Stop being neutral. You need to have faith in yourself and stand up for your beliefs. I see you are tangled but it’s time to trust your wings so you can rise above that situation. You have to expect things can happen for you too and I see many blessings coming your way, they are about to knock on your door but you need to put the effort of walking up to the door to open it. You just can’t stand in confusion and contemplate whether to open the door or not. Or pick that call and let it ring till the screen goes black again. You’ll say life seems stagnant and you feel so stuck but even if something is right in front, you need to have enough confidence to face the consequences. Ik that you are having a hard time adulating, life does feel scary when you suddenly get independent but if everyone was scared like you, the ones who came before you then they wouldn’t even be able to get out of their house. They trusted themselves and they overcame this fear. It’s a cycle. Comfort zone does feel good but then you feel stagnant too right. So what will you do? You will trust your developed wings and fly out then you’ll see so many beautiful ,colourful and vibrant flowers. You’ll see trees, you’ll realise that whole is yours and there are more garden around you with various fragrances. You’ll even realise that your favourite fragrance and your favourite colour seems to change. You’ll slowly evolve and you’ll not even realise. You’ll look back at your old self and feel so proud of yourself of this time that yes I was not meant for one garden but trillions of gardens. The warmth of sun will make you feel alive again. You’ll feel energetic and you’ll be happy:).

Ok so you are unable to say no in your everyday life and that is what has burdened you, tired you and exhausted you. Things don’t manifest for you because you are not prioritising your sanity. You make others happy instead of yourself. You are waiting for something to happen but what I feel is that what you want you, you do everything it’s like you are standing right in front of what you wanted but suddenly you get a call from behind, you turn around and go to help others or just stand there to let them know you are there. Love yourself like you love others. I feel as if everyone loves you and adores you but this has created an invisible pressure on you to always be their superhero. It’s time to reflect and explore what the inner you is screaming at you but you can’t hear. You need to open up your throat chakra and learn to say no. I feel you’ve got mute to your emotions. Your emotions are also you and you just can’t treat yourself so unfairly. You are not obliged to meet anyone’s expectations really. Set yourself free, take a break and recharge yourself. Once you rest yourself enough I feel that things will happen for you smoothly. Make time for yourself, you need it. Stop sacrificing yourself for others and feel your breaths. You are alive for yourself, yes we have to be there for others but you can’t expect your 1% charged phone to go on forever, it will turn off and you will have to plug it in to charge enough so you can use it again. Same way you are required to charge yourself. Take care of yourself. <3

Someone you love has been sick? You lost some kind of opportunity because of them. You could have done so much in your life but your life stopped because you had to take care of someone significant in your life. Because of all this you feel no drive or inspiration. How long has it been since you last laughed? Laugh and laugh till your belly hurts. Watch a stand up comedy or see funny videos but laugh and smile more often. For those who have cats as pets, they feel you and they love you a lot. You have started to procrastinate a lot because you want to escape reality. Maybe you started some business and it failed too so now you are hard on yourself by pinching money. Money is coming towards you so don’t lose hope. This phase is temporary and will soon pass so don’t you worry. So many responsibilities and you have a hard time juggle all of them. Spend time with your pet and smile more often. For most part I feel it’s between a love interest and finances you are stuck, in between your creativity and inner child suffering so try to stay more optimistic, everything will be fine, trust me!

You need to protect yourself energetically. Everyday imagine white light surrounding you as a protective barrier. Moving forward, I see that you have been betrayed and things have just been chaotically bad for you in 3D. For some you have lost someone you loved and if it calms you to know then know they are in a better place. Also stop wanting to stand out, i think it will be better if you get lowkey for awhile and not have everyone’s attention on you because you have lot of evil eyes surrounding you. You also let the past stay in past and not move with the whole damn shackles in the present. You need to break those shackles of past events and move forward. Life ahead of you is colourful and vibrant, you will have many choices in life especially in love and friendship matters so next time you shower, imagine the water cleaning you and all the negativity flowing down the drain. I can already feel how light you’ll feel both internally and externally. There is hope and the sky will get clear, you’ll see sun and rainbows again. If possible sit in the presence of God or pray that you get calmness and comfort.
i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.
Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re at a low point:
If you were a fictional man right now, there would be *at least* ten people if not a large portion of the fanbase that would call you their wet beast poor little meow meow
When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".
It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.
It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".
Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.
When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.
It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.
That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.
Hey idk what writer/artist/creative needs to hear this but: You can create the most garbage self-indulgent poorly made full-of-cliches awkward ugly piece of art on the entire planet and you're still allowed to be proud of it and share it with the world. In fact, I outright encourage you to be proud. You deserve it. I love you. Keep making things.
Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".
Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"
And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".
Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.
At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.
So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!
Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!
Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!
Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.
Go out and spend time in nature. Meditate on a tree and visualise yourself as the tree, letting the earth absorb all the turmoil, chaos and negativity into the earth.
Rely on your family for support, listen carefully to their advice. Especially your mom.
Spend time with your pets, they can feel you and they want to give you comfort. <3
Doing artistic creativity will you feel better about yourself, listen to music which lifts up your mood.
Self discipline, strategise and prioritise what works are more essential then do it in an organised way. Don’t let the scattered work overwhelm you. Also, you can ask your coworkers to give you a hand. Don’t shy away.
Don’t let others expectation weigh you down.

Walk away from situations or relationships which drain you.
Stay away from conflicts.
Listen to podcasts, music, ted talks or even tarot reading which make you feel better.
Set healthy boundaries for yourself in respect to any situation.
Join a class or go to a workshop-get new experiences which help you achieve a new sense of perspective.
Go out attend parties or ceremonies because they will prove to be comforting for you.
Close your eyes and meditate.
Take decisions more mindfully and spiritually rather than investing yourself emotionally in return draining yourself without actually coming to any conclusion.

Time for some inner child work- do things you loved as a child.
Be silly and do silly things like dance silly, sing in silly way and eliminate the fear of being watched or judged.
Your mom loves you but don’t let everything she say determine your worth.
Spend time in nature especially around colourful flowers.
Be patient with yourself and nurture yourself like a mother.
Appreciate how far you’ve come and don’t belittle yourself.
Take care of your health.
Build a routine which is more in alignment with your self healing journey.

Sit in stillness, look inward and find power within. It’s important to rest.
Seek mediation and find literature that focuses on ways to quieten your mind.
Find a new hobby, the one you truly enjoy doing.
Handle situations skilfully and with confidence.
Face new job or financial situation with grace like a newly formed butterfly balancing possibilities in its delicate wings.
Know that everything happens for your highest good.
Delve deep within yourself and find what truly nourishes you. Self development is the key.
Spends time around waterbodies to bring more clarity.
You should eat mushrooms 🍄?! ( it supports healthy immune system)
In my opinion, Bruce should be above average height or at least average. But since he surrounds himself with demi-gods, aliens, meta humans, etc, he's just dwarfed next to them. Like maybe about 6'1 or 6'2, but that's NOTHING compared to Diana '7'3 feet tall' Prince. Or Clark '6'9' Kent.
All the tabloids claim he has to be at least 5 feet tall because the only photos they can get of him are when he's next to his giant ass friends.
It is also my personal headcannon that all the robins stay shorter than him, except Jason, who should be at least 4 inches taller.
you wanted zoro to be on whole cake island to fulfil your weird desire to see zoro punish sanji. I wanted zoro on whole cake island because I think he's stupid enough to right place wrong time the plan and accidentally marry Sanji in full view of the whole wedding party in what becomes the most elaborately constructed comedy of errors ever written. we are NOT the same.
