Sounds legit
Moving against the current is always going to feel tricky. It’s normal for someone who’s doing something different than everyone else to question themselves. To have doubts. Especially because they do not have anyone they can go to for advice, or for the reassurance that they’re doing the right thing.
Here’s the thing you need to remember, the people who succeed in life do so because they stand out. Because they were different. Because they brought something new to fruition. They found a new angle or strategy that they didn’t see anyone else doing and they ran with it. Making them the first of their kind. That’s why they stood out.
Stop looking for reassurance. That’s what your gut and instinct is for. You believing in what you are doing is all of the reassurance you need. Take the risk. Decide that people “not understanding you” means that you are actually on the right path.
Stop looking for peoples approval because we are not looking for their approval. We are looking to succeed. We are looking to grow. We are looking to be different. We are looking to win. They may not get it now, but they will surely believe in you once you create it. “Approval” just means fitting into preexisting boxes and watering yourself down.
You wouldn’t have had the idea planted in your mind if you weren’t ready. If you were not capable of making it happen. Do not let your intrusive thoughts or limiting beliefs take over. Approve of yourself. Believe in yourself. Thats where the magic in you comes to life✨
cat who hacksd the no fly list literally my hero
everyone say thank you greta
reasons to live:
the next season of your favorite show. discovering new songs to play on repeat. cozy evenings where it’s easy to fall asleep. the scent of your favorite perfume or candle. daydreaming about places you want to go. reading something in a book and feeling everything click. the days where everything is golden and nothing is perfect but you see the beauty in everything and that’s enough. bumping into a future best friend by accident. finding beauty in solitude. sipping hot tea or coffee on a quiet morning. hiding in a cozy library. collecting flowers or ticket stubs. closing your eyes to a song on the train. smiling at a stranger and having them smile back. the beautiful colors of trees and flowers. exploring a world in a video game. seeing a fluffy dog and petting a cat. feeling the light breeze and watching the ocean as the sun sets. eating ice-creams and slices of watermelon in summertime. dancing alone in your room. making people happy just by existing. gazing into a starry night sky. knowing that anything is possible regardless of your past. knowing that you don’t need to have the answers to everything. knowing that every day is a new beginning and good things are always around the corner.
For every person who thinks you're "too quiet" there's one who thinks you're an amazing listener. For every person who thinks you're "too clingy" there's one who loves how much and how openly you care about others. For every person who thinks you're "too weird" there's one who admires how you dare to stand out from the crowd. For every person who thinks you're "too sensitive" there's one who respects you for being so in touch with your feelings. For every person who thinks you're "too confident" there's one who thinks your self respect is an inspiration. What's a negative trait in one person's eyes might be exactly what someone else is looking for. It's not black or white.

You are the product of your mindset, decisions and habits. If you are unhappy with your life, you know where to start the change.
A lot of women lower their standards to seem like the cool girl. They don’t wanna come off as a bitch or a gold digger when in reality all they want is effort. That may work for you in the first stages of the relationship but I guarantee you will be pissed a few years in. When he puts 0 effort into doing nice things or actually leaving the house. Don’t set yourself up for failure like that. Be firm in what you want.
Not naturally putting in effort is all you need to know. You shouldn’t have to ask for effort and you shouldn’t have to tell men the kind of man you think he should be. How he treats you is how he feels about you. Period.
adding on—if a person is truly ready for a loving, committed relationship, they will show it in their effort. people like this are rare because it takes a lot of maturity and self awareness to be a loving partner. being selective isn’t stuck up; it is necessary, in any relationship you build. be clear on what you want and stand by it. you won’t need to lower your standards for the right person.

Public service announcement.
Blue/purple lips and fingernails is a symptom of low oxygen in lighter skin tones.
In darker skin tones you're looking for grey or white lips and fingernails. Other places where this may be not evidence is the tongue and gums.
Figured since everyone gets taught what low oxygen looks like on lighter skin. Everyone should know what it looks like on dark skin too.

I make it a rule not to talk about politics here, but
I AM BEGGING MY AMERICAN FOLLOWERS, ANONS, MUTUALS AND ANYONE WHO SEES THIS TO VOTE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS WHICH ARE ON NOVEMBER 8, 2022
If the last six years have not convinced you that your vote is important I don’t know what will.

People often ask me why I won’t report incidents to the police, these are often privileged white people. They conveniently forget what happened to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. They conveniently forget that people with my skin color are killed for being innocent. They’re killed BECAUSE they’re black.
So many of us live in fear of the police and if you think we just want to call them for anything under the sun, you’re wrong.
Let me make it clear for the people in the back: it’s a privilege to be able to call the police and make it out without heavy interrogation, suspicion or death. It’s a privilege to be able to be believed when something terrible happens to you. So if your only answer to my problem is to call the police, or your only question is why didn’t I, sit down and shut up.

There is a difference between being a woman who inspires others to treat her a certain way, and a woman who has to manipulate others to receive special treatment. Manipulation might get you want you want- but its short lived. It's forced, not authentic, and whatever you get from the other person isn't genuine. You are lying to yourself about the situation, and your perception of yourself.
Create your own value and learn how to communicate your wishes. Be the woman that others/men want to do things for and allow healthy flows into your life. You don't have to manipulate anything that isn't for you. Stop creating toxic situations so you can also stop attracting them. You deserve to be treated the way you want, but first you need to treat yourself that way. It always comes back to us.
somewhere in the world
a mother is singing her baby a lullaby for the first time, a shelter cat is going home with an excited family, a kid is starting the first pages of what will be their favorite book series, a couple in a long engagement is finally having their wedding, a gardener is stepping outside to see their produce flourishing and almost ready to be picked, a father is becoming a grandfather eager to hold his new little love, a teenager is putting the keys into their first car, someone is moving on from a break up and walking past a place they used to go with their ex without feeling an ache, a patient is taking their first steps forward after a long surgery, a child is getting all giddy with anticipation for their birthday party
because life all around us is beautiful even though there is chaos and sorrow that can often overshadow it.
