"Everybody likes those stories about killing one butterfly and the entire future is altered, but why don't we believe that there's one little thing we can do now that might alter the entire future for the better?"

- Rebecca Solnit, from the ten part series Uncertainty and Possibility-Meeting the Climate Future

I am a chrysalis. It is a difficult phase, melting down all that you had built around yourself to protect yourself, all the work I have done, accumulating insight and skills, until I have wrapped myself in a shell to come back to the most basic part of myself to rebuild myself into what I am meant to be: a human beautifully flawed and brimming with vitality. In some ways, I will always be in the chrysalis, always breaking down to build back parts of myself more truly me than before. Break and build. Break and build.

But, soon, so soon, I will fly. Oh, how I will fly.

knowing it’ll get better someday doesn’t make it better now, but it does make now worth enduring.

it’s worth the fight today. the ground you claim inch by inch is the soil in which you will plant seeds to nurture and care for, until the fruits of your labor feed you and the family you collect on the way.

#and those people spring up where you least expect them #be true to your shape #and you will find where you fit #or at least learn to carve out a you-shaped niche #it takes time #but it is worth the effort and change #beetspeaks #solarpunk #positive change

I realized a week ago when I was forcing a switch (despite my friend telling me that it was a bad idea since the alter that I was trying to get switch in clearly didn't want to front) that I lack respect for the other alters in the system. I don't know why I feel this way and I want to change this. But I don't know how. Our system lacks communication due to unknown fears of mine and I know it is the reason for these issues. I struggle to respect myself so how can I respect others that are similar to me in the body?

This turned out pretty long, so here’s my TLDR - full version under the cut:

I’ve been in your shoes, anon. For me, treating my alters as individuals rather than parts of me helped me start treating them with more kindness. Communication can probably get better with practice - especially if you start out with some genuine apologies and commit to positive change. Therapy would probably help with this, but you don’t have to have tons of self respect in order to start respecting your headmates. It will be hard to commit to making better choices about how you treat your headmates. Don’t give up though!! The more you choose to be kind, the easier it will be to choose kindness in the future. Best of luck with this - I really know how hard it can be.

💫 Parker

Hey, so I’m my system’s host and it also was very difficult for me to start treating my alters with kindness and respect at first. I have LOTS of issues with self-hatred, and I hated these other people in my head who were stealing my life away. But even though I still have some issues with self-loathing, I do think I’ve made progress with treating my headmates a bit better.

In our system, we’ve kind of done a 180 from treating each other as separate individual people to treating each other as parts of a whole. At first, seeing my alters as other people really helped me start showing them kindness. Since I couldn’t show kindness or respect to myself, trying to view my alters as separate people helped me distance myself from them in order to be a bit more compassionate.

You might struggle to respect yourself, but do you respect your friends, family, loved ones? How about people who help you even as strangers, like service workers and first responders? Idk but for me, trying to see my alters as individual people separate from me helped me see their humanity and begin to accept them for who they are. I know attempting to unlearn self hatred and poor self respect is a huge undertaking, but maybe starting by trying to respect your alters as people would be a good way to start.

As far as communication goes, that’s something that will definitely require time, patience, and practice. In all seriousness, your alters might not be interested in keeping in touch with you at first if they don’t feel respected. So don’t give up if things seem to move slowly or not at all at first. If you want, you can check out our post on establishing contact with headmates, which might help y’all a bit with forging better connections.

It may help if you start off on the right foot with some apologies. Alters have thoughts, feelings, wants, and desires, and they deserve to be apologized to when they’ve been wronged. A simple “hey, I’m really sorry for trying to force you to switch when you didn’t want to,” or “I’m so sorry I haven’t been very respectful of y’all - I want to make an effort to treat you with more kindness and make an effort to get to know you” Can really go a long ways with patching things up. Of course, it may take some time for them to come around and start trusting you, but if you show a willingness to change and make some real efforts towards it, I really believe you can start to make a difference.

With all of this, therapy would probably help. A therapist could help you work on your difficulties with self respect, and could probably help your alters feel more seen and understood, too. I totally understand if you don’t have access to therapy or don’t want it for any reason, but I thought I’d still put it out there.

