To all my trauma survivors, those with any disabilities, mental illnesses or more.
If you got the opportunity to magically go back and stop your trauma from happening, or magically 'fix' your mental illnesses or disability, and you wouldn't take it? You're still valid. You're valid to be angry, to hurt, to get help, to heal, to receive accommodations, just like everyone else.
I'm a trauma survivor. I wouldn't change what happened. But that doesn't mean it should have still happened.
I'm disabled. I wouldn't change that, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't get aid for it.
I've suffered from mental illness. I wouldn't change that. That doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to get help and heal.
Mostly, because there's communities of people like me. People I feel connected with, people I can empathize with, people I understand and they understand me. I'm terrified of losing those communities. I feel... accepted, in those communities. I do not want my experiences erased if I was given the option.
But just because I wouldn't magically change what happened, doesn't mean I want to go through it again. It doesn't mean it should've ever happened. It doesn't mean I deserved it.
And, it could be my brain making peace with what happened. It could be a coping mechanism of mine to try and find the positive in my lowest points in life, hell, I do think that these experiences and burdens shaped me as a person today. But that doesn't justify it ever happening.
But you can't magically fix that. But if I could, I wouldn't, and my trauma and my disabilities are still valid.
And so are yours. If you've ever been asked the question, "If you could change X-" and you lied with yes, or directly said no? You're still valid. You're allowed to be... attached, to these things, and still deserve help and aid.
You're allowed to still be angry. Be upset. Be confused. Be emotional. Be afraid. Be scared. And STILL not want to change the past, to want a magic fix. You're allowed to want to heal, to get better, but not have your experience erased.
You never need permission to be allowed to heal.
It'll be okay.
You're still valid.

I hate people who try to be somewhat progressive but loop around to being extremely ableist. like "yeah I support mentally ill people, disordered and psychotic people but if they show symptoms that align with said disorder or illness then they are no good to society" you people only care about making yourself look good sometimes I swear...

GAAAH the therian/nonhuman community never ceases to amaze me. There's literally the coolest fucking people, creatures, characters, gods, angels, items- you name it. ITS JUST SO COOL!
Sitting over here kicking my feet bc a deity followed me back. scrolling my following and seeing what my dinosaur friend is up to. i just- GAAH
not to mention just how welcoming everybody is, it's wonderful. in all this adversity in such a cruel world we live in, we have a (semi)safe space. I wanna see this community grow and seeing people talk about how it used to be EVEN BETTER?? GODD we need to get some of that back.
keep being wild and unpredictable :pointing at viewer: share your stories and write some, do crafts, take up coding, whatever. just do it. you wanna know who's really good at learning crafts and hobbies? YOU!! get got nerd >:) go be a creature rn
