I wanted to share the sweetest reddit post I came across

My (21F) boyfriend (21M) and I have been together for 8 months and he has been hesitant to take his shirt off around me. He was molested by one of his uncles from the age of 9 until he was 13 years old and the trauma he has is still there. He never took his shirt off as a kid and gets really uncomfortable when people touch him. He didn’t let me hug him or hold his hand the first month we were together and the first time he asked for a hug I nearly cried. He is the most handsome man in the world and has the biggest heart imaginable. I’m happy to be his girlfriend.

He is really into fitness and goes to the gym almost every day. He started working out when he was 15 as a way for him to take back control of his body and he really enjoys it. He struggles with anxiety and considers me and the gym his safe spaces. He has really nice body and works hard to maintain his physique. Last night he came to my apartment and was complaining about being sore. We were laying on my bed watching tv and he kept moving around and trying to get comfortable. He fell down some stairs two months months ago and sprained his AC joint and yesterday was the first time he has been able to work out that shoulder. He was really uncomfortable so I asked him if I could rub and massage it for him. He shut the idea down but I assured him that he was safe with me and I would not do anything to him he didn’t want.

He was still unsure but said he wanted to take this step with me. I offered to take my shirt off with him and after a minute of reassurance he agreed. We took off our shirts and he looked so beautiful. He moved up in front of me and I began rubbing his shoulders. He flinched at first but relaxed and said it was helping. He asked me not to touch his lower back so I stayed around his shoulders and neck. I massaged his shoulders for about a half hour and told him all the things I love about him and he was so calm and relaxed.

He spent the night and when I woke up this morning he was in between my arms. We didn’t go to sleep like that so he must have moved next to me in the middle of the night. I started rubbing his back and he woke up and moved closer. It was our first time sharing a moment of intimacy and it was so beautiful. He left an hour later and sent me a text thanking me for treating him with love and respect. I DID IT!!!! HE TRUSTS ME WITH HIS BODY!!!! I WILL LOVE AND RESPECT HIM FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!

Okay so the post I made about me and Liam enjoying the livestream of the concert last night made me wanna do something because the world is a bit shit right now and we all could use it

It can be a tag game if you want or you can just reply or reblog with your own but:

Talk about one positive thing you’ve done or experienced in the last 24 hours. It can be anything at all that made you smile. Maybe an interaction with a stranger or hearing a new song that you loved or getting a raise or maybe you just saw a really pretty flower on a walk. Whatever it is, talk about it and spread a little positivity to people if you can ❤️

I’m just gonna summarize mine from earlier:

Last night Liam and I watched the livestream VOD of the Noah Kahan concert at Red Rocks and sang every song together and just spent a good two hours enjoying no interruptions of real life and no chaos and no expectations. I needed the reminder that me and my adventure buddy can have just as much fun on adventures at home ☺️

And I’m gonna tag some people to get it going but there’s no pressure to do it or tag others: @tattooedbats @madigoround @zerokrox-blog @izzy2210 @simplebtromance @wormdebut @wynnyfryd @legitcookie @sidekick-hero @flowercrowngods @every-aj-needs-an-angel @rozzieroos @griefabyss69 @artaxlivs @estrellami-1 or anyone who sees this and feels like continuing

Don’t let people who fail or refuse to accommodate for your disabilities convince you that you’re a burden, or that you’re faking it. You know your needs best, and asking for accommodation is not ‘asking too much’.

Alt text: A photo with a bird with the text that reads, “Your disability is not a burden or a fake. Other people failing or refusing to accommodate for your needs does not mean you don’t need those accommodations.”

Hey students everywhere, I'm proud of you. You are so much more than enough.

Hey my maggots who're stuck in the education system right now. This is a long post but... but I know how many of you need to hear this, so please do. I just want you to know...

I'm proud of you. I'm so, so proud of you.

For continuing to survive in a system that's so bullshit that it can fail you at art, give you a grade for composing music, decide your seat in a medical college based on multiple choice questions about obscure ecology statistics (that are probably outdated), and decide whether or not you should study literature based on your summary of a pre-approved book.

I'm so proud of you.

i see you, I know you're exhausted, you're losing the love for subjects that were once your passion but now are ruined, you're burnt out and scared, you're studying things you don't even care about.

I know there are some of you who feel guilty even taking the time to read these words. I know, because I was there.

I'm proud of you for every second you spend doing the things you love, for every second you've spent trying so hard, for every second you've spent resting, for every second you've spent doing ridiculous things that made you smile and laugh and cry, for every second you studied and every second that you didn't, for every second you've spent wasting time because hey the point is that you lived that time and that's amazing in itself.

It's a fucked up system. It's broken and deeply flawed on every level, from the administration to the teaching to the budget to the students' mentality to the politics to the inclusivity... it's all fucked.

The more you recognise that, the closer you'll get to maybe realising that truth. That your talent and love for a subject, for an art form, for a branch of science or mathematics or a language, cannot possibly be measured in fucking numbers or alphabets from A to F.

The very idea is ridiculous, yet here we are, believing it.

Let's not anymore. It'll take a while to push it out of our head. But we can do it.

Yeah?

Tell yourself, and the people you know who are at any stage of education right now, all of this. It's not your fault. You're doing so well. I'm proud of you. So much of this is out of your control, with factors that shouldn't matter affecting your grade, with things happening that you can't help. So I'm proud of you. For being you and living. I'm sorry if you don't hear it enough, because you should.

I'm so, so proud of you.

Honestly one of the best feelings in the whole world is to finally -after all this time, find a person who accepts you exactly the way you are. Someone who likes the things about you that others made fun of or criticized. Someone who is kind and friendly to you while others made you feel like you will never belong.

Empathy means the ablity to feel someone else's emotions. It doesn't dictate wether or not someone is a good person.

Lacking empathy doesn't mean someone doesn't care or is unkind.

Reminders for the New Year

It’s okay if your focus is to rest & slow down

It’s okay to set no goals at all

It’s always a good time to start putting yourself first

Allow your goals to be flexible with room to meet your needs

Sometimes progress happens with baby steps & that’s okay

You can start again at anytime

Stope comparing yourself & your progress to others

There is no such thing as “wasting” the year
