The thing is that at some point you need to confront the fact that thinking you’re the worst person on planet earth is also a form of ego.

“You’re not the main character” often applies to people who think everything will go their way. But not every story is a heroes journey. Some are tragedies. Do you see yourself as the main character of a tragedy? You’re not the main character applies to that as well.

Thinking that you’re so uniquely annoying that that literally nobody on planet earth would like you is also a form of thinking you’re special and can also in certain ways be harmful to the people around you.

At some point you need to realize that there is no main character. Nobody on planet earth is inherently at their core more or less lovable than other people and even with very big mistakes almost nobody is beyond redemption or love. And you are not some special exception to either of those things. Thinking that you are is just your ego and mental illnesses talking.

Sometimes getting better involves being kind to yourself. Sometimes it involves getting a damn grip. Which one do you need? That’s up to you to find out. Probably some combination of both.

being uncomfortable becomes easier when you realize that’s literally the point. it’s like working out. if you work out & it becomes easy for you, you already got all you could out of that workout. your body adjusted & is strong enough to handle it now. you’re not improving anymore. that’s why you up the ante with harder workouts, where you’re uncomfortable & not quite strong enough yet. bc eventually you will be strong enough. but if it’s not a challenge, there’s no gain. & that’s exactly how it is with situations out of your comfort zone. the more you put yourself in them, the easier they get—but that in-between phase where you’re struggling is still completely valid and ok and natural. it’s what’s supposed to happen. it’s what’s going to change you as a person. and you should keep doing it

sorry idk but the way the world is so fast and the people in it still want it to be faster is sooo annoying to me. people groaning while standing in line for 3 minutes people being mad the train ride is gonna take 2 hours people complaining that the bus is a few minutes late people being angry that construction work is taking months even though it used to take decades. don't you see the world is already so so so fast in every single aspect can't you understand that being mad will do nothing and just make your mood worse. enjoy the moments of stillness you're given. just stand in line and look at the people around you. sit on the train and watch the scenery. you'll get there.

Has anyone made the “would you still love me if I was a worm” joke about jurdan yet?

Daemon Targaryen and Viserys Targaryen in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022-) S01E01 | S01E08

nine facts, one lie

summary: It didn’t matter that your best friend Robin claims he’s changed, you do not like Steve Harrington. He used to be egotistical, a player, an asshole — and you’re not in any hurry to believe he’s changed his ways.

Never mind that he seems terribly kind now, compliments here and there, or even that he’ll pick you up from a date gone horribly wrong… [16.5k]

[one sided enemies to lovers — you hate steve and by god, does he want to change that] dedicated to my dearest kenny

Fact #1: You did not, under any circumstance, like Steve Harrington. 

It doesn’t matter what Dustin says nor the smug roll of Robin’s eyes, you knew it yourself even if no one else believed it; you did not like Steve Harrington. 

From everything you’ve ever heard about the guy, it was a surprise that he still had any friends — especially with the likes of your friends, a fact that makes you gag when Robin brings it up.

Robin, lovely best friend Robin, who completely betrayed you by associating herself willingly with Steve.

Since the beginning of high school, the two of you had been thick as thieves. Gossip was spilled between the two of you frequently, juicy enough to make even Carol Perkins’ head spin — you talked often enough that it got you split up during class time constantly, giggles too loud to be contained. 

Being at the bottom of the social food-chain —or maybe worse, completely unseen to your peers— there was nothing like sharing snarky remarks between you and Robin about the dunderheads who ‘ruled’ the school through idiotic popularity. 

Robin had a particular dislike for Tina Burgess ever since she’d started the rumour that girls in band were freaks in the sheets and would put out to anyone who would ask. You weren’t sure what had been worse: the obvious dig that Robin wasn’t getting any or the slimy guys who believed it and had the guts to ask. 

You, however, distinctly despised the likes of King Steve.

#the perfect twist

I swear some of y’all lack media literacy. Yes Daemon was less intense because he’s quite literally lost his fire. He lost his spot as heir. His brother continually treated him like crap, his one hope to contribute to his house was through a marriage to Rheanyra but he lost that too. In episode 6 even Laena comments about how Daemon has lost his way. He is aimless. He lacks purpose and he doesn’t think he will ever get it back. He has zero want to be back in the game as we see Viserys offer him a spot at court which Daemon turns down.

When Rheanyra & Daemon are walking on the beach the first real spark you see from Daemon is when she is talking about how miserable she’s been and insinuates that his life has been so much better. It hasn’t. You can see his vulnerability as Rheanyra is handing him everything he wanted all those years ago. The sex scene is tender and careful because this is a choice they are making together. They are choosing each other after years of being unable to do that. It’s not fueled by lust but something deeper.

After the confrontation when Rheanyra proposes the idea of marriage Daemon is surprised. He’s even more surprised that she’s willing to commit crimes to make it happen. The interesting thing she is offering him a place in her court as Prince Consort much like Viserys. The difference is Rheanyra is saying she needs him. In that moment he sees he can actually contribute something. He can help her strengthen her claim and become a stronger Queen. And just like Daemon is reborn. We see the old menace return as he plots & murders. Then when we see him at the wedding he has a new life in him. Gone is the aimless shell he was at the beginning of the episode.

THE ROLLERGIRL WRITING FOR FRANK CASTLE IS MY DREAM COME TRUE

Frank would be such a meaaaaaan dom but I think it hits 10x harder because of the voice. So even if he’s not being mean, just giving gentle direction, his voice makes it sound far meaner.

“Hey. Pick that up, I’m not gonna tell you again.”

“O-okay, sorry sir 🥺”

just so you know i know this dynamic is toxic and i'm not romanticizing it :/ i'm actually sexualizing it
