i think ppl with chronic pain should be paid to exist actually

all the time in the universe.

your standards should be high for both your friendships and romantic relationships. everyone you surround yourself with should have qualities you actually admire.

Self-Care On A Budget!

Hey, you! Are you struggling with disability, mental illness, or just need some self-care? Are you tired of seeing posts recommending expensive products or days at the spa that you can’t afford? Well strap on in pals, here are some ways to practice self-care that won’t hurt your wallet.

Go for a walk. 

Take a hot bath or shower. 

Explore in the nearest pretty area to you: a cool area of a city, a stream by your house, a forest nearby, anything you find interesting. Take photos of the things that catch your eye. 

Watch a movie or TV show you enjoy. 

Read a book: find a free version online or check one out from your local library.

Go to a nearby dog park and look at/pet cute dogs. 

Take a nap. 

Clean your room/house/apartment. 

Eat some candy. 

Lush on a budget! You can make your own bath bomb and face masks, or purchase face masks and scrubs for cheap at your local Grocery Outlet/Aldi’s/Walmart/Winco/other cheap/bulk grocery store. 

Hang out with friends.

Draw, sketch, or paint. 

Listen to music— maybe have your own dance party! 

Meditate. 

Cook a recipe! Some things you can make on the cheap: 

Step up your ramen! Add chopped veggies, meat, or whatever you have in your fridge in with your Top Ramen. Take some of the free hot sauce from a local taco chain and add it to your ramen for a spicy kick!

Rice and beans, rice and beans! You can’t go wrong with rice and beans. Experiment with seasonings to make it to your liking, or buy some cheap tortillas to make some burritos!

You can get Rice-A-Roni for less than a couple of bucks! Buy chicken in bulk and freeze part of it, then add chicken to the rice to make a filling meal!

Sandwiches! If you have bread, some kind of protein, some veggies, or anything edible you can put between two slices of bread, eat that! Slice your bread up fancily or toast it to add some flair.

Watch some youtube videos. 

Do yoga. 

Reorganize your living space.

“Being a self aware borderline is honestly the most painful thing I have experienced,

because I know the car is about to crash, I can feel the breaks not working I can feel the panic and the fear setting in I feel the pending doom I can see the disaster just up ahead..unable to stop the vehicle or get out just strapped in and forced to watch myself crash into everyone and everything hurting me and hurting those closest to me. Those most precious and important to me. I am not innocent and i am not running away.”
