I'm so tired. I just want something soft and safe and satisfying with someone.

I’m 33 and American. This myth is so widespread here I didn’t know the truth until I was TWENTY-NINE. I was literally taught something similar IN COLLEGE—that the Puritans were so reactionary in America as a result of what happened to them in England. And this was in a class about the history of witchcraft accusations and the Salem witch trials. Like, we were taught that they were horrible HERE, but the narrative was still that they faced injustice in England.

This wasn’t a stupid teacher, either. She had her first doctorate and was pursuing a second. Basically everything else I learned in that class checks out. The myth just runs THAT DEEP.

Yep. :/

This thread got me watching this BBC documentary on Oliver Cromwell and I highly recommend it anyone else who also had no idea.

2023:

Even the smallest joy matters, even if it doesn’t last. Life is supposed to be enjoyed and it is not morally reprehensible to do so.

Your health matters more than any material thing you sacrifice it for.

Life is not supposed to be made of sacrifices.

Your dreams are not too big “for someone like you”. You are not too small to dream big.

Everything is temporary. Use the time you have to love and be loved, to enjoy this life a little, to create the relationships you seek, the safe home you need.

Community is what kept us evolving. The human thing is to ask for help.

Perfectionism is the enemy if you want to get things done. Progression above perfection, always. You don’t have to be so anxious to prove your worth, you are already enough. You can do this.

Guilt and shame are common emotions to us all, but they should not dictate your whole life.
