stay open, stay kind, stay loving, stay hopeful, and abandon the belief that this is somehow a disadvantage; it is your soft and sensitive nature that will change the world.
225i am open to receive prosperity, success, joy, love and abundance and trust that the universe has every intention of bringing these to me.
17one of the best lessons i’ve ever received was given to me when i went to acting camp in fifth grade.
every kid in the camp would perform a monologue. and after each person went, the camp leaders called on us. and we would have to say something we liked and didn’t like about their performance.
the thing was, one teacher instructed us to replace the “but” with an “and.” so rather than saying, “i liked how you pronounced the words but you were too quiet,” she would make us say, “i like how you pronounced the words and you were too quiet.”
and you don’t realize how much one word can change a whole mindset.
my teacher told us to do this as it was teaching us good and bad can exist at the same time. you can be good in one area in bad in another at the same time.
and that’s something i’ve tried to apply throughout my life. always remembering to replace that but with an and.
“i had a good day and i have depression”
“i went through something really hard and others have gone through things harder than me.”
“it’s super hard for me to eat full meals and i’m going to eat a full meal.”
“i ate a full meal today and i still have an eating disorder.”
“i’m sad and others around me are happy”
it’s something you can always apply to validate your feelings without making it an all or nothing. you can experience a negative and a positive at the same time. it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. replace your but with an and.
870may we all have the privilege of living out our dreams and desires without having to sacrifice any of our values.
9i hold no space for fear. i know that i will never miss what is meant for me and trust that everything unfolds in divine time.
10Other’s success and breakthroughs may make you question yours. HAVE FAITH. YOUR TIME IS NEAR. YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING!!!!
3tomorrow is far away. yesterday is far away. there is only today, this moment, this breath. you’ve survived so many breaths & you’ll take so many more.
1you take a step in the wrong direction & it pulls you in with glee. you are pulling and pulling and pulling - it’s worse. breathe. relax. this is when you should take it slow.
0Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that optimism suits you. Looking for hope in crevices and nooks of the world is okay, it is okay, it is comforting. You are allowed to make squealing yellow sunflowers your aesthetic personality trait and drink liquid sunshine for breakfast instead of cookies wrapped in cynical newspapers on sunny days.
The world is in tatters and the news articles do not make it better, you don’t want to live through historical events that breed violence, you don’t want to live in the world where humanity is blindfolding itself before it self harms.
But, but, cynical existentialism is exhausting. So exhausting. Darling, you are allowed to be exhausted, rest your heavy head and dream of halcyon days. Dream about sharing oranges with your friends and taking a walk on wetlands to explore migratory birds. Dream about car rides with your head resting on shoulders that whisper your existence alive with love. Dream about peace so peaceful that silence is taking a cat nap.
We will build our own safe space like lego puzzles, it will be artistic and wonky but it will smell of us, it will smell of home. We will burst of warmth like flower buds in pollinating season. We will shimmer like pixie dust so bright that happiness will come up to us to take notes. We will. We will.
There are stitches of survival in our sinews and vials of “better days” on the bedside table. We will take our night medicines, we will heal.
Look in the mirror, darling. You rock optimism, blow a kiss, we will get it. We will. We will.

25reminder that you’re not faking your mental illness because you had a good day. your illness is real and valid. having good days does not negate the existence of your mental illness. you aren’t faking it.
1205my mom once gave me advice that she meant more as a joke, but it really helped.
she told me that when a negative thought about myself pops up, to pretend that trump is saying this thought to me.
am i going to listen to me shit talking myself?
probably, yes.
am i gonna listen to trump shit talking me?
fuck no
107saying something mean and then playing it off as a joke doesn’t erase the fact that you said something mean. be considerate of someone’s feelings and insecurities even when you’re being playful with them.
