Always feel

Accepting your feelings, and letting yourself feel is important. You are always allowed to feel, you do not always have to be happy. You are more complex than that, humans were never made to be simple. Pride yourself on your ability to feel, for yourself, and for others. It's always okay to cry, to laugh, to grow frustrated, confused, angry. The important thing is when having those emotions you remind yourself it is not to be ashamed of, your body is telling you who it is and what it needs. Anger fights for you, proves to you that you deserve better. Sadness is the bodies yearning for gentleness and reassurance. Happiness is a reminder to do more of that thing that caused it and encourages you to seek it in new ways as well.

It makes me so happy to finally see a tadc song animation, without those.. not so pretty fan models.

I mean, just look at these little sillies! :D

Vs

These ones.. (No hate, I just find these models too off, for my personal liking.. Especially the extra glossy Caine.)

not relapsing but appreciating the beauty of the concept

[utsaahpsychologyclinic]

"Once you start making the effort to ‘wake yourself up’—that is, be more mindful in your activities—you suddenly start appreciating life a lot more."

Our idea of love can be different than others, never will we be able to make everyone in our lives feel loved but we can try by listening, and observing. Love is not scary but requires effort and hard work at times. This applies especially to yourself, you live with your body and mind every day, and if you look at a wall enough you can find cracks. What is beautiful is those cracks and marks tell an important story about the creation of that wall, they never should be viewed as a burden or things to be gotten rid of. Perfection is unsettling and tells no story, erase your mind of the concept of perfection, have substance, grit, and keep your mind and physical form intact and strengthen it. You are created as you are, and always love the fact you exist, you are here to do great things, don't let your mind or others that don't understand it weaken you or corrode your soul and body, let it reach you to your true potential and spiritual being. With that welcomes those who are meant to see you, witness you, and enjoy you.

One of the most important things in life is just really appreciating it. We only get to do this once, and not for a long time, so enjoy it.

Laying back on the driver seat of the wagon, the amberblood lights up a cigar, inhaling deeply as he watches the people pass by, a quiet yet busy Sunday.

"Women are becoming prettier by the day or what?", he exhaled the smoke with a curious and intrigued tilt of his head.

Nothing wrong with some respectful appreciation, no?

There is something so inherently beautiful about being alive, and just experience living

I'm so happy I finally realised that after years of not appreciating it enough

Some days are harder than others but my god.

At least I'm alive to experience it

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.
