message for all plurals, systems, etc: its worth it to keep going.

[perspective-for-smile]

having an old memory resurface or a trigger come up out of the blue sometimes doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward and moving on. it’s just a part of the process, and it likely won’t ever fully go away because it’s a part of you and your past. but you are still growing and healing.

terrible news: the only way to find out if something you create is gonna be good or bad is to actually create it

Happy pride month to fellow systems with "it's complicated" genders and orientations.

To those who say "fuck it" and simplify it down, and to those who say "fuck it" and hoard as many labels as possible.

To those with some alters who love labels and others who wish to be unidentified or use umbrella terms.

To systems who've collectively transitioned or had their orientations change because of their systemhood.

Happy pride!

every lesbian plural, system, headmate, alter, part, and so on, deserves a good day. eat a peach or something, you're fantastic! especially the lesboys and mspec lesbians!!

not sure how much this counts as positivity but something thats helped us feel better is making space for our individual alters in our life. even the tiniest bit of acknowledgement.

remember when youre going through hardships, to try and make a bit of time for something fun, relaxing, or just, less stressful. its unfortunately not always a possibility but if you see a way to alleviate your suffering, i think its worth it.

if you were an abuser, an "irredeemable" person, or whatever else in your source, i need you to know you deserve acceptance and care, too.

shoutout to system members who dont front as often. who feel underdeveloped, or like they havent had much of a life since they're out so little. and to ones who feel like theh have a vast amount of experience they never have time to share.

shoutout to ones who want to front more, and ones who are happy how things are.

it doesnt matter why or how you dont front as often - you're just as much a member of your system as anyone else there, and you deserve good things.

plurality will never die. we're as old as the sky, as old as the moon! plurality will continue to exist regardless.

No one in good faith expects you to be perfect.

when i'm upset, i like to light candles and look at gifs of my favourite things! it took me a long time to figure out and i dont think thats too uncommon of an experience for systems - whether it be because you (as an individual member) havent had the time to find these things, because of dissociation, because of anything! so if you can, try and take some time to appreciate the things you know make you happy, or help you feel better. or if you dont know yet, try to think of something, and maybe start looking when you get the chance!

please be sure to be kind to yourselves! eat your favorite fruit, enjoy your favorite products, go and do your favorite hobbies. just have some fun :D

Having a setback is normal when you're healing. Please try not to beat yourself up when this happens. You're still making progress and you can do this, no matter how bad it gets at times.

for those with traumatic source memories, exomemories, and pseudomemories...

please take care of yourself today. your trauma does count even if the memories didn't take place in reality. you deserve resources and help too!

shoutout to introjects who run fandom blogs about their source. how brave tbh

[perspective-for-smile]

Soft reminder to introjects that you don’t have to act exactly like source to be valid and you also don’t have to be source divergent!! Who cares dude?? It’s your own personality and your life!! You can act however you want to!! Who’s to tell you otherwise? Who is somebody else to dictate how you enjoy your plurality? Be who you want forever and ever and don’t let anybody change that (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