All in all, I don’t think you have to respect yourself in order to respect your alters - and these things will come with time and patience, taking things one day at a time and one choice at a time. Every time you choose kindness and compassion (for yourself or your alters), you’re taking a step in the right direction. You might slip up sometimes, especially at first, and that’s okay! It’s important to learn to forgive yourself for your mistakes - what matters more than our past choices are the ones we make in the present. So as long as you keep at it, keep trying to show your alters compassion, even if you can’t do the same for yourself, and try not to dwell on past mistakes, you really can improve.

Key word here - try. Keep attempting. Be relentless with your attempts at kindness. Don’t give up, even when it gets hard. Cuz it really will get hard. And you will probably slip up. But as long as you get back up and keep trying, you really do have the ability to make this huge change. I believe in you! And with some time, I fully trust that your alters will start believing in you too.

Anon, I really am wishing you the best of luck with this. It’ll be slow going, but I have full faith in your ability to start treating the rest of your system with the respect and kindness they deserve. I’m so sorry this got so long, but I really am wishing your whole system a future full of kindness, respect, and self compassion. I hope this helps - I’m really sorry if it doesn’t. Anyway, thank you for reaching out.

💫 Parker

Signs You Are Dissatisfied with Your Life and How to Transform It

Life is a journey filled with highs and lows, and it's completely normal to feel dissatisfied from time to time. However, recognizing the signs of dissatisfaction is the first step towards positive change. If you find yourself resonating with these signs, don't worry; there are proactive steps you can take to transform your life.

Signs of Dissatisfaction:

Lack of Passion:

You feel a lack of enthusiasm or passion for your daily activities.

Your interests and hobbies no longer bring you joy.

Constant Comparison:

You often find yourself comparing your life to others.

Social media triggers feelings of inadequacy.

Routine Overload:

Your days feel monotonous, and you're stuck in a repetitive routine.

The excitement and spontaneity seem to be missing.

Lingering Stress:

Chronic stress and anxiety have become a constant companion.

Minor issues trigger an overwhelming emotional response.

Unfulfilled Goals:

You set goals, but they remain unachieved.

There's a sense of unfulfillment despite reaching certain milestones.

Transformative Steps:

Self-Reflection:

Take time to reflect on what aspects of your life are causing dissatisfaction.

Journaling can be a powerful tool for self-discovery.

Set Realistic Goals:

Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable steps.

Celebrate small victories along the way.

Explore New Interests:

Step out of your comfort zone and try new activities.

Rediscover the joy of learning and exploring.

Cultivate Gratitude:

Focus on the positive aspects of your life.

Practice gratitude by acknowledging the good things, no matter how small.

Connect with Others:

Build meaningful connections with friends, family, or community.

Share your feelings and seek support when needed.

Embrace Change:

Be open to change and adaptability.

Accept that growth often involves stepping into the unknown.

Remember, dissatisfaction is a natural part of the human experience, but it doesn't have to define your journey. By taking proactive steps and embracing change, you can cultivate a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Life is too short to settle for dissatisfaction. Use these signs as a guide, and take the necessary steps to transform your life into one that aligns with your authentic self. The journey towards fulfillment begins with a single step – are you ready to take it?

Lihatlah dirimu sekarang, niat baikmu sekarang Allah lancarkan, Allah buka jalannya. Padahal hanya sekedar niat.

Semesta turut bersimfoni, dengan irama yang diarahkan konduktor semesta, Allah.

Ia menyambutmu saat kamu mulai 'mau' kembali, bahkan itu hanya sekedar 'mau'.

Maka bayangkan di masa depan kelak, ketika kamu sangat dekat dengan Allah, sehingga dunia kamu lihat hanya sebagai perantara dan alat tukar agar kamu semakin dekat dengan Allah.

Maka lihatlah kedepan, bagaimana kamu menyadari niat banyak orang yang tidak mereka ekspresikan, karena mereka tidak biasa.

Maka rasakan masa depan dengan kepuasan sejati, ridhonya Allah.

there will always be better days.

im sorry if today was not what you were hoping for, or if you are sitting at home filled with unexplainable sadness.

this feeling will pass and you will be happy again.
