Maybe the person you need to be the most gentle with is yourself. People don't realize how self-deprecating they can really be when thinking about themselves. Consider trying to stop calling yourself all those words you wouldn't say to a friend. After all, you are the longest companion you will have for you whole life, you shouldn't spend it hating yourself so much. You can't outrun yourself, but you can change the way you feel about who you are.

realising that only getting help in crisis situations is dumbass behaviour. a message to anyone out there who might need to hear it (including me)
don’t stop taking medication because you’re feeling better.
don’t stop going to therapy because you’re feeling better.
don’t stop visiting your pain doctor because you had no pain that week
those aids may very well be the reason you’re feeling better, and you deserve more than simply no longer being in crisis. you deserve to thrive, not just survive

Eating toast for dinner instead of cooking is better than not eating anything at all.
Using mouthwash instead of brushing your teeth is better than not taking care of your teeth at all.
Wiping yourself with a damp cloth or baby wipe instead of showering is better than not bathing at all.
Doing only one out of five assignments you need to turn in is better than not submitting anything at all.
Talking to a loved one on the phone is better than not talking to anyone at all.
Playing your favorite video game, listening to good music, or reading a book instead of "grinding" is better than not doing anything at all.
Don't beat yourself up for not being "productive enough". A little productivity is still productivity.

that the people who care about you aren’t, in fact, incrementally & constantly adjusting their opinion of you based on how stupid or cool your last interaction with them was….is something i actively try believing in every single day & when it works it brings my heart great peace

forgive yourself for viewing someone’s lack of effort as a challenge to convince them that you’re worth it

Its important to remind yourself that this is not a race. Do what you can do today. You will get to where you are going. Progress happens in layers.

i'm surprised you don't seem to have done any cursed biology posts about seahorses--got any cursed/blessed facts about them?
have you ever noticed how seahorses seem so... weirdly stiff?
they move almost more like a terrible 3D render than a fish.
but it turns out there's a good reason for this!
it's becauuussee....
THIS MAN.
HE IS. ALL BONES.

my biggest pet peeve wiht the english language is that you don’t have sin/sina
in swedish if u have two people who use the same pronoun u can always tell whos doing what bc its like ‘han tog sin väska’ (he took his[own] bag) and ‘han tog hans väska’ would be that he took the other persons bag
but in english its like if u have 2 ppl w/ the same pronoun:
“she took her bag” whose bag????WHose BAG was it her OWN bag or the other her’s bag??????????????
“he ate his donuts” were the donuts his own???? did he fucking eat someone elses donuts??? YIU DONT KNOW bc english is a bullshit language

Your body is an incredibly bizarre machine.
“What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You’re looking at happiness.”
