Healing isn’t a race.
It’s complicated. It’s messy. It’s confusing.
It’s baby steps. It’s going backwards. It’s making leaps and strides and then being stuck for awhile.
There is no shame in how long it takes.
The fact that you’re on the journey speaks volumes of your strength.
You’re going to make it.
translation from turkish the guy: are you hungry? are you really hungry? didn’t they feed you in the street? you poor thing. let me give you something then. come. come. do you like spleen? it’s hematinic. (this sentence wasn’t the exact translation but it’s the best i can come up with) like this look. let me give you some spleen. this much. is this enough? get it.
this is so cute. I love the butcher chatting away and the cat responding, him pulling out a package of meat and showing it, just like he’s dealing with any customer.
one of those posts that makes me happy every time I see it
I love this time of year, I saw this tree on my way to work and although I didn’t have time this morning to stop and take a picture I promised myself I would on my walk home. The shades of red made me so happy.
New plant to add to my ever growing collection.
My altar has both dried flowers and fresh flowers, a beautiful bit of honouring both the alive and dead.
Fresh flowers for my altar, lovely way to honour the full moon on Friday.
On Friday I potted up these two planters.
I work an essential frontline job in the UK so this pandemic has been really draining for me physically, mentally and spiritually- so I bought myself some flowers and got them delivered on Beltane eve- my alter looks beautiful although I haven’t done anything special for this turning of the wheel but I’ve decided not to beat myself up about it. (The world is crazy out there at the moment so I’m going to be easy on myself) ❤️
Amongst all this news about COVID-19 and isolation/quarantine i think it’s important to remember to take some time for self-care, especially if you suffer from mental illnesses. some things to remember and try to do even if it is difficult:
open the blinds and let sunlight in, look at the grass or trees or any nature that you can outdoors. if you have plants then talk to them, take care of them, and enjoy their beauty. try to have a normal sleep schedule, go to bed at the same time each day and wake up around the same time each day and remember to take your medication if you have any.
shower, keep yourself clean, put on your favorite lotion or perfume just for you, brush your hair and put it up however you like. allow yourself to relax and take care of yourself. remember to drink plenty of water!
create! cook or bake, draw, write, work on your book, dance, do yoga, study, do something that makes you use your imagination.
have fun, do things that make you happy, like reading or redesigning/cleaning a room or playing a game. drink your favorite drinks, if you have them, tea, coffee, hot cocoa, etc.
call people! call and talk to your friends or your family, spend time with them if you live with them! if you believe in a deity, talk to them, if you have plants, talk to them, if you have pets, talk to them! or even talk to yourself, find out more about yourself during this time, find self-love within you.
take time for yourself and be kind to yourself, meditate, relax, and if news sources cause you to be more anxious then avoid them. this shall pass, as all things do.
Calling All Crafters
Hello, everyone!
I am taking Honors Statistics this semester, and one of the requirements of my course is that I must complete a research project, and analyze the data. After years of teasing from my family, I’ve decided my topic will be to find out how the average crafter really is: a lonely old grandma, a queer millennial, or someone in between?
To do this, I need to enlist the help of the crafting community here on Tumblr. I need to gather at least 100 responses in order for my data to be usable, so I’ve gone ahead and made a google form right HERE. I would be incredibly grateful to all of you if you take 5-10 minutes to answer this brief survey, and circle it around.
If I don’t complete this project, I won’t receive my honors denomination. Which is a bummer under normal circumstances, but in this specific case will result in my removal from the honors program (it’s a complicated system that warrants a post on its own.)
The survey has seven questions, only 4 of which are required. Two of the non-required questions are essay answers, to give you a chance to go more in-depth with your experiences in the crafting community if you would like to do so. it will help me better contextualize the data. If you would prefer not to, however, that’s fine too!
Thank you for reading, and please help me spread this around so that I can complete my course! All findings will be written up and presented on my blog sometime around the end of May, if you want to check back in to see the results.
Hi everyone,
Consider taking a few moments of your time today (or whenever you see this) to help out a fellow crafter in need. I normally don’t repost links to things, but in this case, nothing is for sale (and I already filled the survey out myself) so it’s entirely innocuous.
As someone who knows the struggle to get enough participants for research and a crafter myself I answered this, and thought I’d share it out for others to be able to do so as well. Calling all crafters let’s help this fellow crafter out.
“It’s OK to be scared but you have to get out there, open up, love, make mistakes, learn, be stronger, and start all over again.”

A Reminder
Being in a long distance relationship does not mean:
Your relationship is less valid than a local one
You don’t really love each other
You will never meet
You don’t deserve happiness
You don’t have any self worth
You trust too easily
It will NEVER work out
You will never find true love
Your partner is cheating on you
What it DOES mean:
You deserve to give it a shot
Your relationship is valid
You should put effort into making it work
It can end like any other
It can work out like any other
You deserve love
Even if it doesn’t feel like it, anyone can love you
Your partner is just as committed to you as you are to them
Your relationship is beautiful
This relationship has just as much of a chance at being true love as any other
You have wonderful qualities that anyone can recognize
Your partner loves you
You should never doubt your love
You understand hardship
Everything will work out in the end
Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!
I don’t know where this came from but I NEEDED it
So I doodled one of these then instantly became obsessed with the idea and can’t stop and have been spamming twitter with brain wolf facts sorry everyone.
I love this. Xxx
Sometimes you have to just treat yourself like an overtired toddler.
“Okay, as soon as you finish this assignment you can take a little nap.”
“You just cleaned your room, good job!”
“Hmm..maybe eating a snack will stop you from wanting to cry.”
Sometimes? I think you mean all of the time.
Being an adult is just parenting yourself.
It’s true and highly effective self care. Speak to and treat yourself with the same love and care you would want your child self to be given.
That means: no insults or name calling. No judgement. Patience. Gentle firmness. Health, safety and happiness first. Encouragement. Rewards and validation for a job well done. Self soothing. And above all else, love.
Also, the words ‘no, that’s not helpful right now’ have done wonders for helping pull my brain out of spirals where it wants to rehash every bad/awkward/unfortunate things I’ve ever done. Just a gentle no, and redirect to something else
A little update <3
I still read all of your lovely replies! I have not given up on art my friends! I have even started my own webcomic on webtoon! It’s called Seth In Space and it would mean a lot to me if you would support me there! Love you all and happy halloween!!
🖤🧡
