not everything is bad. it's cliche to start this sentence like that but i did. because it's true. dogs arent bad. they lick you and cuddle with you when you're sad. so do cats. sunsets and sunrises will always exist to take in your trouble when you can't hold them anymore. the air around you will hold your screams if you so choose to let it out. flowers exist. and they're so beautiful and so full of wonderful scents that make you nostalgic over something you dont even know the name of. not everything is bad. i promise

hey friends!

july is disability awareness month!!

people with disabilities are still people. they’re not sub-human or any less of a person because of their disability! they can still have “normal” lives too! people with disabilities need representation as well, just like our lgbtq+ friends and poc!

please, let’s not erase people with disabilities from society. 

if you are mentally, physically, or psychologically disabled, we see you. 

you matter. 💙

You are not a burden, you’re someone who needs help being lifted up.

Say it with me: recovery takes time and I am worth that time.

Whatever you’re going through is just another bump in the road. Sometimes those bumps in the road are unusually big but you’ve gotten through them before; you can totally get through them again.

Life is like an ocean. Sometimes you are wading in the shallow end, enjoying the fish that swim by. Other times you are floating just barely above the surface, you can still breathe but it’s been really rough hasn’t it? And then there are those times where you are completely engulfed; you can’t see and you can’t hear, it’s quite terrifying to know that you’re drowning in complete silence. But one day you will awash onto the shore and you’ll be able to hear the birds in the sky, smell the salty water, and see sunshine again. You just gotta keep swimming.

you know what???

it’s okay if you don’t like physical affection. and no, I’m not talking about things like sex. I mean things like cuddling, hugging, holding hands, or even simply having someone’s arm over your shoulder.

that’s perfectly okay and you should not feel bad about it. I know you probably want to please people and let them be their affectionate self but what you’re comfortable with matters too :) don’t ever forget that.

Where you are today does not define where you will be tomorrow.
