i do therapy with teenagers. and...yeah. i have teenagers who's parents are amazing. and i have some who's...fucking...arent. and my GOD the difference. the ones whose parents are good have so much bounce it is INSANE. the ones who dont are so riddled with damage i want to wrap them in bubble wrap. here's the fun thing tho - the ones who dont? get better when you take care of them. i am literally watching it happen. like...if you take care of a traumatized kid? they fucking heal. they heal and gain resilliance right in front of you, like magic. is it as good as it could be if they got it from the start? no of course not. but is it still a miraculous amount of repair and strength? WOW YES! and adults can heal too! so dont ever think its too late to recover or that the support you get is cheating, its not! its part of what all kids, and you need to heal!

getting back into studyblr/journal content after a long hiatus but most of the accounts i loved are inactive! please please please help a struggling gre prepper out and feed me some motivation if you're a studyblr (or mostly a studyblr) reblog this post and i'll follow you

Remember that post? The one that said “what if we all have super powers but they’re so mundane we don’t realize?” That post? This is proof that post was right

It’s okay to be a beginner at the things you are interested in. There is no reason to feel intimidated by people more advanced than you are, because they too were in your place at one point. Keep learning and growing and expanding in whatever it is that you love and let nothing and no one stop you. You don’t have to be at the same stage as someone else. You can just be at your stage and that one is okay too.

Little achievements are important too! Yes, the ones that don’t sound impressive. Got out of bed? Eaten? Did something nice? Did some chores or homework? Went a little longer without relapsing? It’s all important! Be proud of your achievements, no matter how small.

yes i know heartstopper is "cringe" and yes I know you think it's not that deep but you've endured years of cringe oversexualized shows about high schoolers where the gays are delegated to sub plots I'm sure a few hours of queer people being safe and happy and loved won't kill you so please shut the fuck up
