Can we normalise ‘I’m willing to work on that’ instead of ‘that’s just how I am’

i think sometimes it's so so so important to remember that you deserve love and you can give that love to yourself. that you don't need anyone else to give you permission to do something kind for yourself.

when you feel like everyone hates you and it all hurts, you can get yourself a snack and watch a show you love or draw or dance or read or sleep or listen to music or whatever it is that helps you feel relaxed and happy and you can enjoy it all by yourself. you can be gentle and let yourself feel whatever you feel.

treating yourself with kindness and doing something that makes you happy can be so revolutionary when you feel alone and distressed. we all need someone to look after us but sometimes that person can be ourself.

Tumblr isn't social media, it's a habit. Like smoking. We're all gathering by the dumpster in the cold, reblogging posts.

i wonder if i will still use tumblr in 5 years

[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

The (un)funny thing about this (seven year old) post is that seven years ago the internet was such that one could reasonably imagine that in 5 years there would be other, better platforms that would make tumblr sort of outdated and cringy. Now the alternatives to tumblr are Corporations Spying On You, Absolute Hellhole Of Discourse Over Tumblr Screenshots, Corporations Spying On You, Tumblr Posts But In Video Form While Corporations And The Chinese Government Spy On You, That Platform You Signed On After The Titty Ban Spread Mass Panic And You Never Used Since, and reddit

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

Get the old version of you out your head. You are no longer your old self. You are who you want to be.
