me: you know if we asked for what we want, we might get it.

my brain: what are you on about. asking for things causes instant death. we've been over this.

"the world isn't kind" we are the world. lets make it kind.

Healthy disagreement allows room for both people to exist in the conversation. Gaslighting requires one person’s reality to disappear so the other person can maintain control.

I've been feeling a bit insecure because my blog posts on my website aren't reaching as many people as they used to. And then I caught myself thinking, oh, this one 'only' got 100 views. But then I was thinking about that, and that's 100 people who chose to read my article.

I know that I feel really good when a single person tells me they read my words and they felt something, or that they needed to read it. So why am I getting so caught up on a 'view' number?

The internet has made it very easy to forget that numbers are usually made of people. Real people that have their own lives and are still seeing us and interacting with us.

100 views can feel tiny online.

But if 100 people stood in front of you and said, “I read your words,” most of us would probably feel overwhelmed by that.

I think social media quietly distorts our sense of scale, connection, and impact in ways our brains were never really built for.

you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.

I'm not sure why, but stripping my bed and putting clean linens is one of the most exhausting parts of cleaning my room

I can give the whole room a deep clean and be mostly fine, but the few minutes it takes for me to put the sheets, duvet, and pillow covers in place takes all my energy away

block button

[hollowboobtheory]

blocking tip: you don't have to wait to have a negative interaction with someone to block them. you can block them without ever interacting with them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone being rude to someone else and preemptively blocked them

With Mother’s Day coming up, I just want to give a shoutout to all of those who are low contact or no contact with their mother or mother figure. So many people say “but she’s your___!” and I’m sorry that they push that on you. You are completely valid if you need/want space from your mom and it doesn’t mean that you’re bad or anything like that. 

I also want to give a shoutout to those who have lost their mother/mother figure. Loss is hard and it can be traumatic and if Mother’s Day brings up bad feelings for you, you are so valid. 

If Mother’s Day is hard for you for whatever reason(s), you are completely valid and that’s okay.
