Spotted Sprout @spottedsprout - Tumblr Blog

Hi there, and welcome to my self acceptance blog! This blog is being used as a safe place for me to share my path to self acceptance and self love 💕

A few facts about me:

my pronouns are she/her/hers

I am 22 years old

Why I’m making this blog:

As a WOC, I noticed a lack of representation for Black women in the body acceptance Tumblr community. I’d like to change that!

I also have a really bad case of PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) from acne that has made me feel like I’ve needed to hide my body for years, and I’m trying to work on accepting my body instead of being ashamed of it. I’d like to share my journey, and maybe inspire others to do the same, so they can feel more comfortable with who they are.

I’d like to have a place to write and journal more!

Thank you for stopping by! 💕✨

Take that pencil and draw, even if you haven’t done it for years. Pick up that guitar and strum it, even if you never took a single class. Click that camera button and take a picture, even if you don’t know anything about temperature or saturation. You should do what you feel drawn to even if you think that you aren’t “skilled”. You should do it because you genuinely enjoy it, which is more than enough.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this.

I wish everyone with eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, and other skin issues that become worse in the winter a very moisturized, comfortable and painless time.

recognising that you aren't perfect and accepting that you have things you need to work on is the key to personal growth

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.

reblog this version because transmisogynists don’t know how to fuck off.

This is your daily reminder to not get caught up in the sunk cost fallacy.

What is the sunk cost fallacy?

It is continuing a behavior because of previously invested resources (time, money, energy, effort).

If something is not working out for you anymore, stop doing it. Find something else to do. Don’t worry about how many year you’ve done it or how much money you’ve put into it. It doesn’t work anymore. It doesn’t make you happy.

You deserve better.

#also be aware of escalation of commitment #meaning more time you spend on something #= more feeling that you have to commit to it #which sounds like ‘well I’ve already been doing this so long so I’ll just keep doing it #even though I don’t like it’
