Hey, that’s me

[emphoenixcat]

I asked one of my (male) friends to stop using the phrase “man up” and he has been using “fortify” for the past two weeks instead and it’s just a little thing but honestly it makes a difference

and tbh it’s also pretty funny when I start to deflate in the library and he leans over and goes “FORTIFY”

I just had an epiphany…

The world constantly tells us to “fake it til we make it” and to “exude confidence,” but the truly self-secure people are very open about themselves and their insecurities.

The people who build a social circle of trust and support are open about their doubts, fears, and insecurities.

I thought I was, but I think ever since I was young I hid behind this aura of mystery because I was afraid that the moment I opened my mouth and revealed too much of me, that people would just think I was a loser. And I feel like a little bit of that mystery shroud/security blanket still remains in place as a defense mechanism to keep away the judgement of others.

Y’all, imagine if quarantine happened in 2012, when everyone was convinced the world would end

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself
