#you matter!

[antarcticcrew]

They gotta owe at least 15 pushups...

[haikyuuuuluverr]

I don’t care who or what you are. You matter.

The addict on the corner. The kid who never fits in. The neighbor you can’t stand. The person you’ve sworn to hate. The one screaming for attention. The one suffering in silence.

Every. Single. One.

I know some people have been pushed down harder than others. Some lives have been ignored, mistreated, or targeted. That’s real, and it needs to be acknowledged. But I can’t accept the idea that only some lives count.

Because hurt doesn’t stop at one group. Discrimination doesn’t stop at one group. Pain doesn’t stop at one group.

We’re all carrying something. We all have scars. And we all deserve compassion.

The world isn’t naturally kind — but we can make it kinder. Not by dividing. Not by labeling. But by choosing to see the worth in everyone, even when it’s uncomfortable.

That’s the change I want. That’s the world I want.

Because at the end of the day, no exceptions — all lives matter.

So please.

I’m asking you.

Work with me, with us. To make this world kinder, and into the world that we envision.

People are constantly getting judged. It’s stupid, isn’t it?

But think about it. You’ve probably judged someone before too, whether that was yesterday or that was years ago.

I know I have.

But I want it to stop. And if you do too, then please help to create this world a better place.

Thank you. :)

Happy pride month!

My pride has always been a question for me, and it's been a struggle trying to figure out what I identify best with. I won't make this long anything, but for once, I looked in the mirror, and saw myself. I saw what I wanted to be, and I didn't feel the usual hate.

You're right where you need to be, too, you're doing great. I know it's hard and scary sometimes, but I love whoever is reading this, for being themselves. Keep being you, no matter what happens to us!

[welcome-to-green-hills]

(ProSpoil) I have a confession: I’m scared of the idea that I may be LQBTQ+. I’m not scared of not being accepted - I’m scared of me not accepting myself. I’ve been seeing every little thing as I sign I might become trans, especially the resurgence of my strange mermaid interest. In fact, I’m scared me confessing to you is a sign ! Mystery, if you have any advice, I’m not looking for “it’ll be fine if you are LGBTQ+”; I’m looking for a way to forget my anxiety.

I’m very, very proud of you for admitting what’s in your heart. You have no idea how proud I am of you for admitting what you think and feel.

Really, I am. I am so incredibly proud of you.

ProSpoil, it is perfectly okay if you don’t accept yourself right away. I might not have had the same experience as you, but I know what it’s like to take time to accept myself. It is perfectly okay to take some time to allow yourself to embrace who you are inside. I’ve always said that you are the one in control of yourself, you know yourself better than anyone. The glorious thing here is that you get the honor of being you--no one can take that away from you. Also know that you are always allowed all of the time that you need in the world to embrace and love yourself fully. It will take time, absolutely, but I promise you that it’s okay to take all of the time that you need in the world to accept yourself. 

Now, I did take a couple of days to write this because I wanted to make sure that I had all of the information needed to assure you that it’s okay. (There’s this great blog called @itgetsbetterproject that I recommend checking out on Tumblr, I reference their material any time I use it for my anthropology studies with great people. I also recommend their pamphlets HERE to research some more to help on transgender identity and their website HERE to browse at your leisure).

Take a deep breath, then say what feels right in the heart.

Try some pronouns out.

Think about how it makes you feel once you say it.

Ask if it makes you comfortable using she/her, they/them, fae/faer, Xe/Xem, etc.

Maybe ask a personal friend of yours to address you in terms of what feels right to you.

Seek out a therapist that specifically works with LGBTQAI+ individuals as well and see if they can help provide some further information as well about gender identity as well! 

Always know that you do not need to stick to one binary forever, it’s perfectly okay to have it change over time. Only you know what’s right in your heart, mind, and soul. It’s okay to listen to it.

I do want to leave you with one more thing: I reached out to some of my friends about gender identity and asked for advice. I can only provide so much information on this subject since I am not transgender, which is why I reached out for some help and share their experiences with you. @poptartsaysurloved is a very wonderful friend of mine and a very wise dude. I spoke to him about gender identity and acceptance as well, he had some words of encouragement to give you:

“Well it is okay to take time to figure stuff out! I mean, i didnt fully realize im a boy until last year (for context, im a sophomore in college). People always say that rome wasnt built in a day. And plants dont grow instantly either. I realize youre not rome or a plant, but why hold yourself to a different standard? Take some time to figure things out. Take deep breaths. Everything happens in due time.

“*boogies* hopefully thats okay.

“oh heck also! its important to surround yourself with people who will lift you up rather than tear you down. aaaaaaaa sorry i just remembered that.”

Time works in your favor here. Move at your own pace, ProSpoil. You don’t need to have the answers right away, and that’s okay. Take all of the time that you need in the world. Know that you are accepted here. I can understand feeling anxious of this concept--it’s a huge realization that can change your life. It’s important to surround yourself with those that want to encourage you to explore more of yourself. It’s important to know that you are Becoming. I encourage you to listen to your heart and your mind, and know that no matter what you choose we have your back here.❤️✨

Stay safe for me, okay?

You matter!

I really want you all to understand how loved you are!!! you!!! yes you!!!! you matter so very much!!!! even when you feel so small compared to the world, your very existence matters!!! you are such a light in this world even when you think it’s dark!!! you deserve all things happy!! things are hard right now and people can be cruel, but you do not deserve it. the negative things you are experiencing do not compare to your worth. you are worthy. you are worthy of love. you are worthy of happiness. you are worthy of peace. you are worthy of self love. I see you trying. small steps are still steps. I see you. I hear you. I believe in you. even when you think you are alone, I am cheering you on! life is already cruel, do not be so cruel to yourself. you are a flower growing towards the sunlight. sometimes you might have a branch in the way. sometimes you get knocked down. but you adapt. you learn. you grow. you will one day flourish in the the sunlight. I love you. I am proud of you.
