queer Black she/they here’s the thing, fuck everyone

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

not a meme but i think it would be pretty fuckin cool if we all did this. and not just for a month, but until we start getting what we deserve. they only profit off of us. they don’t deserve our attention. eat the rich.

Jesus I want to kill myself or be killed I fuckin hate this life

Oluwatoyin Salau, a 19 year old protester and activist vanished after tweeting about being sexually assaulted. Her body was found Saturday night. A suspect has been arrested, but keep saying her name. Keep turning your outrage into action. This shit is far from over. “the least protected person in america is the black woman” (@/musegold on Twitter) #JusticeForToyin

Paperwhiite, Narcissus papyraceus.  Grown in water and just starting to bloom.  We started in December 15th of ‘17 and used Cornell’s method of adding a small amount of alcohol to the water to stunt vertical growth.
