Another Thing I Just Realized. If You Isolate, Especially For A Long Time, And Then Start Coming Out

Another thing I just realized. If you isolate, especially for a long time, and then start coming out of your shell... You're not gonna suddenly be fine with being around people, being seen by others, or having social interactions.

Whatever reason you were isolating is going to follow you. You're gonna be uncomfortable. You're going to try to hide. You're gonna have a hard time trusting others and being honest about yourself. This is natural.

Change doesn't happen over night. Taking action to put yourself in social situations is only the first step; learning how to be yourself around others and who you want in your life is a whole other ballgame. It's going to take time for you to discover how you want to exist in the world.

That's okay. It's frustrating as all hell. It's scary putting yourself out there. Sometimes it might feel like you'll never connect with someone else - that you'll always be an outsider no matter what you do. You might feel stuck and doomed, but you're not.

You are capable of growth and healing. There are people who want to be your friend, who will love and support you in ways you didn't think was possible. They will be patient with you as you struggle and change. Not only that, but they'll be proud of all the progress you made, and continue to make every day.

I say this to you, and myself. I'm experiencing this firsthand, and I've been being so mean to myself for not living up to whatever standards I've placed on myself. I can't push myself to be someone I'm not ready to be, to do things I'm not ready to do. I only have today, and who I am today.

So everyday, I can put some effort into exploring myself as a social creature. I can be more gentle and patient with myself through the process. It's not going to perfect; I'm just one person, and you are too. We'll both be okay and get through this. We are allowed to take things one step at a time, one day at a time.

One day we'll be able to look back on where we are now and see how much we've grown, how much happier we are. Until then, we'll hold on for the ride and keep going. ♡

If someone tells you to listen to a song, listen to it.  It may be the worst song you have ever heard but they wanted to share it with you.  That is really special.  If it makes them feel a certain way and they are so adamant about you hearing it, take 5 minutes to hear it.  It shows a lot about someone.

Okay- so I watched Spider-Man no way home last night and THOUGHTS!!

(obvious spoiler warning so scram if you haven’t seen it lol)

-this movie single handedly fixed any issues I’ve had with the character writing from all three franchises, and I’m honestly amazed???

-THE VILLAINS!!!!

-So are we just not going to talk about the Peter vs. Strange show down? Because I feel like this needs to be talked about. He used geometry-

-The scene is Happy’s apartment where Peter used his spider-sense?? Filmed beautifully. I’ve never seen it perceived like that before and it perfectly showed the raw panic Peter felt in the moment. I loved it.

-May’s death- It hurt so much, yet felt kind of right at the same time? I hadn’t expected it, and the fact that we had two movies to get to know her character made it that much more painful. Don’t even get me starting on the “with great power…”

-The scene after her death in the rain was breathtaking. One of my favorites. Just the way it perfectly represented the battles he was facing as both Peter and Spider-Man with only a few shots.

-I feel like the Green Goblin has rightfully taken back his place as Spider-Man’s archenemy. Willem Dafoe was outstanding and honestly terrifying. How he was able to out due his last performance amazes me.

-My favorite adaptation of Mj and Peter by far. Loved every moment with them.

-Wow…Tom Holland played Peter Parker perfectly. He truly was Spider-Man. Every decision he made felt so in character and I’m truly blown away. Phenomenal in every aspect of the word.

-The last scene, when he was swinging through New York with his new suit, is without a doubt my favorite Spider-Man moment from all franchises. It was perfect. It was just him, left with nothing but the city he loved, and something about that felt so right to me.

In conclusion I can’t wait to see what Marvel has in store for this Spider-Man. It will, without a doubt, be something amazing.

OKAY BUT PICTURE THIS!!!!

soc spin-off, right? We get through the whole ice court heist, we’re on our way back to ketterdam. In the book, now is when we get the “I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.” But we’ve already gotten that scene in the show. Inej is already off on her own journey, and she’s had to come back for the heist. But the point is she (and most likely Kaz as well) have gotten through more character development compared to the books.

Which means that THAT scene will have to be replaced with something BIGGER, a step further into their relationship. I can’t even begin to think what it could be like (no gloves??), but I know it will definitely have me screaming.

But do you know what that means as well? The scene of Van Eck noticing Inej as Kaz’s tell and kidnapping her (which happens right after this) will have ANOTHER whole new level of ANGST, and I’m not sure I can handle it.

I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.

I’m screaming, I can’t wait.

Grover, portrayed by Aryan Simhadri, stands facing the camera. He is wearing an orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt. The subtitle reads "But you haven't told Percy anything yet?"
Dionysus, portrayed by Jason Mantzoukas, sits in a chair at a table, diet coke can and candles on the table in front of him. He is wearing a Hawaiian shirt covered in tigers with a white undershirt. The subtitle reads "No. No one is gonna tell him anything."

Hey. Hey you. The person aimlessly scrolling, stuck in an immobilized standoff with your brain

It's not your fault. You won't be stuck forever. I know you're trying. I know you hate it. It's ok.

And tell the Mean Voice in your head that it's not helping. It knows as well as you do that you would get up and Just Start the task if you could. You're not doing this on purpose.

Take a deep breath. Relax your jaw. I see you trying so hard to break out of it, but you can't force it. You'll get Unstuck eventually. All you can do in the interim is be kind to yourself.
