YOUNG KUVIRA (The Edge P.3)

this little freak keeps sneaking into my garden and rubbing himself all over my flowers??Hello?????

and very, very often, self care is not plants and ice rollers and fluffy blankets of peace.

it’s standing over your kitchen sink and crying while doing the dishes because you just want to go back to bed but the dishes need done. and you don’t know why you’re crying but you're trusting you need it. and you aren’t listening to the music that pulls you into a spiral; you’re listening to some cheerful shit your friend sent you. it’s getting up and staring at your fridge and closing your eyes and then cooking yourself food even though you hate it and it’s miserable. because you know that you’d cook for your friend, and you are trying to befriend yourself. it’s dragging yourself into the shower because you know you’ll feel better afterwards. it’s doing mundane tasks with patience, cursing under your breath, trying desperately to give yourself grace. grace is the beginning of care. care is the beginning of love.

we think it’s supposed to be peace and yet the most powerful self care moments are when we hate everything but especially ourselves. and life does not feel worth the loving. to look into that pain and yet choose to care for yourself in however many pieces you are — that is care. love. grace. trust. belief. it hurts because it’s love where there was no love before. it heals because it believes there will be love, one day, soon.

Maybe the reason there are more minions in Despicable Me is because Gru found a way to make more? Like clone them or some shit like that?

You ever think about how they made the minions immortal so that they wouldn’t have to explain how they reproduce

New project finished! (sort of)

I’ve been wanting to make a book nook for ages but couldn’t decide what to make until I watched a video on the backrooms and was reminded of liminal space art especially the pools which are clearly my favourite XD

It needs more resin to raise the water level up higher but that’s going to take a while to arrive so I’m considering it done for now. I’m pretty happy with it for a first try.

Third time I wore a binder. It was more comfortable then the first time!

First time I wore a binder!! Eventhough it is just a way to small sport bra it works very well. It hurt but it was okay because I looked like a guy!

the warriors cats series was so intense cats at war all the time cats gutting each other cats murdering each other in cold blood to protect secrets.. cats having secret offspring that they're forbidden to have.. political power plays & coups.. cats having affairs with cats from other clans.. dying in childbirth.. cat oracles who could perceive omens and prophecies.. forbidden love.. the plot twists with so many main characters dying.. three cats being raised thinking their aunt & uncle are their mom & dad when it's the opposite.. why was i allowed to read those at age 9

one day you think: I want to die. and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book. and I want to die turns day by day into want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun, I want a cleaner kitchen, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else. I want to live.

learning to stop hating yourself isn’t something that happens overnight.

it’s a series of negotiations you make with yourself over your whole life. it’s making one less self-deprecating joke. it’s looking at yourself in the mirror with a little more generosity. it’s forgiving yourself for that little mistake.

it’s not one thing and then you’re good. it’s many small choices you can make that slowly make your brain and body a little less uncomfortable to live with
