place that claimed to have wheelchair accessible walks, and we went off the path, and my wheelchair got stuck a thousand times.

We laughed so hard, and they pushed me (I can’t propel myself very far) and we took photos and we laughed more and we went through mud and fine sand and thistles, and then we ate croissants at a café and when we got back to the car we had ice cream and

I wish I could go back to my child self and show them this day. I wish I could say, One day you’ll be part of things and people will be glad to have you around, and they won’t complain about pushing you up a steep grade or through a bog, and they will want to hear your shitty jokes and when you gasp and say LOOK A BABY BUNNY they will stop to look and it will be exactly as magical as you’re imagining now.

You can find a place where you’re appreciated and loved and supported. You can. I believe it.

[cripple-punk-dad]

I went to a carnival with my friends the other day, and even though my shoulder was dislocated all of them were willing to push me wherever we went, and when they went on the rides I couldn’t go on, I sat and took pictures of them so we could all remember the day. I bought cheesy dinosaur shirts and we all found matching cow shirts. We went through the fair and found little Lego sets that we all loved, and when I got overwhelmed all of them were willing to find a quiet spot to sit and relax in. Even when I started having a tic attack, we left very quickly and got pizza.

I really needed this post to remind me that it’s easiest to feel like you’re a burden when people treat you like a burden. But I promise you’re not, you’ll find people who want you around.

[bostonbakeddeans]

I bought a house with my partner. I am allowed to paint the walls exactly the way I want them painted, in exactly the order I want them painted. I put up the painter’s tape myself and I pull it down (so satisfying). I decide if the walls need another coat or if a spot needs touching up, and I am not shamed or berated for my “pickiness”. In fact, my partner walks in and says “wow, it looks amazing in here. Great job, handsome.” He does not touch me when I am sweaty and sore, but waits until I have had my shower and come back to myself.

The food in our cupboards is food I will eat - or at least our cupboards contain nothing I hate and am expected to eat anyway. There is always something to snack on for when food is Bad and eating is Hard. There are no doors on the cupboards, the better to remember that food exists and can be accessed easily.

There are soft things everywhere. The lights are kept low and soon we will put up fairy lights for supplemental lighting. My sensory needs are met and respected, and I am safe.

My partner puts my walker in his car and drives me places - and does not object when I would rather be the one driving, relinquishes control as easily as breathing. He checks to make sure I am okay, that I am not pushing too hard; he believes me when I say I can or cannot do something. He slows down to keep pace when I am tired or in pain, and never, ever rushes me.

You will build a home some day, and it will be just as beautiful and safe as mine.

[tired-and-healing]

I now live in a place where there is no screaming or yelling. I no longer walk on eggshells by simply existing in my own home. There is no more pressure on me to sacrifice my limited energy to do more because there is no desperate need for me to escape.

The dishes are allowed to stay in the sink overnight and the world does not explode if the bathroom is not cleaned top-to-bottom weekly before Sunday evening. My roommate and partner believes me when I say I cannot do something, and I feel safe and comfortable to ask for help when I need it.

I am unlearning the involuntary hesitation of inviting people to my home, and learning that it’s okay to let people in even if their time in my life is only temporary.

I never would have been able to imagine this as a teenager, or even through college. It does get better. It’s worth hanging around for.

after i lost all my friends two years ago, i didnt think id ever find people who liked me like them. yesterday me and my new friends lied in bed in a big cuddling pile listening to music. i found out they all carry painkillers just incase i ever need them. they ask if im feeling up to long walks and always have alternative plans set up if im too tired. they dont force me to speak, dont force me to walk, offer me headphones if im overwhelmed, listen to me ramblel abt my interests, and are generally the best group of people ive ever met

i know theres still a long way to go before im an adult, but for now, things dont seem half so bad anymore.

Love of my life fr fr

[tacticsweet]

dragon age. man. alistair comes in swinging, dude.

he's all wit, all earnestness. he's a warrior and he hasn't had an easy life, but despite some layers of irony, he's incredibly frank with his emotions. that is totally not what i expected from an older game. he grieves freely and he loves profusely. he's a hero in a very typical mode but he also isn't. he's not macho or drawn toward leadership. his strength resides in both staunchness of principle and in an open-mindedness that lets him look upon a stricken world to find good and beauty in it

this is a dude who chose to save that world when he could have just walked away! it's a simple bravery that has been continually renewed in many stories, but it's the sensitivity with which his character is treated that elevates him. there's a brightness to him that stares the isolated, desolate tone of origins in the eye and works with it to make the whole experience that much more nuanced

i've been trying to think of reasons he's so compelling besides "well he's a good guy" and you know what, he is. he's pretty swell
