I Think The Thing That Makes Me The Most Emotional In Life Is The Realization That Everything I Have

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

DREAM TO MEME

We’re past the point of being able to ignore this now. @pixellecutie​’s sleeping brain dreamed a dream of marine biology, and you’ve all really put in the work to make it a meme in its own right. Who knew there were so many benefits to being a marine biologist?

I feel that whatever part of the diagram I find myself in, my mind is capable of spinning a depressing and self-judgmental narrative about the situation. This post offers an alternative to rephrase these narratives and be more encouraging and empathetic to oneself. In the end, is it really our achievements that count, or the story we tell ourselves about the meaning of our life and what happens to us? Some people succeed so much and are never content, neither kind to themselves. Maybe being kind and encouraging towards ourselves through our journey is more important than what we can or can't do. Maybe we need both to fail and succeed, to persist and walk away, if we want to fully experience what it means to be alive. Maybe it is all just very interesting.

This post genuinely altered the trajectory of my life and how i make a lot of my decisions and i think about it so much

Definitely! As a sex worker I can relate to his relationship with his client Eddie. It is clear he does it for the money and is not into him, but he also has empathy for him and cares. I felt like that many times in my job. And indeed it is nice to see a show where a character being a sex worker is just one of the multiple sides of them, not their entire shown personality. I wish we would have more characters in shows who are casually doing sex work on the side:)

I think Lafayette in True Blood was the first unashamed sex worker character I ever saw on TV. He was a multi-faceted character, confident and unapologetic about his sexuality and his work, and I've never seen anything like it since.

He gets a lot of appreciation for being witty and beautiful and unapologetically gay and standing up for himself, and his character is wonderful for all of those things, but I also want to appreciate him for being a sex worker who wasn't 1-dimensional.

it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul

@batshit-auspol congrats ur famous

My first real post on Tumblr! Here’s some art I’ve recently finished, inspired by the game Gris. I’m still experimental with my art style so it was a lot of fun to use the aesthetics of the game in my own art!

Not Mine. Thought to Share.

I have never once wished for Tolkien to still be alive as much as I do in this moment
