ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY:
wait until it gets dark and make tea or coffee or hot chocolate, or if it’s too hot outside make yourself a healthy smoothie with your favorite things in it at any point during the day
put on your favorite underwear, it helps, trust me, it’s an old family secret (i’m not kidding)
if you have a pet, play the “how many things can i stick on you until you move or get mad” game (bonus points if they fall asleep, extra bonus points if a family member sees you and tells you to quit it, extra double ultra points if they join in)
rip a peice of paper into as many little pieces as you can
go to animeseason.com and click “random anime” until you see one that looks completely ridiculous (or actually good) and watch the first episode. repeat if it sucked or if you get bored halfway through
spend at least an hour making a music playlist for how you feel right now and save it for now or when you feel a bad mood rise again
curl up in bed and cover yourself with blankets and pillows and put in music and just lay there for a while (sleeping is also good)
eat everything
drink lots of water
it’s okay bad moods don’t last forever!!!!!! i promise!!! you will be yourself soon and there are people who love you very much, don’t be afraid to reach out to them
you are lovely
eat lots of bananas
here are some more friends
i bet there is still a box of crayons in your house somewhere (if not you can get them cheap during back-to-school sales); find them and use them (maybe while watching ridiculous anime)
sunshine if you can manage it or just a sun lamp trust me it matters more than you think especially in winter
hugs even if they are stuffed animals or your pet or your pillow whatever is on hand
if you’ve got a favorite lotion/soap/thing that is scented use it liberally
cry if you need, if it doesn’t start by itself or if you don’t want to attract attention put on a sad movie so you have an excuse
write this down to pull out on future bad days:
it is okay to have a day where you don’t get things done
it is okay not to have a reason for feeling bad
taking care of yourself is a worthwhile use of time
if you still don’t feel better it is not your fault (and it is okay to ask for help)
^ Important for self care, and self care is important. When drama happens in the community, it can have a negative effect on everyone. Look after yourself, take time to care for yourself. We’re here.

Type Your Thoughts Away
How do you fall back in love with life?
clean your room. clean space, uncluttered space, space that doesn’t have miasma clinging to it can work wonders. clean the dishes. sweep. take out the trash. peel the clothes off the floor and wash them, and then actually fold/hang them. take a long shower. scrub behind your knees. brush your teeth. (this can be utterly exhausting, but try to get it done in a day, if you can. the end result is worth it.)
pull out your notebook. it doesn’t need to be a new notebook, but preferably one that you don’t usually write in, or that you haven’t touched in a while. fuck moleskins. the yellow legal pad will work fine. sit in your room, or in the park, or in the library, and write a list. count clouds. describe all the colors that you see, and note patterns that arise. sketch the cracks in the walls. note the shape light makes when it enters a space. talk about what the air tastes like, smells like. what sounds are there? even the white nose, break that down: air planes, fans, cicadas, anything. remind yourself that you are sitting in the middle of a space brimming with detail. remind yourself that you are not in nothingness and emptiness. your world is fathomless. it has potential.
drink cold water and try to eat something that isn’t processed. it does not need to be fancy. buy yourself an apple with the change between your couch cushions. eat it outside. if you’re someone who walks, walk somewhere afterwards, just to stretch your legs. take your fucking meds. remember that its a good thing that you are inside your body. your body is a fantastic and endlessly intricate machine, and even though society has smacked a bunch of poisonous ideas on it, that doesn’t change its inherent worth and splendor. take care of it.
read a novel. underline your favorite lines, and write phrases that twist your heart inside your chest on the back of your hand with an ink pen. read a novel like it’s poetry. read poetry, something decadent but unpretentious. watch a movie you haven’t seen before. if there are free art galleries near you, walk through one. take your time. let yourself bask. if there are patterns in what makes your soul ache, write those patterns down – marbles arches or soot crumbling bricks or dandelions or descriptions of dresses or whatever it is, write them down.
your chosen family is important. remember, they picked you as much as you picked them. the love has no obligation. it is given freely and it is given from a place of compassion. you are not a burden. if you need to breathe, take a minute by yourself and just exist, but remember to go back to your people. when they need you, listen and be gracious. always be gracious. the universe sometimes remembers things like that.
listen to new music. link jump on youtube or related artist jump on spotify or ask the chap beside you in the cafe what their favorite band is, and listen to that. listen to something that you don’t usually listen to. we tend to tie up a lot of memory with music. we are falling in love again. the soundtrack needs to be specific to that.
allow yourself to indulge in romantics. press flowers in old books. play movies with subtitles and mouth the words. dance in your room. wear something that makes you feel good, even if you wouldn’t wear it in public. write your chosen family letters, even if you hand deliver them. write poetry, even awful poetry. revel in its awfulness. eat dark chocolate and when your chosen family want to go out, try to go out with them sometimes, even if its just to the market.
