it’s okay to be bad at things you enjoy.

it’s okay to draw even if it doesn’t look how you imagined. it’s okay to paint even if it ends up messy. it’s okay if you can’t memorize formulas or do mental math. it’s okay if you can’t describe a scene perfectly with words; or if you can never get your tone just right on stage.

You can do things just to do them and because you enjoy them. You don’t need to be the best ar something to love it. You enjoying it is enough reason to keep doing it. It’s okay

How do you validate someone with bpd without essentially submitting to the fact that their treatment of you is bad?

I understand validation is different than agreeing but you’re still not able to defend yourself without “invalidating” them

It's ok to grieve the life you wanted but can no longer have, or to grieve the life you used to have. The grief may pass, or it may always be there. Accepting (dare I say "radically accepting") that you can both grieve what you can't have *and* appreciate what you do have is something I think is vital to minimizing the pull towards believing death is a better outcome.

DBT homework to learn about the ten core emotions, so, although I have a very hefty number of arting and writing things that I need to do, decided to help my brain remember with some random doodles of a beloved character, Tails. Can colour in individual ones that I feel capable of coping with/regulating (an excellent excuse to use homework time as also art time)
