Your daily reminder to not put "You SHOULD be reblogging this" in your posts because you're going to trigger somebody's OCD. Especially when it comes to topics such as social justice or politics. Yes, your message is important but guilting people into reblogging it is not just reblog bait, but it can harm somebody mentally.

i honestly do not know how the ✨ fuck ✨ i’m supposed to live like this.

my mother will have to work until she dies, and she has been working since 14,

i will more than likely have to work until i die, and i have been working since 16.

my mother works mon-fri every week, and is considering picking up a part time job so she can make money on weekends too.

“saving money” is no longer an option, especially as a low income family/family with disabilities,

but no, people will always tell you that you haven’t been working hard enough, and you must just be unmotivated or plain old lazy.

but this begs the question…

how the hell am i supposed to feel “motivated” to fill a rich man’s pockets,

when everyone i know is struggling with money to some extent.

this genuinely can’t go on much longer. there has to be an end.

✨ A reminder! The holidays are not a happy time for everyone! ✨

please, don’t expect me to “be happy” just because it’s christmas

everyone’s dealing with things that they may not be open about, such as grief, eating disorders, depression, chronic illness, financial instability, etc.

you don’t owe anyone your happiness, and your certainly don’t owe anyone your energy!

take care of yourself this holiday season 💗🎄

one of my father’s hindu colleagues was surprised that my family didn’t make everyone say a christian prayer before we sat down to eat dinner. we were like “….this is your house.” and she laughed and said that her christian friends “make” her pray all the time. like what the fuck. how fucking rude can you be to make the host pray to your god. you are in their fucking house.

you can trust the signals your body is sending you. whatever physical symptom you're experiencing is real. your pain, fatigue, weakness, numbness, unsteadiness, malaise, dizziness, nausea - all of it is real. i believe you. even if you, doctors, friends, or family dont. i believe you.

you should have never had the idea that you cannot be the authority on your own body put in your head. you are the only person on this planet who can convey what you are going through. no one has the right to take that from you. please believe in and advocate for yourself. and know you deserve to have someone advocating for you, too.

Anti self dx ppl are so fucking funny bc every time you talk to an actual doctor about what to do about the immense perpetual suffering you're going through and what the next step should be they're always like "damn idk bitch i was hoping you'd figure that out before you got here lol"

Having chronic illness is wild because you'll be like "oh God I feel terrible today, I'm so shaky and sweaty and I'm getting so tired from going up the stairs, my joints are killing me and I can't talk without losing my breath" and your friends are like "oh no!!! is there any way I can help??" and you gotta look back at them like "no there's actually nothing we can do it just does this sometimes"
