Depression is such a liar. It would have you believe that there's no more joy to be had. Leaves you numb. Struggling to feel any sense of life. But fuck it. I pick myself up as I've always done and keep showing up. Because I know I'm stronger than the lie. I hope you keep showing up, too.

Wishing you some peace today..

​"The softest hearts are often forged in the hardest fires. Being kind isn't weakness; it’s defiance."

Portrait of Breonna Taylor🕯 by artist Alexis Franklin

Get your art, writing, and music out there, no matter what it takes. If it finds even one person who needs it, then the struggle is worth it.

I will never apologise for my passionate, sensitive nature nor my kindness. For those who need a similar affirmation, feel free to repeat :)

​"The softest hearts are often forged in the hardest fires. Being kind isn't weakness; it’s defiance."

Sure, the world may be falling apart, but don't let that stop you from being kind. Don't let it stop you from searching for magic. Don't let it stop you from building a wizard tower out of books and gaining untold powers.

Breathe, my friends...it's Friday. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. 🤎 (Pinterest)

I'd really love for Bluesky to give us the option of making our profiles private. 😐

I had friends I played with in my old neighborhood when I was a kid. But I also spent a lot of alone time in my room listening to music and reading books. I never felt like I needed to have people with me, to be happy. I loved my alone time. Still do. It's where I get to recharge.

Life is all about perspective. If you think about it, the monster under the bed probably thinks of you as the monster over its head.

Even invisible wallflowers have passion burning within them, waiting for their inner creativity to emerge from the walls.

Yeah, that's right, just because there's 120 days until October doesn't mean I can't show some 🎃 love now. Goodnight, friends... 👻

It’s almost the season for fireflies to emerge…

Well multiple solar flares are emerging from the sun and a g3 storm has been issued for Friday but could arrive sooner so keep your eyes peeled for northern lights…

Time to (hopefully) rest my sleepy head. Thank you to each one of you for being, you. Goodnight, friends... 😴✨

Four random facts about myself. • I used to drum in a band. We'd play a lot of songs from The Cure. • I took a photo of a ghost on the haunted ship The Queen Mary. It was put in a book of QM ghost sightings. • I've had bad insomnia since I was a kid. • British shows are my favorite.

Show people light when they are in darkness. Humanity is struggling. Fighting to LIVE & survive. SHOW KINDNESS, EMPATHY, COMPASSION, LOVE💝

Not every day will be filled with joy, but you can try to fill them with books, friends, and fried potatoes, and that's a pretty good start.

Yup.

My heart goes out to all of you who deal with chronic pain, too. It gets tiring trying to be strong each day, when in reality you're just so fucking over the pain. No breaks, just 24/7 pain. You try to find any bit of comfort wherever you can, however you can. Reminding yourself to breathe. 🫂

Happy Pride Month! Embrace who you are. Love whoever you love. The world is better with you in it.

Love is love. Pass it on.

Hello, June! Please be good to us all. 🌻

What could you use more of right now? 1. books & time to read them 2. peace, love, & understanding 3. curly fries & cash 4. all of the above & Muppets

this morning
