[caspercryptid]

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

[caspercryptid]

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

[caspercryptid]

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

Its National Coyote Day! I look to them as my guiding animal, a true spirit of resilience, resistance, and growth. Every day I am grateful to embody and honor them.

Need some Coyote Courage? Both availiable as medium and large prints here.

Unsolicited Advice From A Mentally Ill Man

Supercilious meat

is stuffed inside

pristine suits

and muddied tank tops.

Only the dust

is infallible.

So many people

have grafted gavels

onto their beating hearts

while screaming "peace"

into meditation halls

thinking that it will save the world

but the only thing

that can rescue us

is to shake hands

with every dirty window

and open our minds

to welcome

the eye of the storm.

[quitblamingnarcissism]

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

I used to write with red wine

or whiskey.

By hand.

In pencil.

And it was good…

mostly.

Now I’ve switched

to tea

that tastes like dessert.

A drop of rum

to loosen the hinges

when creativity’s caged.

Tapping keys and cursing printers:

Devil’s spawn.

I wrote better with wine and whiskey.

Faster.

Prettier.

Pages filled with words that hummed.

It’s truer now.

No lies.

No hiding.

Just me and

ugly honesty.

[palaeosinensis]

It's a simple command really.

[wordrummager]

there’s a tiny space to hold onto scraps of the best of us like acorns holding giant oaks I can’t spell out where we can go to dream or just be I just know I can feel the world we make and disappear to when I curl my hands into fists in my pockets no matter the noise

I will walk among

The bright, tender violets

I will seek softness

The war of sun and shadow

Will soothe the wound in my soul

I could not save them

I was too busy waking up

Now they're a memory

Fading darkly on the cusp

I am not feeling all too human

I think I have become someone far more rotten

I'll tear my heart out

Before it falls out

[big-low-t]

Drought Conditions

Ignored and bored

No faith restored

The only reward

Fall upon a sword

Used to believe

No plan to deceive

Get no reprieve

Time to relieve

Essay on greed

The paper cut I need

Stand here and bleed

On soil with no seed
