10 Important Self Reminders:

I choose me. It’s okay to put myself first when I need to.

I am more than any one part of myself. My appearance, my past, my mistakes – none of that defines me. Only I do.

It is not weakness to show vulnerability; it is strength.

It’s okay to not be okay. Furthermore, if I’m not okay now, I will be eventually.

Whether I’m not sure of the answers to my homework, what to do, or who I am, it’s alright to not know. I’m still learning and I’m doing just fine.

Making mistakes is a part of the learning process. I don’t have to be afraid of making them or of admitting when I do.

I’ll never know what I’m capable of until I try.

There is no such thing as perfect. Trying is enough.

Take pleasure in the little things: sunsets, rain, fuzzy blankets, signs of spring, etc. They are important. 

I am not in this alone, even if it sometimes feels that way.

Maybe medieval people happened upon a T-Rex fossil and came to a relatively logical conclusion that dragons existed.

I’ve read a couple books on this actually, thats exactly what happened. Also cyclops are from looking at bones from a certain type of baby elephant. The giant note hole and tiny eyes made it look like a single eye.

Yep, can confirm! And what’s even funnier to me is that back in the dark ages, Greek people used to find a lot of prehistoric bear skeletons - and those look exactly like human skeletons, except they’re like eight feet tall or something - so they naturally assumed those were the heroes of legend, and made armour and clothes for them and reburied them with the most splendid and sacred religious ceremonies they could think of? Fast forward five centuries, Athens’ all modern and rational, philosophers and scientists aren’t taking any shit from anyone - but the problem is, people will randomly find graves containing giant-ass warriors, so that’s something that can’t be explained away and yeah, demigods were a thing and yeah, they used to be eight feet tall and sorry I don’t make the rules.

Some scientists suspect that the origin of the cyclops myths came about because of elephant skulls, which are vaguely human in shape but with a honking big hole in the middle for the trunk but easily mistakable for an eye socket without any flesh

this is the first time i’ve ever seen an elephant skull outside an elephant and i don’t like it much

life gets so much better when you realize you can literally do whatever the fuck you want if you dont care what anyone thinks about you

“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

“I feel lonely. I feel worse - strange. And when I leave I cry in the car. And I say to myself that the trouble with life is that people are strangers. Anne…people are strangers. I don’t know if I can go on spilling myself out to people - those strange strangers. As I may have said, I am not at home in myself. I seem to be a ship that is sailing out of my own life.”

— Anne Sexton, from a letter to Anne Clarke dated 23 March 1964. (via violentwavesofemotion)

“Oh, to be ravaged by loneliness. By its soft, malleable teeth. A slow death. A slow ravaging. More like being pulled apart than eaten. You used to beg God for this at night, used to beg him to make you small enough to get picked up in something’s mouth and then swallowed. You used to bend your shadow into something worth slicing through, into something that deserved to be pried open. What you didn’t know was that nothing that wanted you had claws.”
