You’ve seen your world in ashes, been tied down and hopeless, you’ve been there and you’ve seen it all. And still, you persisted. Doesn’t that say something about you?
Remind yourself of the most difficult thing you ever got through. Now remember: no one can take that deed away from you.
Care deeply enough and you’ll be surprised by your own courage.
They did not expect you to fight. They expected you to cower down, bow before them, accept the fate that they had thought out for you. All the more satisfying, then, to smirk up at them through the blood, saying i'm not done yet. You have no idea of the extent of my defiance.
I will persist. Through all the trials of this world, through all the hardships, all the way down to hell i will persist. I am not done with this world yet. You will still see my proudest hour.
ANXIETY CAN BE A FUCKING MONSTER BULLSHIT LIAR!!!
YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE FUCKING EXCELLENT AND YOU’RE GONNA BE OK!!!
Repeat it until it sticks. Carve it in. Brand the skin.
So i failed last time - so what. It has no bearing on the present. The future is mine for the taking.
I have no wisdom for you today but i can advise you to read the wikipedia article on impossible colours as it will be both entertaining and informative
You are smarter now, more experienced. You see things more clearly. You ask more questions - account for more possibilities. Your world has grown. You have grown.
You've come further today than ever before.
do not accept scraps and bruises, no matter how long they will persist. never waver. say, each and every time, that you deserve better.
draw lines. enforce them. you decide who can cross into your domain.
you don’t need proof that your existence is justified. all existence is justified.
Oh I just saw you saying you are nonbinary and ace/aro! I am also nonbinary and aro (and I think somewhere along on ace, too) It is so nice to see someone else like me around, you are awesome!
Heeyyy, same hat high five!!!!
Also hi I was just wondering how you identify?
I identify.........as a THREAT ;)
Real talk though, i'm nonbinary (agender to be precise) and also somewhere pretty far down on the ace as well as aro spectrum. There may occasionally be some vague, fleeting and difficult-to-characterize attraction too, but this is still the label i choose to use because it's the one that impacts my orientation the most. Thanks for asking!
