boot up, Bitch

“Boot up, bitch!” is an affirmation

Y'all better take that energy into 2020 and stop playing

#BootUp2020

in case anyone thinks this means “toughen up” Those boot covers are tools. those spikes aren’t an inherent part of the boots your friends, your family, meds if you need them, therapy, healthy life changes when you can, these things are your boots get your boots on and climb those stairs at your own pace, aka: Boot Up, Bitches! We’re making 2020 the year we recover

Please note the handrails on either side. Don’t be afraid to ask for and accept the helping hands that come along.

This is what happens when a bubble freezes

If you and your partner practice frequent, non-sexual consent, your relationship will be healthier and easier.

“Are you comfortable with me ranting about my day for a few minutes?”

“Oh, this is your poetry? Would it be okay if I read it?”

“Do you mind if I use your phone for a few minutes?”

“Wow, your meal looks awesome. Could I try some?”

It will save a lot of grief, especially in a developing relationship. Eventually, with consistent “yes’s” and “no’s” you can figure out more permanent boundaries and guidelines.

“I need to ask before ranting about my day or taking their food, but my partner is okay with me using their phone whenever. However, my partner does not like me reading their poetry unless they offer first.”

And this goes for friendships too! Even just stuff like “do you mind if I leave this door open?” 

if no one has told you:

i am so proud of you.

i’m happy that you’re alive.

you’re going to do great.

you’re beautiful.

you’re important and worthy.

you’re doing so well.

dealing with people who are spacing out

DON’T: -hit them -yell at them -wave in their face in excess

DO: -say their name once or twice -tap them gently and if they don’t respond, -wait patiently for them to snap back into reality

this still applies yo

PLEASE I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH-

No commercial has yet to top this

If the world is 4.5 billion years old, let’s scale that to 45 years, humans have been on it for 4 hours and have destroyed 50% of the world’s trees in 1 minute. That’s crazy.

i don’t mean to sound fake deep but the reason 2018 felt so long was because we’re being fed what’s trending at such a rapid rate that we literally can’t remember half of the shit that even happened anymore. “Black Panther came out in February!” Marvel releases so many movies a year that we completely forget about the last movie as soon as a new one comes out and it repeats in a vicious cycle. “Tide Pods/Ugandan Knuckles was in January!” The life span of memes have been rapidly declining for years and it’s gotten to the point where the average lifespan of a meme is about 2 weeks and then the next thing gets popular and then that lasts for 2 weeks and it just keeps going. We’re literally losing our sense of time because of our rapid consumption of media and pop culture.

Matthew 6:30, Luke 12:7, Psalm 139:13-14

I think one of the greatest feelings in the world is when someone openly tells you how much you mean to them. Stuff like that is so rare
