My brain L0VES to pray on my downfall, sometimes when I wake up..the thoughts get loud and echo in the background "have you looked for jobs today?" "What are you doing with you life?" "Are your parents proud?" "What do your siblings think of you?"

I combat that with, well yk what? I'm trying my best and doing my best and everyone is proud of me ^_^ for the first time in 2 years I'm not waking up feeling worthless or rejected because I cant get a job rn..I'm tired of tying my worth to things outside of my control. I'm at peace..my brain just needs to catch up.

Now that the best time of the year is approaching, along with one of many holidays stolen and warped by invading bigots with no original thoughts, I'd just like to post this quick reminder:

I'm not a fan of the word Pagan, as its original use was to disparage the people who fled the persecution and wholesale slaughter of the early Christians tearing through the Western world like a plague, but the point remains valid. (If you're curious, "pagan" literally translates to "country dweller," and it's a term Roman Christians used to mock their victims who hid in the wilderness rather than convert or be butchered.)

No one is worth downplaying your gender or lack of gender for.

You deserve to be freely yourself always, but especially with your friends and loved ones.

There are people out who will respect you fully, so don't settle for so much less.

1. Contrary to popular belief, waking up early isn’t going to drastically alter your life or effect how you’re feeling. So sleep till noon and relish in the way laying in bed all day makes you feel a little more human. 2. Drinking your coffee ‘black’ doesn’t make you cooler or more sophisticated than the rest of us who load in milk and sugar. 3. Being unimpressed by everything makes you look like a twat. Get excited, be overly passionate about something. Enthusiasm is fun. 4. Hating yourself isn’t romantic. 5. Eat whatever you want. Your friend’s a vegan? Awesome. Listen to her talk about how great she feels because of it while you tuck in to some chocolate cake. Tell her you feel just as great.

Try not to let all the "discourse" out there make you feel bad about how you are nonbinary.

It's good to take a break from all the arguing if you can even if it's just for a little while.

Rest and remember that your experiences as a nonbinary person, while not applicable to every nonbinary person, are important and real for you.

Being nonbinary is not all that you are.

The wind of a hurricane is unforgettable, but that's not the only form the wind can take. The playful breeze of a summer day, the cool currents of an evening, and winter gusts whistling through bare branches are among its many other qualities.

You, like the shifting of the wind, are much more than just one distinctive trait.

There are many people who wish to wear down your strength due to their own hatred of nonbinary people.

So, it's good to rest, do things you enjoy, and generally take time to care for yourself when you can.

A cactus and a baobab tree both collect and hold an excess of life sustaining water to survive long dry periods.

Make sure you take the time to gather enough strength to get through the difficult times ahead.
