hi………..ppl with scars are allowed to wear whatever they want and that’s not an invitation to ask them about their scars

You know when pitbulls do that expression?

You know the really tender soft “I am in love and am so happy” expression where their eyes shine and they smile so gently and can’t stop looking at their object of affection as they wag their tail and fall in love more?

I’ve been thinking about it for days and am brought to tears with how tender and sweet they are oh my god

knowing that someone actively ENJOYS the things you create.. is an absolutely wild feeling. like, my entire chest is just full of warmth rn because i was able to make someone’s day just a teensy bit better ya know? catch me in the corner, gently crying

okay so I had this weird epiphany while talking to a dude today about like, recognizing emotions and validating them but also not letting them control you?

which is: Marie Kondo them.

I’m not saying to get rid of emotions that don’t Spark Joy, that’s not what I mean. but I’m thinking about how in the KonMari method, when you’re getting rid of stuff (say, a pair of jeans you only wore twice), you’re supposed to thank them for what it brought you (for example, the joy you got from the two times you did wear the jeans). sometimes what it brought you can be something like “I learned that I do not like this style of sweater, thank you for teaching me this lesson, Sweater” or “I felt happy when I initially got this birthday card, but now I can get rid of it because it’s served its purpose.”

so like, emotions! emotions are important in terms of giving us data (“I feel afraid because there is a bear in front of me, I should leave immediately and avoid bears in future to stop feeling afraid”), but wallowing in the emotion is not productive. 

so: marie kondo it.

what does the emotion do? like, what is it trying to alert you to? (“I feel unusually upset because my boyfriend went to bed early today. I probably feel like this because I want to talk about something and I am disappointed. I should talk about it with other people so I’m not as dependent on talking to one person.”) (or even, “I learned I do not like clubs. thank you for teaching me this lesson, boredom and irritation.”)

and then, once it has served its purpose, toss it in the trash let go of it because you don’t need it anymore.

it’s not that feeling anger/disappointment/sadness/jealousy/fear/etc. is bad and you should never feel like that. those emotions have a purpose! it’s important to listen to them! but then, once they have done their jobs, you can dunk them in the Big Recycling Bin Of Abstract Concepts.

I realize this is a lot easier sounding than it actually is but tbh I prefer this framing than like Mindful Awareness or whatever the parlance is because meditation never made sense to me until I thought about it like this
