“Sensations, from the beginning, involve a sort of doing. This means that, in an important sense, it is your doing self that brings your core self into being. You are responsible at the very deepest level for what it feels like to be you. But then, for your next trick, well, how about spreading some of that soul dust onto the things around you? Remember, too, that it is your mind that projects phenomenal qualities onto external objects. If you only knew it, you yourself are responsible for the feel of the world.”

- Nicholas Humphrey "Soul Dust: The Magic of Consciousness" commonplace

Affirmation Mondays 356 ~ Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them....

“Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. You’re here. It’s our time and our life, not theirs.”  ~ Ayn Rand It’s not an easy road, but it’s my road… “Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. You’re here. It’s our time and our life, not theirs.” As the world burns both figuratively and literally…

Idk how many conversations I've had with people who demand to know how @just-slightly-chayotic has so much enthusiasm for KimChay and Jeff. But anyway...

"it's like when you're talking to your friends. You're not sitting, judging yourself before you say it, because that usually happens when you're young. You're thinking, well I've got to behave a certain way. It's like, no, don't do that, do you." - RuPaul.

I'm watching RuPauls Drag Race season 14.

I used to hang out with ppl who didn't like how I said certain things, what I said and how I said it. Everything I said and did, was judged. That's not kind. That's not kind in the slightest.

I couldn't be myself bc they didn't like that. I HAD TO act a certain way and it's always "professionalism".

Not just the drama toxic group, but a few content creators (from a few years ago to recent) and even irl friends. EVERYTHING was "professionalism" 🙄.

It's funny how they act all professional, yet they weren't successful. You can act all you want hunty, it doesn't get you anywhere in life.

I found out, acting like you're a professional, is fake af hunty.

I don't understand why I couldn't be myself around them. I know why...

They didn't like me. They NEVER liked me.

So I'm not apologising anymore for being my extra sassy self. And IF ppl don't like that, that's not my problem. It's theirs.

I love being my extra sassy self, I love wearing colourful makeup, my black lipstick and my goth witchy fashion

You shouldn't have to apologise for being you. You shouldn't have to change for other ppls standards. You just shouldn't.

Be you, because you are the best you 💜

"You make me feel like life is ok, even when it's not.."

You console my heart and soul, making things amazing even when they are at the worst.. just thank you for being you. You make this world a more beautiful place, especially for me - eUë

sit yourself down

with your other self

you know,

the one who tells you what to do

.

sit yourself down

to have that conversation

and say,

i don’t take orders from you

.

if she is your reason,

for once, let yourself go

if she is your freedom,

for once, tell yourself no

.

if she is your privilege,

stop and check yourself

if she is your victim,

celebrate your strengths

.

if she is your doubt,

forget that she exists

if she is too proud,

convince her to resist

.

if she is not you,

don’t follow her lead - 

because if you are not her, 

you are YOU, guaranteed
