i don't ever overshare. everything i say is essential information to help u weave a rich tapestry of me in ur mind.......

“The most dangerous thing a woman can possess is self-worth. Liking her own body, trusting her own instincts, valuing her own time and company, thinking she’s interesting and special, entering business and personal relationships based only on mutual benefit and respect. Sometimes this leads to advertisers having no idea how to corner us. If we don’t hate ourselves, how will we know what to buy? Sometimes self-worth leads to violence against us. Sometimes, though, self-worth sets us free.”

— Margaret Lyons, The Find Yourself Beauty of Shrill (via howtofightloneliness)

if you have a couple of bucks to spare, consider throwing them to The Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS). they provide counseling and other forms of support to first nations people who are residential school survivors. this is a list of other charities that support first nations people, this list is a mix of charities and ways to learn more about first nation activism and history, and this is a link to a free online college course called Indigenous Canada

You cannot live alone on the fantasies you feed to your mind, eventually you have to touch your life for real, assess and analyze your habits, understand your character, try not to hate yourself for your character as it was shaped when you were very young by circumstances outside of you, and begin learning how to cope with your character, how to build habits that work for you, finish small projects, finish big projects, expose yourself to more uncomfortable situations, assess why you want to leave that friendship before you leave it, raise your anxiety levels on purpose, so that you can grow, raise your work load on purpose, so that you can grow, so that you can build resilience, so that your life expands, and can be experienced by you in full and in reality

Choose people who are good for your mental health.

Quick reminder that although what is happening in Ukraine is inhumane , but so is the occupation of palestine, the refugee crisis in syria or the famine in yemen. these trajadies dont just stop bc it's no longer profitable to be concerned by them.

so while you fight for ukraine, don't stop fighting for the other things just because it isn't trending

keep fighting. stay aware.
