AND YET A TRACE OF THE TRUE SELF EXISTS IN THE FALSE SELF

They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.

tricky words I always see misspelled in fics: a guide

Viscous/vicious – Viscous is generally used to describe the consistency of blood or other thick liquids. Vicious is used to describe something or someone who is violent. 

Piqued/Peaked/Peeked – To pique someone’s interest is to catch or tease their attention. When something peaks, it reaches its total height or intensity. To peek (at) something is to look briefly, or glance. 

Discrete/Discreet – this is a tough one. Discrete means to be separate, or distinct, i.e., two discrete theories. Conversely, when someone is discreet, they are being secretive or cautious to avoid attention. 

Segue/Segway – one is a transition between things, the other is a thing you can ride at the park and definitely fall off of.

Conscious/Conscience/Conscientious – to be conscious is to be awake, i.e., not unconscious, or to be aware of something. Your conscience is the little voice in your head telling you not to eat the entire pint of ice cream. Finally, to be conscientious is to be good, to do things thoroughly, to be ruled by an inner moral code. 

Hope this helped! Please add more if you think of them!

Sorry for not being great at structuring posts like these, but I needed to "vent" so read if you want :)

So I was watching a channel called "thethirdbill" and he was watching steven universe music videos and I was like, super super happy the whole time because he was being super emotional towards it, and he didnt even know what steven universe was and It was amazing. And I realized that I think I accidentally emotionally connected with this SU, because when someone compliments the show, I feel complimented, so idk what it means rly but I just though j should share because I think its interesting 💫

Just a reminder:

Feeling invalid and like you’re faking your disorder is PART OF YOUR DISORDER

Wanting to starve yourself but not actually being able to do it is PART OF YOUR DISORDER

Recovery does NOT come easily

Constant binging is PART OF YOUR DISORDER

Being able to eat normally without guilt for periods of time is PART OF YOUR DISORDER

Being able to restrict easily one day and not the other is PART OF YOUR DISORDER

Please treat your minds nicely

“You seem to have made a series of miraculous recoveries, but that doesn’t change the fact that you experienced trauma. You’ve recovered physically, but have you recovered mentally? …Adverse childhood experiences, or childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on how your body responds to stress. This can affect your social, emotional, and physical development. When humans are in crisis, the brain releases the hormone Cortisol; your heart races, your muscles tense…I think all these experiences have been subjecting your body to a harmful amount of stress, and that’s affecting your body’s ability to respond to new forms of stress in a healthy way! You’ve been dealing with genuine threats from such a young age, that your body is now responding to minor threats as if your life were in danger.“”