Kyungsoo 괜찮아도 괜찮아 (That’s Okay)
“Sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh. We wait and we hurt, We get excited again and we also get dull. Simply follow your heart”
EXO; Universe
no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice
an incomplete self-care checklist for people who experience secondary trauma after an act of violence:
social support is crucial. who can you process and cry with? sit with? get out with?
basic physical needs:
make sure you’re eating–choose foods that go down easy and are energy-dense
let yourself rest–sleep, meditate, zone out, give your body space to process its emotional & physical responses
grounding–how can you connect with your surroundings? smells? colors? textures? what can you apprehend w your senses in a gentle way? you are here now.
self-talk–what do you need to hear?
“this is a moment of suffering.”
“it’s normal to feel this way.”
“you are not alone in your feelings.”
“you are safe in this moment.”
“i’m here for you.”
“what do you need?”
regulating media use–how much news is too much? can you notice in your body when media use goes from informative to punishing or hurtful? can you take a break for the above suggestions before resuming?
there is no right way to grieve, and we don’t control the process! this is simply an invitation to practice kindness to ourselves as/if that practice is available to us in our grief (and rage, and fear, etc.).
How to start again ✨
delete apps and social media that lowers your mood
wear a new scent, throw away things you don’t need, delete contacts of people who make you feel unworthy, unfollow social media that makes you feel bad in any way
make a new playlist that makes you feel confident and happy
in a journal, write down why you want to change, the traits of the person you truly want to be, the places you want to go and people that make you feel inspired
write down the things that stop you and bad habits you have, and replace those with new mindsets and habits
before you sleep, make a detailed, achievable routine for the next day, that includes everything you want to do, including activities that genuinely make you happy
try new hobbies, like baking/cooking, playing a musical instrument, making art, learning a new skill, a sport, or a new language. you can easily get free resources online
think about the ideal version of yourself. you can be like that, if you try your best and work hard.
do not overwork yourself or set overly lofty daily goals and forget to do things like drink water. make your sleep and health your number one priority.
spend less time on your phone scrolling through social media. have a method of focusing on other things, like Pomodoro method or using the Forest app.
if you can’t concentrate, commit yourself to doing it for 5 minutes. once you get into the flow it’s much easier to concentrate.
be patient and kind with yourself. it’s hard to change overnight. you’re the only one who can help change you, so be a friend to yourself.
once you start something, promise yourself you will finish it.
have new weekly routines, like going to a cafe every Wednesday afternoon or indulging in your favourite tv show every Friday night.
do not deny yourself of good things; there needs to be a balance. similarly, do not be too generous and overdo it too much.
dedicate a day to clean your room and organize your things if you feel stressed out.
it may feel scary to change, as you may feel like it’s not the real you. but you’re still you, just the best version of yourself.
have a relaxing morning routine to look forward to, like making a nice breakfast, having a skin care routine, stretches, journalling, or thinking about nothing for a few minutes
have a mental image that makes you excited to do something. visualize yourself completing the goal and concentrate on it every morning.
however, learn not to rely on motivation because your brain will often turn off motivation, especially when you first begin something. have a routine, a specific time to do something, and do it.
notice the places and people that drain your energy, and try to avoid them. find people who make you feel energized and places that calm you.
think about an enjoyable part of something. for example, when studying you can look forward to learning new things and when exercising, listening to calming music or using nice stationery. it’s actually more fun than you think.
even though it’s hard, don’t compare yourself. you’re on your own path, and it doesn’t matter if people are better than you, because there will always be someone better than everyone. don’t be afraid to suck. so draw badly, write bad poems, run slowly, make embarrassing mistakes and fail everything. you can’t be good at something unless you’re terrible at something first. and doing anything badly is so much better than doing nothing.
don’t tell anyone about your new beginning, just start and let the results speak for themselves.
you can change and be your ideal self. but it will be hard to do that if you don’t believe in yourself. so make sure you challenge negative thoughts telling you can’t do something. tell yourself firmly that you can do it and then prove your negative thoughts wrong.
