There is a fine line between using your trauma to heal through creativity and remind others they aren’t alone or as a message , a warning of the dangers ;
“ and using that trauma through creativity to make it into reality . ”
. . .
“ You can use your creativity to make your trauma remain a message , a lesson. . . Or have it remain here , in the now and forever . ”

You need to give yourself more credit... Yes YOU!
Some of you, today, are doubting what you've done to fight this fight.
Some of you, today, are wishing you'd stepped up sooner. Pushed back harder. Fought more battles.
I'm telling you, you need to give yourself more credit.
You're here.
You didn't get the vaccine.
You stopped wearing the masks.
You told your friends and family what you REALLY think.
You tried to help them see things too.
You might've lost friends.
Some of you lost spouses.
Some of you haven't spoken to your children in far too long.
Some of you haven't spoken to your siblings or parents in far too long.
Not because you chose to, but because they left you.
They thought you'd lost your mind. That you supported a "racist". That you peddled conspiracy theories. That you were endangering their lives.
You've been kicked off platforms.
Some of you have lost your jobs or been pushed so hard you had to find new ones.
Some of you have been fined, harassed and even assaulted.
Yet you're STILL here.
You're still here.
You're fighting for the truth. Your searching for the truth. You don't care how ugly it is. No subject is off limits for you. All you want to do is know what's true and to be left TF alone to live in your God given freedoms.
You pray. Not just for yourself, but for your enemies too.
Your heart cries out in pain because you FEEL. You still feel and you see the world suffering.
Give yourself credit.
You may not have gone to a protest. You may not have called a congressman. You may not have gone to a school board meeting. You may not have sent money to someone in need.
But you ARE still here. And you need to know that you matter, and you are still making a difference. Give yourself credit for that.
Just don't go back to sleep. Don't tune everything out. Don't get the jab. Don't wear the masks. Stand your ground in the ways you've ALREADY done. You've PROVEN you can do it. Keep doing it.
You know you're on the side of truth and guess what? That's God's side. God made it clear that we must always seek what is true. Do you doubt the truth?
You know you don't.
So don't doubt yourself either. You've got this. We've got this. But most of all, GOD'S got this!
Don't give up now. Keep your head up warrior. You've done more than you give yourself credit for. 🤔

Yesterday, I was out in the sun and it was everything for me. The big white clouds and the summery blue sky with the sun shining brighter than it did in the past weeks.
This is what keeps me alive.
It's probably because over the time I've stopped looking up, my chin has been hanging low due to all the burdens I bury myself under.
No matter what you are going through, and no matter how petty it might seem to others, I know that you are struggling, the sky knows that you're struggling too. Give us a chance and look up, Find the beauty in living.

Hello to my little corner of the internet.
I hope you are all well. This one’s a long one, so be prepared.
Failure. We all face it. Always will. But failure is not a means to an end. It’s a reason to keep going. Times get rough. Life isn’t a smooth sail through calm waters after all. The current takes you to new places, the waves knock you down, and Failure. Failure discourages you. But it doesn’t have to. We are so focused on what we want to do, what we dream to do, and then reality knocks you down again. The point is to get back up. Get up, feel your worth. You are more important than you may realize. You aren’t just another penny, left in the dust. You are a means to a new beginning. Take doctors, people who change the world for the better (most of the time). Do you think they have no doubts? Everyone has fails. Everyone has flaws. But that’s not what defines them. What defines them is their experience, their personality, their passions. They waves will come, they might knock you to the sand, but they are only obstacles. And obstacles can be overcome. It will be difficult, but if you can get your life in check, it will be possible. You are the one who shaped yourself, you are the one in control of your life. Take the opportunity. Life is short. So, take action. Make the most of it. Stand up. Brush it off. You’ll be okay. I know this is long, but it’s something we all need to hear. So please, do it for yourself, and persevere. Face your challenges, for it is just life testing if you’re ready for greatness. Have a good day or night.
Thank you for visiting my little corner, once more. (Or for the first time)

Can I just—
And I can’t be the only one that needs to hear this—
You who dresses like that, talks like that, walks like that, smiles like that, and creates like that because you think it’s beautiful, fun, inspiring—
You are beautiful, fun, and inspiring. I’ll remind you a thousand times.

As a trans man who has had to put painstaking work into body positivity, body neutrality, and my own sense of manhood, I can't help but feel so bad for men who have, seemingly, never felt permission to have any positive feelings about their body and their manhood.
Yes, body positivity and body neutrality are for you, men. You owe nobody washboard abs, or beautiful facial hair, or clear skin, or unblemished skin, or "masculine" features. Genuinely, you are under no obligation to perform any of it. The weight of those expectations is genuinely suffocating. Let yourself remove that yoke from your shoulders and actually live.

I don't know who needs to hear this but:
If he's showing you who he is, believe it.
If his actions don't match his words, leave.
If you're spending money on him and not getting the same in return, stop it.
If he does not communicate properly and does not express himself, he is emotionally unavailable and needs to book a therapy appointment. You will turn blue waiting for him to open up.
You are his partner, not his mother.
If you think he will change for you, it's unlikely. He needs to change for himself.
If you're chasing him, don't.
Stop wasting time on him. It's hard, you love him.. I know. But I don't want you to blink and years have been spent on a man who gives you little to nothing.
If you're the side piece, the chances of him leaving his main are slim. If he's cheating on one, he will cheat on you too. Get out.
If you're being cheated on, pick up your shit and go.
If he's not contributing to the relationship (financially, emotionally, etc), and is a grown man who spends his days on the couch playing video games while you work and take care of the children and home, he needs to get a fucking job or he's out.
Some men will treat you like trash forever if you allow it.
