u can actually do things you are terrified of, and u can even get good at it

1. You control your thoughts; your thoughts do not control you. Repeat that as many times as it takes for you to believe in its validity. 2. Roll up your sleeves, do not be afraid to get your hands dirty. Self-care takes a lot of time and effort. The mind is deceptive, your anxiety is sly and cunning, so you must be diligent, you must be watchful, and you must constantly and aggressively tend to your thoughts. 3. Please understand that you are not bound to believe everything they say about you. You are not bound to blossom into their stereotypes. You are not confined to their image of you. Know that you have the ability to uproot the negative thoughts you have been made to believe about yourself. What you think about yourself is what you will embody so plant new thoughts, grow yourself from the mind up. 4. Find the courage to talk about your mental health. Even when people don’t understand, keep talking. You will find people who will listen to you. You will find people who will understand you. You will also discover that you are not alone, that you have never been alone. 5. Forgive. Forgiveness is the only sure way to kill the monsters that are hunting the halls of your memory. It may be difficult but it is necessary. 6. Work diligently on your sleeping habits. A restless mind is a breeding ground for anxiety. 7. Indulge in something that makes you laugh from your belly. 8. Do that thing that you have always been afraid to do. It will help you see your anxiety for what it really is, a fabrication. You have always been capable of doing what you anxiety told you couldn’t. 9. Refuse to give up. Never make defeat an option. 10. Commit daily to fighting for your mental health. Commit daily to standing up for yourself. You are worthy and deserving of living your best life.

It’s crazy how quickly you can lose yourself as soon as you lose sight.

and for the love of Christ please stop reducing critiques against the police and military to personal critiques against your family members involved in them. Like no one cares. The damaged caused by both institutions far outweighs any good that your individual relative may have effected nor do their motives for enlisting justify the intrinsic violence of these institutions

Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.

Sage advice. See more highlights from Drake’s SNL.

We are told frequently that women are more intuitive, more empathetic, more innately willing and able to offer succor and advice. How convenient that this cultural construct gives men an excuse to be emotionally lazy. How convenient that it casts feelings-based work as “an internal need, an aspiration, supposedly coming from the depths of our female character.”
