i would say this blog is my safe space. i can be myself here without too much hesitation and i've become a part of a wonderful community that has grown very dear to my heart. i'm homeschooled at the moment and i'm alone most of the time, which makes me even more grateful that i can connect to people this way. i have friends here who i love so so much, who have helped me so so much, and honestly idk what i'd do without them. this blog is very important to me, because it really helps me cope with the difficulties i'm going through.
so, here is a brief introduction of it! i've listed some of the things you might want to know before you interact :]
!!! Trigger Warnings !!!
ED: i am in recovery. fully & truly, not in that pseudo-shit phase anymore. however, it obviously is very difficult and i do have bad thoughts time to time, but i pay a LOT of attention not to post/rb anything potentionally damaging. which means there are NO numbers (kcals, weight, bmi, measurements, etc.), NO -spo and NO encouragement of disordered behaviours on this blog, and vents (which i try to keep as safe as i can too) are always under a [readmore] with a list of any needed tw at the top. needless to say, i'm entirely pro recovery!!
SH: always under a [readmore] with a tw at the top, and nothing graphic
Other stuff to know abt the "content" here (under the cut bc otherwise this post would be waaaay too long):
i tend to swear here and there, especially when i'm angry
i love using pet names (like starting my posts with "babes!!" or "loves" or calling someone bestie or dude (intended in a non gendered way) n stuff like that; i'm often shy to do so tho), but please let me know if sth makes you uncomfy!
english isn't my first language but i'm trying very hard so please forgive me for my mistakes!!
i have a pretty messed-up relationship with my dad and i post about that quite frequently, since this is kind of the only place where i can vent.
when i'm not complaining about my dad, i usually complain about my digestive-system, which i also have a questionable relationship with, due to its lack of ability to function normally, thanks to (surprise, surprise) my ed
i'm in recovery, but it can get really difficult, and then i post my thoughts about the things i'm going through sometimes. though overall recovery is rly nice!! 100% recommend!!!!
i still rb some ed memes for the lolz but never the damage-encouraging ones
i often rb mental health and lgbtqia+ related posts too
also get ready for a ton of shitty jokes, food opinions, harm reduction, picrews, simping for han jisung, and cats
thank you sm for reading through this!! and thank you sm too even if you only took a glance at the highlighted/bold words. i'm proud of you for being here, i'm proud of you for existing. because that's already a big thing on its own!! and i know that fighting with ED SHeeran or struggling in other ways can be really tough and i'm just so damn proud of you for not giving up. please remember that you are worthy. worthy of food, worthy of rest, worthy of love and happiness. nourish your body and soul. take your multivitamins. hydrate. take time to relax. bind safely. wear clothes that you like and listen to your favourite music. do what brings you joy, what makes you happy. i hope you can do something you love today! :)
take care, stay safe, ily. <3
and finally, some stuff abt meeee
you can call me alba or avrora or dawn (or you can translate dawn to any language basically, just let me know so that i don't get confused!)
i'm 18
i use they/she pronouns
member of the lgbtqia+ community but honestly can't tell which of the letters is the one which represents my identity. i can't figure out my sexuality bc of trauma and i just don't even want a gender tbh
my fav school subject is chemistry
we have a dog, she is beautiful and so so loveable
i listen to kpop, mostly skz (& an underrated group i like is lilli lilli, go stan lilli lilli !!!)
overall i'm kinda lame but i'd like to think that i'm owning it :]
if you read it until here, ilysm, have a nice day, you get a yellow flower, a pink flower, a caterpillar, a snail, a smol chicken and a cupcake! 🌼🌸🐛🐌🐣🧁
Just realized I have a spare coffee table I could totally set up to do like a puzzle on or something and I actually have the floor space to do it now oooog fuck I'm about to become a puzzler
Psst! You are probably doing better than you give yourself credit for. Sometimes it’s hard to find the little joys and the progress, when everything feels messy and gray or whatever way you would like to describe it. But I do hope that you can find the little joys and atleast a little progress. Progress and little joys look different to different people, and you get to define yours. 🌸
