New hair just dropped 🥰 and I'm loving the spooky smoky fire vibes

The "performance paradox: worrying about your competence actually reduces competence by draining your mental resources and spiking stress hormones." Brains are so fun! Well, good to know. Compliments literally exit my brain immediately, unless I record them for later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Jo...

My roommate made me an egg sandwich this morning on some herb ciabatta and it's SO good. She consistently shows me how good a roommate she is. I gotta step up my game

Everything you want is in front of you. You're just new at changing this mindset & will learn through trial & error how not to look behind you seeking a familiar past comfort. Remember, you only feel discomfort when your life is ready to move forward. Don't question your ability to save yourself

Inconvenience is the price for the community, & I'm happy to pay it. Am I hurting today? Yes. But my neighbor Invited me over, asked for help, & said he was making us chili to thank us. So OF COURSE I'm going. He's a cool guy I'm happy to build our lil neighborhood community, even if I'm sore

When you are used to running for your life, a normal stroll might feel boring. Same goes for your nervous system. When you're used to chaos and wired for struggle, normal progress can feel slow & boring, like you aren't doing enough. I see you trying & You are doing enough.

ADHD friends, what's your latest Hyperfixation? I'd love to hear what's got a hold on your brain ♥️🧠 Mine currently is listening to people speak about their near death experiences 😅

Don't get confused between those on stage WITH you and those who just bought a ticket to the show

Do not explain your soul to pihranas

You do not always need to understand WHY to find peace in the HOW.

Interrupt the bad pattern however you can. Even if it's small. If you notice it, clap, bark, something small to re-boot your system that you wouldn't have done before. Break the chain and take that opportunity to re-set.and change the path.

It's ok to hope for happiness, not merely scraping by or satisfaction. you deserve more and I dream of SO much more for you

Do not pour your energy into an abyss

What's the most important skill you think that's helped you thus far in life? For me I think it's the ability to take criticism and use it for positive change without taking this personally. What about you? I'm curious. What skill that you have now would you give past you sooner if you could?

Seeing others name their gifts, celebrate them & have energy to share them. I'm happy so many can. Maybe one day I can too.

You know You know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing floating Bouncing back and One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and... If you havent heard this cover PLEASE listen to it! 🥹🥰 music.youtube.com/watch?v=U6RL...

I sometimes feel like I'm drifit g through space, like a star who's light no one can see. I'm tired of life being so hard for so many humans. I'm tired of those In power not having that same empathy and using manipulation and propaganda to convince us it's not a problem or someone else's fault.

It is not the success of your self improvement that is worth celebrating, but the desire and willing eagerness you have to try that is the true gift to rejoice.

Greatness is not separation through exhaustion, or Special otherness... You don't need the acknowledgement of others to validate what you contain

We have no obligation to mourn white supremacists. Move on.

Anyone else going to demon slayer tonight?! IM JACKED!

the most saddening thing, as you heal, to realize how you were trained to abandon myself. I didn't realize putting myself last, unawarely sacrificing, & viewing my own pain as mandatory was my default. And I hug past me as I heal these patterns. Original art: Susitse.art - Essi Välimäki

Conflict deferred is conflict amplified.

If your future child, or best friend describes how your partner treats you as how THEIR partner treats them... Would you be happy for them? If not, it's not the right relationship

Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

I am going to hold on to the joy from this pride event for a while. Seeing queer people and families just have a good time makes me smile so much 😭🫂♥️🏳️‍🌈

The cost of community is small inconvenience. And it's 100% worth paying.

The next level of your life requires balance. Being able to do the inner work, care for your physical body, & allow yourself to rest is a prerequisite.

Honestly I'm so proud of myself lately. I'm happy on my own and have really seen myself level up in healing. I'm noticing better when I need rest and allowing myself to take it in a way when I used to harmfully push myself. Grateful for the assistance from my visible arm band on this as well

I've only had my visible arm band for almost a week, but the feedback is helping me pace myself a lot better and I actually slept good and woke up well rested for the first time in YEARS 😭 Even if it's a one off, I'm grateful! 🥰 #chronicallyill #POTS #Visiblearmband

I just had to do a double take because I saw an ad where a guy mispronounced fibromyalgia as "Fibro-Malasyia" Like huh? Sir I don't think people from Malaysia are any more prone to having fibro than anyone else dude 😂 #fibro

I found out yesterday that the mall of America is 33 years old, which is weird because I also turn 33 later this year. The mall of America is only a few months older than me? Thats WILD.

Having my visible armband these past several days so far. Literally got up to get some cookies from a friend (cause she was dropping them off) & visible was like WOAH DAWG I didn't realize how many basic things had my body so tired! NO WONDER I'm exhausted all the time.

When you think your cat is slow blinking at you but he's actually slow blinking at your pasta salad 🙄

Being open about what your going through, with community you love and trust, makes things a lot easier 🫂🩷 So joyful to have the community I do, even if I'm grieving they're here 🥰

Grief is hard, but I'm happy my grandma can be with my grandpa again. 🕊️ I'll miss you.

Do not pour your energy into an abyss. You cannot fill someone else's cavern on your own, nor are you meant to.

The partner you end up with is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.

I got my bestie and I one of the JJK cat plush blind boxes. It's a goofy tiny thing but JJK was the new age anime that brought us both together so low-key excited to open it tonight! One of the first blind boxes where I Iike all the options & I won't be upset no matter which I get 🥰 #JJK

People who are struggling with managing their own feelings and engage in avoidant patterns to cope DO NOT have the capacity to handle your emotions either. You cannot change a person. They are struggling on their own & their capacity or lack thereof is NOT a reflection of your worth.

Ive spent a lot of time working on healing my trauma (cPTSD), my mindset & doing my shadow work. But now I know it's time for the next step, to work on taking care of my body. My meat mech if you will. If you focus only on the mind, it's like fixing up an engine but not the body of the car.

Why are there SO MANY CUTE KEYCHAINS. I can't have EVERY keychain but my heart 🥰 wants all the keychains.

I am slowly learning how to actually care for my body, my meat mech if you will. Being chronically ill and now knowing what's wrong while trying to solve it feels like throwing eggs at the wall & hoping they stick. But now that i have an idea, the things I'm trying are actually helping 🥺😭
