the difference between doing chores or errands on a good day vs a bad day is stunning.

Sometimes on days that are ok physically but bad mentally, I forgot how starkly different it can be.

I start to believe that I'm lazy or not trying hard enough or that I cut myself too much slack or make too many excuses or feel too sorry for myself and really I just need to do better.

And then I have a rare day like today where I am able to easily start and focus on an important, tedious paperwork-related task for two hours, getting it done, and not feel awful afterwards. The amount of willpower it takes is laughably small in comparison to most days.

No crying or bursts of anger or overwhelming exhaustion or inchoate anxiety.

Instead: a moderate sense of satisfaction, and pleasant relief that I'm done.

I feel like a different person. I know it won't last, but even that realization doesn't feel that bad. Because things are pretty good right now.

And I remember:

It's not supposed to be so hard all the time.

That I'm NOT exaggerating or imagining just how ridiculously fucking hard it is to do every-day things.

This is what it should feel like.

~* It's not supposed to feel like the world is ending because I need to open my mail. *~

What did I do differently to make today happen?

I let myself rest. For as long as I needed. For weeks.

I stopped pushing myself so fucking hard all the time, and protected my body and respected my limits and let things go.

It doesn't always give me a magic day. My exchange rate is like, 2 weeks of aggressively resting and setting boundaries for 1-2 days of doing what I want and need.

But it reminds me that pushing through is not the way to get what I want.

Maybe taking care of myself and being kind to myself will get me that day or afternoon or hour of magic, maybe it won't -- but running myself into the ground never does.

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

#i think this is why ive been so much more geniunely happy these last few years #like. i will never be going to bed alone. i will always have someone who wants me here #i will always have someone to say 'im sorry im not feeling very well now' and they will be concerned instead of being annoyed #at you as if those feelings are an inconvenience #scratchpost #txt

I put way too much effort into this ( based on this meme, it wouldn’t leave me alone until it was drawn — I am freee )

I’ve been in such a funk since the concert. I’m not even sure I enjoyed myself that much. maybe I did. I don’t know

#I don’t think I’m a concert person #parts of it were fun but parts of it were like …I’d rather be in bed right now and watching clips of this off tiktok #isn’t post-concert blues a thing? right? it’s a thing?#all I know is I feel really shitty and all I want to do is cry about it

I’m know I’m not the first person to say this, but any newbies on tumblr really need to understand how different this is from a lot of other social media. Particularly tiktok.

I just saw a creator on tiktok reminding followers that it’s actually a problem when someone goes back to the earliest post and watches all the posts chronologically, liking and commenting along the way. The stupid app recognizes it as spam or something and then kinda puts a halt on their account? Literally punishing people for positive engagement?? 🥴🤦‍♀️

I’ve already heard people saying years back how they don’t want to be “creepy” and go through a persons blog, liking and reblogging tons of stuff. But think how many more people are going to be worried about it now, thinking they might do actual damage! Most people, especially younger people, are so used to the way tiktok works now. So please, do not ever worry about this on here. Just remember-

You will never do any harm if you go on a like and reblog fest through someone’s tumblr blog! The only risk you’re taking is to make the blog owner weep for joy!! 😭🤣

#tumblr tips #tumblr newcomers #tumblr is not tiktok #I love me some tiktok #but it is a different animal #this is an algorithm free zone #and thank goodness for that #ok hopefully this reaches the right people #and now i go to bed

decided i’m gonna get this printed as a poster and just hang it above my bed so each morning i can wake up feeling like a victim of medical malpractice

#then from that point the day can only get better #wake up like MEDICAL BILLS?!#and then go oh no nvm #my friend had a one piece poster like this above their bed #i made fun of them for it #look at me now #anyways they look so cute here #despite the fact they look like they’re studying me!#appraising my value!#alas!#house md #diagnosis: yaoi

Let’s amp up the “Jason says ow and the batfam thinks he must be gravely injured” headcanon.

Jason calls Bruce or Dick for fun and says nothing but “goodbye” before hanging up (maybe it’s a dare by Roy who TOTALLY suspects the reaction Jay is gonna get).

Ten minutes late the entire Justice League is scouring Gotham, on the hunt for Jason.
