It Lives In The Dirt

I'm Tate (she/her) Sometimes I post my thoughts or my face, but mostly I just reblog things I like.

not resilient like a beautiful flower pushing up thru concrete but resilient like an inflatable bounce back clown toy being punched repeatedly in the head by a maniacal 5 year old

If you ever hear me breathe deeply it’s not because I’m annoyed it’s because I forget to breathe sometimes

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

Maybe the real Curse of Strahd was the abhorrent rolls we made along the way

good morning everyone! I have a new all-time favorite work of art, and it’s this early 19thc ivory netsuke in the shape of an INCREDIBLY fat bird

[azvolrien]

This must’ve been a popular design for netsuke, because there’s a very similar one on display in the National Museum of Scotland:

Maybe it’s just because I’m Jewish but I do truly believe that life gets ten times better when you learn to complain cheerfully

[willowcrowned]

I think a part of it is that it lets you acknowledge that something sucks, which is actually really good in a culture that wants us to pretend that everything is fine and we’re soldiering through all the time. Like, no, my grocery bag breaking and spilling all over the floor is not fine. I’ve had a long day and I’m really upset and on the verge of tears because I can’t handle one more thing and pretending like it’s fine only means breaking down later.

But if you let yourself complain, if you let yourself swear terribly and creatively, and you stare down at the bruised vegetables like they’ve personally disappointed you, and you make yourself smile because this is really just so, so stupid, you feel a little better. There’s a power to acknowledging that something sucks and making yourself feel better anyways. There’s a power to going “and THEN my bag broke, and it’s like—seriously? my day was bad enough” and doing it with a smile.

You shouldn’t have to pretend things are fine when they aren’t. You shouldn’t have to force yourself to smile through things that make you feel terrible. But if you can make yourself laugh by staring down at some strawberries that have decided to revolt, and give them a lecture on why they’re just terrible, really, and that makes you smile—then maybe that’s a good thing.

I cannot overstate how freeing it can be to simply say "oh fuck off" at the object that falls off your counter of its own volition after you spent 10 minutes preventing items from falling off and breaking on they other side.

OP is so right about the power of laughing at your misfortune.

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

[cryptid-corpse]

I think I deserve romantic vampire love

compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!