It’s been a good journey so far, thank you for everything
waking up in a chaos
I don’t want to hide too much because it might lead me up to isolation again. But, I know for sure that I don’t find anyone that I could believe in around me. So, I guess I have to find a fine line between those two. I really don’t like it when someone invade my personal space and assume that they can take anything. Even if they’re younger than me. I still want to have my own space, it feels really suffocating to be in open space like this. I still want to be drown in feeling when I create something. I hope my time will come soon. Also, I’m tired of being pessimistic, even in writing this-- I try my best to have good expectation for myself.
Dreams and Future: Feeling and Drawing
let’s talk about dreams and future, and every little things about me that I avoid lately.
I haven’t draw for a pretty long time, well maybe I did some stuff here and there. But none of it was as happy as yeas ago. Somehow, I feel scared to go back and pick myself up. There’s still a bit of me who got left behind and I ignore them. It’s sad, I don’t know why I’m that cold, even to myself. Why I’m so mean even to myself? You know, even to just simply feel something- I haven’t done that in a very long time. I don’t know since when, but once the reality hit me, I become this cold. I don’t even know how to be myself anymore, all I know is just how to survive. I’m still scared. And to think that I’m struggling on my own is just so heartbreaking.
It doesn’t have to mean something, just like how you embrace your writings, your drawings doesn’t have to mean something and you don’t have to explain what it means. It’s all for you after all. If there’s people who asked you when you draw something “hey, what does this mean?” remind yourself, that you don’t have to explain.
But, when you’re this strange and ‘mysterious’ you also attract toxic people. Maybe that’s why I’m scared. To step out is scary.
Look inside, flip through it- tell me what is it about? Stop looking around to others, and look inside instead. What do you see? Now, you’ll know what you really want and now, stop looking at your past. You can always make new memories. Look in your present, and tell me about it.
You’re free enough to be you, and your dreams belong to you.
Forgetting
Nobody really cares at this home, no one wakes me up from my long sleep anymore. But, I guess that’s okay. I still feel how weird everything is. I don’t really understand how my life turned this way. What am I supposed to do? What should I do? I have to go this morning again, but I kind of don’t want to, but I have to. I want to wake up, my gaze was so blurry and it kinda irritate me. I want to see clearly, let me know. I want to know the dreams that I planted when I was younger, I want to know deeply, but my thoughts become like them and I don’t like it. It’s been a long time that I turned into a realist and forgetting who I really was. So, I want to know, please let me know. I want to be in my room, and feel deeply, and recognizing everything once again.
Please stop letting others control you, wake up and stand up, take over your life. Please, don’t wait and take action now. Please be in tune with yourself again, take what yours again. Wake up, look up, we have to live.
I’ll take notes about the present me.
I'll leave soon, and we will meet
We'll meet soon, so would you sing for me? I'd love to hear your voice before I close my eyes tonight. Drown yourself in this beautiful feeling, my love. Show me your beautiful smile when I wake up and let me tell you a thousand of stories that I never tell anyone before.
Change is scary, but good things come from change, and no matter how uncomfortable we feel when we think of things changing, we wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing now, without it. It’s ok ghosties 💕💕💕

Baekhyun wants you, to be yourself and be happy ✧ 190728 EXplOration in Seoul (trans: x.x.x)
Do you know that time when you’re just a small kid, you want to play with your parents (of course), but then they just said that you’re a nuisance? Well, what if their words last long even when you’re a grown up? I don’t even know how to grow up, they didn’t tell me how to, I think I raised myself (?)
I’m tired, really. They didn’t care, but it’s only to me I guess.
I’m tired with all of the “you should be grateful” and I wish I can tell them, “why don’t you try to be me, we’ll see how you feel then huh?”
At this point, everyone probably expect you to be perfect, and I’m simply tired. To others who want to be my friend but seems to hesitate because I’m so cold: I’m sorry, it just a lot to handle, I’d love to have friends, but-- life just happen. But don’t worry, we’ll meet soon.
I’ve made my decision.
