Take Care Of Yourself - Blog Posts

Agreed. Sometimes, I'm so focused on orders on the job board or deadlines, that I forget that I need to take care of myself as well. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup.

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won't cure your mental illness, but it'll make it easier to exist in this world.

It's almost summer. The season where we can go to beaches and not have to worry so much about school assignments. Vacation time is started. So have fun, worry less. Dye you hair that color, get that swimsuit, become the person you want to be. Here is a friendly reminder to be yourself this summer, and don't change for others. Live how you want to live.

Trying to figure out why I feel like ass then remembering i havent had anything to drink in like 5 hours

Aaj mera holi nhi logo ko Bye Bye karna chal rha 😅....

Reminder to self:

I just have to say something. Omg. I read your most recent post and I've reread it so many times tonighy, and maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived but it made me ugly cry so hard and I couldn't stop going back to it, like it's so surreal and I'm sorry.

AH I'm sorry!! Thankyou for reading it and it's okay I'm okay, I haven't seen him in years. 💚

Regardless of your body type, regardless of your looks, the only thing that will ever make someone ugly. Is their personality.

If you are mean to people who are just trying to be nice? If you bully people for having interests? If you bully people for the things that bring them comfort? If you bring down someone just because of what they're wearing or their looks? If you start arguments and bully people for not having the same opinion as you? If you never try to respect boundaries or triggers? If you don't respect people's choices that are opposite to yours? You are the ugliest person I've ever seen. So ugly I don't even wanna look at you. So ugly I don't even want to be around you.

But if you are nice, back to the people that are nice to you? If you encourage those interests. If you willingly go out of your way to help someone who's clearly struggling? If you respect and understand the boundaries and triggers? If your kind to yourself and take care of yourself along with others? If you go out of your way to pick up trash on the ground? If your kind, regardless of how mean people are? If you respect people's opinions, even if they are opposite to your? If you respect people's choices, even if you don't fully understand them? God you're beautiful. You're so stunning and gorgeous that I can't stop looking at you.

Looks don't matter. They don't. You can match the "perfect beauty standards" and be the ugliest person I've ever seen. Or you can be "ugliest" person in terms of "beauty standards," and I would want to portrait of you just to look how beautiful you are.

But there are exceptions.

All body types are beautiful and gorgeous, but there is a point where it can be harmful. You can be so skinny, I can see your ribs & it wouldn't make me admire your diet or your figure but that would make me worry you aren't eating enough and not taking good care of yourself. You can be obese and overweight, and that would not make you ugly, no not at all, but it would make you unhealthy and sick. And it would make me worry if you're taking proper care of yourself. There's a balance.

The point of this post is that the beauty standards of today are messed up and twisted. And at some point, people need to realize that the things that make a person beautiful or not their looks. But their personality. And while people are right to point out that all body types are beautiful! There's a point where it becomes dangerous to yourself and unhealthy. And the world needs to realize that.

So please, if not for anyone else, please take care of yourself for me. Will you? I love you. I hope you have an awesome day.

You deserved none of this cruelty it's not your fault some anons will be jerks and will try to bring you down and none of your stories are bad they're honestly really good there may need tweaking here and there but they're really good and you have a passion for it don't let others try and bring you down you are amazing

Another day, another shitty anon come confessing their relationship problems with a yandere blog💀💀

I sometimes wonder what have I done to deserve this cruelty... Am I not writing enough, is my writing shitty, is this why I'm getting this nonsense? This feels like a punishment for something but I frankly have no clue what.

