Sameness

Obsessed with this pic of Jeremy Wade (the river monsters guy) in his 20s lol

THIS!

Reblogging this too for folks with anxiety like myself who feel bad when they say they’re too busy but they don’t have every second accounted for doing something so they feel almost like they’re lying. Self-care goes on your schedule too, lovelies.

"SURVIVING"

I love the message and artstyle but did they have to give the cute lovable gator depression? T^T carry on lil buddy, this too shall pass

The gator is the whole point. It's a stand-in for the author that has felt the need to suppress the aspects of themself that others find unappealing, their anger, their sadness, the things people find abrasive or just "weird" in order to make themself more digestible for the people around them because the alternative is to be alone. The gator is only "cute" and "lovable" because it was not allowed to be anything else.

JERMA?

I could have lived in peace (stayed warm in my bed) but my enemies (job that pays my bills) brought me war (e-mails i have to respond to)

self-care phrases to boost your confidence

Strange how it works sometimes. I hope they're both really happy and stable. That's life, that's life. Nothing is truly permanent and the law of the universe is change and I have a hard time being okay with that. Maybe that's why some people feel stuck, it's an over correction to stop the change of their environment. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe I'll think about that again tomorrow. It's an interesting subject that might be good to work through.

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

btw I have neither changed nor lived my life and am still waiting for it. hope this helps

I'm working on it, Susan, I'm just a few years late.

Didn't mean to keep you waiting.

Finally looked at my Spotify wrapped and my top artist is an obscure French Canadian synth pop band. Yes I am in their top 0.01% of listeners. Yes I had one really weird week back in May.

Hey that's me!
