Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)🌈🌈
Sobbing, this is my first ask EVER! Amara, I love you!!
As for five things I like about myself… I’m so glad and so proud that I’m now at a point in my life where this question isn’t scary or anxiety inducing or even dreadful like it once would have been!
1. My motivation to always continue learning and growing
2. How incredibly kind and loving I am.
3. My hair! It’s so cute and curly and I love it!
4. My (many) tattoos and piercings! I love decorating my body the way I like!
5. How vocal I am about my personal experiences with mental health, neurodivergence, and queerness. I spent many years feeling isolated and alone, I refuse to sit idly and let others suffer in silence.
when u get this u have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite mutuals (non-negotiable, positivity is cool!)
Oh good God @ivaspinoza is this you getting back at me with the same positivity? 😭 I guess I have to do it now... 5 things I like about myself:
Hair - would be the first, most definitely. I've started growing my curls some years ago, and now I've been constantly wanting it longer and they curl up pretty nicely which gives me a lot of confidence these days.
Art - Writting, movies, sketching, music were some of the things that stuck with me since I was a kid, I'm glad that I'm moved by making or being apart of artistic creation, wheather it be playing the piano, "trying" to make movies, writting or anything really.
Money - I'm glad I've never been obssesed with money, or gaining as much as possible, yeah, it'd be nice to have a lot of it, but I'd rather scoop up with my soulmate in some godforsaken cabin in the woods.
Forgivness - Sometimes loving it, sometimes hating it, but right now, I like that I have that mindset - Forgive, but not forget, not in all situations of course. I tend to forgive almost everyone, for whatever is that they do or did to me, I certainly don't like holding grudges or being hateful/mean.
Style - I like my style to be honest, I'm definitely more of an introvert, being quiet, but I'm at my most confident going out in grunge, gothic, techwear sometimes, outfits, rings, chains, earrings, it's who I am and I most certainly never disliked that about me.
To follow @ivaspinoza instructions, here I'll try to add 10 mutuals, some old and following for awhile, some recent that I've come to like and follow - @ivaspinoza @vigilantiinkheart @coffeexxcigarettes @fall-asleep-7 @dafreakinfuck @hersurvival @scriptedbutcreative @distinctlyrevived @poetbytheriver @crmsnmth - Spread some positivity You lovely people, and I'm eyeing you Iva especially!!!
anyone ever kinda wish they could be someone else. and i don't mean in an "i hate myself i want to be someone other than me" way i mean like. the desire to know someone else's perspective. to experience everything the way they do. to become and understand every single facet of who they are.
I like the glasses me, the jumper wearing me, the long haired not in a braid me.
I like the me who ends up inside all day because she “wastes” time, but not really, she is just being normal.
I like the girl who dreams a lot but doesn’t reach those dreams because she’s only human.
I like the girl who has to wash her dishes before she goes to bed so there is less to do in the morning AND the…
i love my silly little bee guy. im a bit new to tumblr. it's been years since ive been here. i have other social media apps where i post to but im mainly going to be using tumblr for my oc art. :]
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.
Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.
keep seeing undergrads on social media saying “oh if a prof has a strict no-AI academic integrity policy that’s a red flag for me because that means they don’t know how to design assignments” like sorry girl but that just sounds like you’ve got a case of sour grapes about not being allowed to cheat with the plagiarism machine that doesn’t know how to evaluate sources and kills the environment! I have a strict no-AI policy because if you use AI to write your essays for a writing course it’s literally plagiarism because you didn’t write it and you’re not learning any of the things the course teaches if you just plug a prompt into the plagiarism generator that kills the environment, hope this helps!
can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.