Hey I may not completely understand what you're going through but I know changes are terrifying and especially leaving something that was basically your comfort zone for half of your life but know that you're not alone I'm here to talk to if you want and so are other people, If you need a shoulder to cry on or anything else or to just vent let me know and I'll be there and don't rush yourself to start writing the stories take as long as you need you don't need to rush things you don't need to put more pressure on yourself take some time off and give yourself a mental break ok have a good day

I'm. Home alone at my dad's cat sitting for him so I'll try and get some writings done 😌 I've been stressed lately because of something my mom said.. She wants to move but I don't want to move because if we do then I'll be away from my dad and my friends... And I just can't.. *sighs* I can barely take care of my self tbn 😭 I keep having bad dreams about this but I'm doing my best.. I'm just not ready to move especially from a home I've lived in since elementary school... 😫 but I'll get back to writing soon..

Every now and then I stumble upon posts by artists discussing how to improve at drawing. Some are sharing experiences, while others are asking for advice… and sadly I often get the vibe that being scared and miserable is a requirement for success. Like, if you’re not ready to destroy yourself for your goal then you aren’t really trying and you don’t deserve any success. People are proud of how much they are sacrificing for their skill. Hard work and dedication are definitely important but some of the things I get to read on the internet are plain harmful. It really pains me to see people spread this unhealthy mindset and people as young as their teens believing it.

Please remember: You don’t need to hurt yourself to deserve success.

Be kind to yourself, eat and sleep regularly, give your hands some rest, hang out with friends, do activities that aren’t related to your goal. Staying healthy and balanced is the best way to enjoy what you’re doing – this will keep you motivated and allow you to get things done. We’re all different and if you’re someone who needs more rest and attention to their health then others – it’s ok! You deserve to be healthy as much as you deserve to succeed!

gonna get a little silly and goofy with this one

i’ve been rotting in bed with a fever for four days now which means it’s been four days since i’ve felt the cold, smooth touch of my keyboard and mouse💔

on one end, i’ve been meaning to let what i last wrote marinate for a bit, but on the other miserable end, i miss entering the makeshift portal i’ve created into my characters’ world (‘:

i have had plenty of time to conjure up a million potential storyline ideas that might not ever even come to fruition anyway, so there’s that!

the body and mind are not one of a kind

TW: Mention of Bodily Harm and Mental Illness

Darling,

Why do you bite your tongue ‘till it bleeds

Break your bones with ease

Trap your lungs to not breathe

Clench you teeth ‘till you seethe

Tug your hair out like weeds

Rip your skin to please

The mind who’ll never be

Anything but a disease?

Your body is the temple

Your mind a priest

Before collapsing the ruins

Take down the beast

hey so i already commented on the hyung line but i just wanted to say that the missing you texts are just...so sad and so good and i've recently gone through some loss, not of like, a partner, but my best friend. i just really resonated with the characters you gave stray kids, with the like, i dont know if i'm doing this right, if you were here, you'd do this, etc. i just think you're a really talented writer(i've read other stuff of yours too) and i wanted to thank you for writing the missing you series. i had a good cry, which i still hadn't done about my late best friend, but i feel better now, so...thank you. sorry to bother with something that isn't an ask, though. <3

Hey, you are absolutely not bothering me—this means so much. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m truly honored that my writing could resonate with you in any way. Grief is complicated, but I hope you continue to be gentle with yourself. Your best friend’s love is still with you. Sending you so much love, and thank you for your kind words. <3

May have to shelve the fanfiction I am writing... In my desperation to get it done, I have accidentally subjected myself to the conditions of the Russian Sleep Experiment.

Love this silly guy sm

Yes, I am isolated, not because I don't like people, but because I am exhausted by the world, the noise, the crowds, the long conversations, also because I prefer to be alone than surrounded by people who don't vibrate at the same frequency as me.

・❥・♡・❥・

I'm not saying they are less interesting, I'm just saying that we are different. Our sensitivities and vibrations don't reach the same heights.

・❥・♡・❥・

I also say that the older I get, the more I know who I am, where I'm going and what I want, and what doesn't suit me at all.

・❥・♡・❥・

Often my inner peace I place in my bubble "home" or outside "in the middle of nature".

・❥・♡・❥・

I'm not sociable, I'm a selective empath respecting my feelings, my peace, listening my body, mind, soul.

