trying my best over here

hey. hey. if you were/are not allowed to express anger in your household. ily

anger is human, anger is part of processing, anger exists on a spectrum from mild frustration/annoyance to full rage and all can be needed as a reaction sometimes, anger is not inherently abusive or harmful, expressing anger (especially if you have anger issues) does not make you shameful or scary, anger does not make your point inherently less valuable, anger is a feeling you should be allowed to express.

anger is okay. and if your anger is hurting you, that's okay too, and you deserve help managing it. this goes double for people who are often stereotyped as angry or scary (black & brown ppl, transfems, ppl with stigmatized disorders, butches and other masc queers, etc). anger is allowed.

i’m done with these series unless inspiration strikes me again. i got some requests for mythical animals, and while i think it could be cute, i’m not particularly passionate about it. but i will think about it and if inspiration hits, i might do it :)

I come from a long line of people with something wrong with them

Abolish the comic book industrial complex 🙂

Learning to be less reactive is literally saving my life. I’m finally understanding that processing things is not the same as immediately forming a response to them. I can process without feeling pressed to formulate a reaction to what someone said or did or a situation that displeases me. Not that a quick head on your shoulders is necessarily a bad thing, but 9/10 taking a minute to just process could save you so much trouble

People complain about how if McDonald’s paid their employees more, they’d charge us more for food and those same people haven’t said a word when McDonald’s dramatically increased their prices over the past few years all while not increasing their employees pay by much at all

It’s not your job to be a mind reader. Try your best to be perceptive of how your words and actions are affecting others but also understand that you won’t always know exactly how people feel unless they tell you. Strive to aware but forgive yourself if you’re not always right.

On the other end of this, please don’t expect people to be a mind reader. Sometimes we break our own hearts by thinking our loved ones don’t care because they’re not perfectly in tune with our feelings and needs.

Often, they do care. They might not be aware of how you’re doing. Or they might be aware but think that they’re respecting your privacy by waiting for you to come to them. There are so many reasons. But please don’t hold your loved ones to an impossible standard of being able to read your mind. It isn’t fair to them or to you.

god i love coming home and being at home and sitting inside my home and staying home
