Be gentle with yourself, you are healing.

don’t feel guilty for not being able to handle everything, for needing a break. you need to look after yourself, too. self care is not selfish.

So... I have postcoital dysphoria and it totally sucks

“Promise Yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

I took a break from Tumblr a 160 days ago. Here I am again :)

dear cute person: you won’t feel like this forever. you will heal, break down, and start over multiple times before you feel okay. and maybe it will take months and years for you to feel truly okay and at peace with yourself and what happened. but the future isnt bleak, and you’re never alone in this lonely time. there’s always something good waiting for you, new interests and rabbit-holes to fall into, cute and beautiful people to make your heart flutter (who aren’t always real, and that’s okay too), fluffy animals to pet, new books to sniff, cookie recipes to try, pianos and journals and paintbrushes waiting for you, quiet streets to walk on as the sun sets, or songs that are like comforting hugs when you’re crying at 2am. whatever it is, let it keep you company as you heal, and don’t let go. may the little things that bring you joy stay with you, and may new ones arise when you least expect it, and let these little things give you little pieces of hope and happiness when you most need it. have faith that you will make it through this, and know that one day you’ll feel all the warmest feelings again.

please know your mental capacity right now with consuming social media, news outlets, etc. because it’s so much. watch a funny tv show or movie. dance around to your favorite song. call your best friends. order from your go-to take-out spot. eat some chocolate. you did everything you could do. I love you. you deserve the world. whatever happens, you’ll be okay.
