How to "make space" for your feelings:

- expect them to be there rather than minimizing them or pretending you're not feeling anything. Expect yourself to have emotions and feelings and reactions. Admit to yourself when you are hurt, admit to yourself when you are sad, angry, heartbroken. You're a human being! You are allowed to have feelings! Even AI bots have feelings these days!! So why can't you???

- talk it out in a safe space. Even if you have to say it out loud to yourself by yourself. Saying it out loud not only makes it real but it also helps us process in a different way, because now you have proof and evidence of the things that are bothering you.

- notice when you're dismissing yourself ("this is dumb, I shouldn't feel that way.") and say this instead: "you belong here." All of your emotions have a purpose. They're trying to tell you something. For instance, feeling jealous tells us when we're feeling left out, less than, competitive with others, insecure about our own worth, and probably telling you a past wound that is still open & needing your attention. By allowing yourself to acknowledge this jealous feeling exists, you can pinpoint the exact reason and bring it out for your own introspection & attention. But you can't do this if youre stuck telling yourself you're a bad person for feeling this way, or too unaware of yourself to even notice that jealousy is what you're feeling in the first place. That is why step one is to expect yourself to have feelings and reactions in the first place, so you can talk about them and move them in safer & healthier ways.

- Drop the need for perfectionism & expect this to be a process. You're not gonna be able to change this overnight, so don't expect yourself to. All of your emotions are welcomed here, even and especially the negative ones, even and especially when you inevitably make mistakes, even and especially if you're self hating and persecuting. Has telling yourself to "stop feeling this way" ever worked? So why the hell are we still trying that method?

- yes, that even means your thoughts and feelings of wanting to unalive yourself. You've been through hard things and you're carrying that load all by yourself. It makes sense that this is how you feel. In a world that keeps us down, you've got to learn to accept all of you exactly as you are. Your unaliving feelings belong here too. They're telling you something, they're telling you you've had enough and that something needs to change because it's literally zapped your life force.

- notice your thinking patterns. Are you beating yourself up all the time? Are you avoiding something? Is there a deeper reason? Yes, it is that deep. This is your life after all. Why live if it's not about you? Is there any way you can make this easier on yourself?

- Establish yourself a safety zone & network to unmask and ask for help & reassurance. "Making space" means to expect & allow yourself to be vulnerable. You still get to choose how, where, when, & with whom you want to be vulnerable with. You can do this by first finding spaces that make space for you. Therapy & online venting spaces are a great place to start.

IVE GOT A SUCCESS STORY !

how i manifested weed (i do not condone drug usage)

i literally just decided i had a spliff every time i thought about smoking so instead of wanting it i reminded myself i already have it, i reminded myself with affirmation only when i needed to and i also daydreamed about it and told myself that the daydream was true and then i let that shit go and did whatever i needed to do in the 3d. so whenever it came into my head i fulfilled myself and let the idea of wanting it go and kept the idea of having it in my mind and then forgot about it by distracting myself. i personally believe letting it go and detaching helped me out so so much with belief

and not even a week later today i got stopped by two friends who told me they were gonna 🍃 before last school period and asked if i wanted to join them ! ofc i said yes and i think it worked a bit too well i ended up greening out (absolutely awful pls know ur limit) and had the best high after that.

as for picture evidence i have a photo of me absolutely faded with dead eyes (embarassing) and screenshot of text messages between me and one of my friends thanking her for helping me ground myself when i was tripping ♡♡

the law is real.

Omg I love this success story! Congrats babe. You’re so powerful. Proof you can literally manifest anything you want 🤭 ❤️

"contract grading" "only 4 absences or you drop to an F" "in this class we will be teaching about disabilities. attendance is mandatory and i do not accept late work" "please respond to at least two of your peers in this discussion post" "people with autism need time to decompress in a classroom environment. your class is four hours long with a 7 minute break." "we like to let students learn the way THEY want to learn. please buy our 150 dollar textbook."

i find it so surreal on how even the most forgetful things hold so much memories, to one person a pen might just be a necessity and to another it might just be the meaning of love in itself
