no connection without willingness to be seen. no connection without curiosity and understanding, without compassion and forgiveness. no connection without tolerance and inconvenience. no connection without the courage to divulge feelings, thoughts and needs. no connection without putting the health of the bond before pride or the comfort of hiding. no connection without embarassing yourself a little. without hard conversations, or the space and will to learn and grow. without accepting and loving imperfection

  I re-blogged this (the first time) in 2014. Today, I tried half a dozen times to re-blog it, and it wouldn’t work. So, I saved the images and re-posted it. I hope it helps make life a little easier. :-)   The original post is by iraffiruse.

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

It's not just flawed, it's flawed in UnitedHealthcare's favor.

That's not a flaw... that's fraud.

I am so serious when I say if you want to learn about light, you NEED to at least look at modeseven’s tutorials. even if you’re not pursuing a painterly style, this is all essential theory that can be easily adapted to different coloring styles. notice how none of these ever say ‘light with these colors and shade with these colors’? notice how this is teaching how light works on a mechanical level, and reminding the audience to adjust the actual colors they choose by context? THAT is good advice.

(if you’re thinking ‘wow I want to study more of this persons art!’ I encourage you to do so, but proceed with the knowledge that modeseven draws pretty much exclusively weird as hell kink art. sometimes wisdom comes from horny places)

Whoever does not know the works of the ancients, has lived without knowing beauty.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

[yungmannn]

You keep waiting for something to happen,

the thing that lifts you out of yourself,

catapults you into doing all the things you’ve put off

the great things you’re meant to do in your life,

but somehow never quite get to.

You keep waiting for the planets to shift

the new moon to bring news,

the universe to align, something to give.

Meanwhile, the pile of papers, the laundry, the dishes the job —

it all stacks up while you keep hoping

for some miracle to blast down upon you,

scattering the piles to the winds.

Sometimes you lie in bed, terrified of your life.

Sometimes you laugh at the privilege of waking.

But all the while, life goes on in its messy way.

And then you turn forty. Or fifty. Or sixty…

and some part of you realizes you are not alone

and you find signs of this in the animal kingdom —

when a snake sheds its skin its eyes glaze over,

it slinks under a rock, not wanting to be touched,

and when caterpillar turns to butterfly

if the pupa is brushed, it will die —

and when the bird taps its beak hungrily against the egg

it’s because the thing is too small, too small,

and it needs to break out.

And midlife walks you into that wisdom

that this is what transformation looks like —

the mess of it, the tapping at the walls of your life,

the yearning and writhing and pushing,

until one day, one day

you emerge from the wreck

embracing both the immense dawn

and the dusk of the body,

glistening, beautiful

just as you are.

Self esteem affirmations

I am not responsible for how others perceive me

I am not responsible for how others interpret my words and actions

I am not responsible for other people's opinions, words, or actions. Only mine.

I am allowed to speak my mind even if it inconveniences others or makes others feel uncomfortable

I can still respect other people's personal autonomy and right to disagree and respect personal boundaries in doing so

Other people's emotional responses have nothing to do with me

I can allow other people to have their emotional space without needing to control how they react or respond to me

I can feel safe and secure in my own ability to ask for better communication, to observe the situation and to know when it's time to pull out, walk away, or change the subject when needed

I am allowed to express my own wants and needs as I find them

I am allowed to have my own thoughts and opinions even if they differ from others in the room

I am allowed to speak up if I so wish

I am allowed to remain quiet if I so wish

I am allowed to remain neutral and observe if I so wish

I am allowed to observe situations that have made me feel hurt, less than, and seek to replace them with better boundaries and personal autonomy to know I deserve better

I am allowed to remove the negative impactful things others have said to me out of my life

I am allowed to cultivate my headspace for a healthier, safer mindset about who I am as a person and what I have to offer

I am allowed to cultivate my passions, my hobbies, my likes, my dislikes, my wants, my needs, and my own voice to do so

I am allowed to be soft and gentle with myself while I try to understand how I feel about myself

I will try to be open and receptive to my own life, my own wants, needs, thoughts, and pursuits of happiness

I will try to cultivate a safe support system that can encourage me to open up and express myself while I try to figure it out

I can allow myself to go looking for outside validation for areas I am needing help or reassurance in

I can also allow myself to cultivate my own headspace for listening to my doubts, my insecurities, and asking myself what they want from me

I can also allow myself to go looking for sources of inspiration that can help me develop my own sense of esteem to mirror and bounce off of until I can find my own

I am allowed to shine as bright as I want to be!

I am allowed to let myself be open and receptive to what the world has to offer me!

I am allowed to be open and receptive to what I have to give back to myself!

I am allowed to talk about and embody all the wonderful things I want to embody in this world and use that as my sword and shield to combat others who try to stop me!

I am allowed! Period!

Hope this can help 🌸❤️‍🩹🧸
