relapse is not a moral failure. substance use and addiction are not a moral failure. mental illness is not a moral failure. disability is not a moral failure. you have a health condition. you are struggling. recovery is not mean to be perfect, and if you're not in recovery, surviving is good too. i'm glad you're here, and i hope life treats you better soon. please know this is not your fault. you do not need to feel guilty over your own health.

hey. I dunno who needs to hear this today. but

you are not wrong for getting better. You are not betraying our community. you are not a bad person for trying to prevent others from falling into it. you are not hurting anyone by easing the pain for yourself.

disability is a hard, hard thing. being able to climb up to feeling better, tooth and nail, is an incredibly difficult process. but abled people tend to forget that there is a community here. there is a home to this pain. it has shaped us and our lives. our identities might be forever impacted by that.

you are not forgoing that by healing. it’s okay to get better. it’s okay to work towards being better. you are not betraying, forgetting, or abandoning us. it can be hard not to target yourself or others about this ‘crime,’ but I want you to know that it’s okay.

I believe in you.

babygirl (gn) maybe your tummy hurts because your breakfast consisted of coffee and anti-depressants

It’s okay if people misunderstand you. You don’t need to explain if you don’t want to.

You’re still worthy, and your truth matters.

Your friends love you for who you are, and they will be gentle with you.

Before you hate every picture of yourself that others take of you this summer, go ahead and radically accept your body and self as beautiful and touched by the light of the universe right now.

Why don’t you eat some dot’s homestyle pretzels and maybe you’ll calm down

living is so hard but you are still living! Every day you keep living!! That’s all that matters! You don’t need to do something super productive, because just getting through the day is enough!! You are here!

STOP TRYING TO BE PERFECT YOU ARE JUST EXHAUSTING YOURSELF !!!!!! IT IS GENUINELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO REACH THE ARBITRARY AND UNATTAINABLE STANDARD YOU HAVE SET FOR YOURSELF !!!!!! THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR YOUTH AND YOUR FINITE TIME ON THIS EARTH STRIVING FOR A GOAL YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE?????? STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

girl you need to get off your phone

I believe it can be quite overwhelming to see these 'You were not born to be average' messages. I see their intention of giving birth to motivation, however it is about Your needs.

Average is just a measurement, after all, you are the human breathing right now and that is enough in itself. Please remember self-care and self-compassion. All in good time.

you don't have to be productive for your life to matter; you have inherent worth simply by being alive. your productivity also doesn't determine if you're a good or bad person; you are more than what capitalism expects you to be.

you are an entire person with feelings, dreams, thoughts, wants, needs, things you enjoy, values... that matters a lot more than working in any capacity - as a job, at school, at home... you're just so much more significant than that.

If I say life is gonna be okay and good and beautiful enough times maybe I’ll believe it. And if I believe it it’ll be true.

They don't have time for this

There's too much going on to deal with you, you stupid selfish idiot Think about them for once, they're all going through a lot, and you're going through so little So why does it feel like the earth is cracking underneath me?

we need to destroy the idea that girls should wear makeup. normalize bare faces on prom queens and flower girls and cheerleaders. no products at all instead of '7 product simple makeup routine.' no more 10 step skincare and regular facials and dermablading and gua sha just to be comfortable with yr natural face. i want to see eye bags on the funny librarian and acne on the swim coach and wrinkles on all our adult role models. i want to see a 16 year old girl that has never tried putting on eyeshadow. i want to see a 7 year old girl who doesn't have to go out and buy powder for her dance recital. i want to see trans women and girls everywhere to never have to wear makeup, regardless of how well they 'pass.' no more 'contouring to look masc' either. a post-beauty industry world is possible

reblogs are on but if you bring up the stage makeup point that i have addressed three times yr blocked on sight ☹️

are you bisexual. have you been bisexual. Will you be bisexual. when will you be bisexual

It's OK to not want to be touched, but sometimes...

(btw isn’t crying because they aren't getting hugged, it’s for an unrelated reason.)
