“Things don’t have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What’s the function of a galaxy? I don’t know if our life has a purpose and I don’t see that it matters. What does matter is that we’re a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven (Diversion Books, April 20, 2014)

i don’t know who needs to hear this today, but

you can always start again

you can change your mind

it won’t be always like this

your worth doesn’t depend on your looks

your character is what matters the most about you

you deserve to be seen

you still have time to figure things out, some people just pretend they did

your best is your best and sometimes it varies

you matter too

you need you, always remember this

The Open Invite

[maxiglow]

things I am hoping for september (mine and yours):

lots of sunlight. fresh fruits. finding new hidden spots in the city. walks around town at twilight. discovering a new favourite book. befriending all the pets in the neighbourhood. more curiosity. more intent. more peace and quiet. more sincerity. a tighter social circle with zero drama. no headaches. no tummy aches, except for laughing too hard. no tooth aches. no yearning, except perhaps recreationally. citrus-scented candles. looooooong conversations. constantly feeling like I don't have to rush. or prove myself, to anyone. journaling epiphanies. movie nights. cuddling. hearing lots of purring. lots of inner discovery. no doomscrolling the news and the same old repetitive feeds. indie gaming. green all around. leaving perfectionism behind, for good this time

Can't believe we're still having this conversation in 2025, but...

Eating disorders do not have a "look."

Autism does not have a "look."

Bipolar Disorder does not have a "look."

BPD does not have a "look."

Schizophrenia does not have a "look."

ADHD does not have a "look."

PTSD does not have a "look."

There are certain behavioral patterns you may notice in others that might lead you to believe another person has these disorders/conditions/traits, but the people living with them do not have a definitive set of physical characteristics. And on top of that, just because a person doesn't obviously display the typical behavior patterns you associate with people with these conditions, does not make their diagnosis any less valid! We don't hinge on your perspective and you don't know what it's like inside our heads. We can look like anything and are capable of far more than you'd ever know.

This is your sign to stop following micro trends and make yourself the “core”.

Bunny bootcamp #2:

Discovering personal style w/ Pinterest.

🙋‍♀️- “hey guys, what are the girlies all wearing this summer!”

💁🏾‍♀️- “i have no sense of style..”

🙎🏼‍♀️- “idk what my aesthetic is!!” *frantically follows whatever trend is going on and doesn’t take time to research what they actually like*

🤷🏻‍♀️ - *buys whatevers trending on TikTok or because everyone else is wearing it and ends up with stuff they never use*

Oh girl, I think it’s time to build some authenticity…

#sidenote: In all seriousness, theres nothing wrong with not knowing. But, instead of mindlessly finding random things, try searching for things that you actually like, yes these things can change. Ofc you can follow trends if that’s what you want. But for those that desperately want a personal style, this read is for you!

Step 1: Utilising Pinterest

If you don’t already have Pinterest, nows the time to get it. I want you to create a board called “[your name] core”. If you have a new account it might be a bit annoying but you need to like and save pins that interest you so it keeps pushing it to you.

Pinterest is amazing for inspiration and vision boards. I find it very therapeutic to organise and add pins and I find myself using it everyday!

Step 2: what pins to add?

Add anything that interests you and something that might only make sense to you. It doesn’t matter what it is, it can be text, people that resonate with you, tv shows, clothing style, dream self inspiration, literally whatever. This is what makes you, you. Keep adding to it whenever you can and when in doubt you can scroll through it. Those pins make up whatever is in your mind and are a clear indicator of your personal “core”.

Step 3: Be authentic.

Don’t feel embarrassed by anything. You can private the board if you feel uncomfortable. This is what we are going to use to properly formate your “core”, so it has to be authentic to you. Don’t try make it this aesthetic bs type thing, it can be messy and random and inconsistent, I give you full permission to stop boxing yourself and let loose.

Step 4: Scrolling through and selecting pins to replicate

Now, all you have to do is scroll through your board once you have added a decent amount of pins. Select a few you resonate with the most and analyse those pins.

What are they wearing that draws you to that pin? What hairstyle are they wearing that you like? How do they do their makeup? What accessories are they using? Why do i like this text so much? Why does this inspire me? What about this person draws me in?… etc.

Once you have compiled a few answers, you now have an idea about what your style is and what kind of mindset you may have. Start replicating that in your real life.

Go thrifting/ to charity shops, order online (avoid fast fashion if thats what your heart aligns with) , DIY by sewing clothes and accessories, printing out posters you like, replicating the makeup you feel inspired by without feeling shame (Which is okay! Being authentic when you’re not used to it is a journey).

Once you feel aligned with your board (or maybe you fully don’t, after all we are forever evolving but at least content in your personal style), you have developed your personal “core”!

not everything you want to do needs to be good or profitable. please allow yourself to just make some doodles, write an unfinished poem, read half of a book per month, be a plant mom/dad with lots of dead plants, be able to play only twinkle twinkle little star on an instrument, dance weird, take ugly and out-of-frame photos.

everything you do is valuable, specially those you do because it makes you feel good.

seeing adults act like mean girls is sooo embarrassing. you’re not cool, you just look miserable as hell

[maxiglow]

[maxiglow]

compliment the people you love. thank them for the kindness they show you. make it clear how much joy they bring into your life because, sometimes, people feel kind of useless yk? kinda not enough. and being seen and recognized by someone who matters makes all the difference. don’t hold back your affection

[maxiglow]

learning to stop hating yourself isn’t something that happens overnight.

it’s a series of negotiations you make with yourself over your whole life. it’s making one less self-deprecating joke. it’s looking at yourself in the mirror with a little more generosity. it’s forgiving yourself for that little mistake.

it’s not one thing and then you’re good. it’s many small choices you can make that slowly make your brain and body a little less uncomfortable to live with

Hope this message finds those who need it!