・❥・♡・❥・

I love people, I listen to them, I advise them and help them... But after all this.. "My self".. calls for a break...

🐚Good Timezone Everyone

I hope you are all doing fine!

I wanted to apologize for not posting so much the past two days or so. I had to do school and work stuff but now I am trying to get used to digital drawing (bc it looks cleaner than on paper and I have the feeling that it would be more pleasing to look at than what I currently post aka my rough doodles on paper).

soo it might take a while until something new comes because I am also kinda having an art block/ loss of motivation but I also made a lil’ sketch for smth I might draw sooner or later (also made in microsoft paint)

remember to eat and drink well and get plenty of rest🐚

We’re sorry for our absence recently we just want to take a break from creating for a while, explanation under the cut

heavy tw: suicide attempt & self harm

for a while now I’ve been doing quite horribly mentally, nonetheless I like running all my blogs just the same even when I feel bad

I’ve attempted maybe three or four times within the past few weeks and one was just a few days ago, and it drained me quite badly

I’ve also been trying to quit SH completely which is a huge task, mainly I struggle with these but if thistle fronts he does too

Anyway we’ve also been doubting our system worse than ever so we wanna get away from all things that trigger spirals of negativity and end up with us in severe danger

have a wonderful day friends, and remember, you’re loved

Doctor should I drink h2o or water..

"Are you like trying to drink the molecule that builds up water or what? .... I, just go drink water, kid, it's healthy for your body and mind." [he sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose. he was defiantly holding back a chuckle.]

i can believe i'm actually saying this about erotica, but the human domestication guide universe gives me hope and comfort no other media has. thank you everyone in the community yall mean the world <3

I've listened to a few of these tips, please take care of yourselves

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

taking care of yourself feels so good.

I’ve missed it so much ☮️☮️

Just a reminder ˚.⁺⊹

You are valuable. You are important. You are needed. You are loved.

The world is not a better place without you. No one is better off without you, even if sometimes it feels that way.

There is a person in this world who admires you. There is a person who thinks you are beautiful. There is a person who thinks you are interesting. There is a person who thinks you are perfect. There is a person who adores your smile. There is a person you saved without even knowing it. There is a person who is in love with you.

You do enough. You try hard enough. Even if sometimes it feels like you don't.

*･｡ﾟ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ*･｡ﾟ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ*･｡ﾟ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ*･｡ﾟ☆*･

I am proud of you and I am glad you are still in this world. Take care of yourself ♡

Even if you can’t have that quiet life you wish for, try to take some moments to be quiet. It’s hard to unplug, it’s hard to be in silence, it’s hard to let go of some thoughts. But try to be quiet even for a few minutes every day, or to at least occupy your mind with things that are not the usual stressful subjects of every day life - like disease, war, social issues. I’m not asking you to become ignorant and to self-isolate. I’m asking that you take a short break before your body forces you to take a longer one when it becomes exhausted.

Remember: you are an angel, take care🪽

☁️ handle yourself with care, never be harsh to yourself in any occasion, might be your hateful internal monologue or brushing your hair too strongly

☁️ take time during the day to pamper yourself and relax

☁️ don't give yourself an hard time, it's okay to say no when something feels wrong; if your not comfortable doing something, you shouldn't be doing that

☁️ do not torture yourself with past mistakes, you did what felt right in that moment with the knowledge you had and the feelings you were experiencing through being involved in that specific situation. You wouldn't do that again? Great than, you learned something out of it! Now let it go!

☁️ you don't have to convince anyone that you are worth it, if somebody doesn't see that you are great and that you are trying your best, walk away, the right people will come

☁️ remember, that sweet little girl of some years ago is still living inside of you and she's counting on you to protect her and realize her dream, don't let other people walk all over her

☁️ your dreams are important, the things you want are important, your vision is important. The people telling you that they're stupid or that you should pursue something different are just background noise

hope you're having a lovely day🤍
