#and gentleness

[chubbyandsubby]

To those who need it, spiritually I'm making you lay on me with your head on my chest in your favourite comfy clothes and I'm gently scratching your skull and petting your back and telling you you did good this week because you did and you should be proud of yourself and if you can't be proud of yourself I'll be extra proud of you 💕

sometimes you become friends with a stranger at sixteen & you end up trying to thank them for the rest of your life

a good test of Christian love is fighting my pride when a friend tells me I am not a good listener/reader/analyzer when it comes to a teacher we have differing opinions on

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

i dont know who needs to hear this but you do not need to go on a diet. you do not need to lose weight as a new year revolution. you do not need to feel shame for gaining any weight over the holidays and for enjoying yourself and the food. you do not need to tolerate diet talk after setting a boundary and if someone cant respect that then theyre being the asshole. you already have a summer body. you already are hot. theres no moral failure or shame in being fat

yes i Am paying real money to make you all look at our new dog. we've had her for 3 hours and if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself. her name is Tater Tot

my first play through and also trying to keep everyone from becoming their worst selves is going well why do you ask
