Sad: It Is Happy For Deep People

he gave her last piece of food they had, completely unselfish act, and her giving it back because he needed it more, tony did that.

nebula opening up to the team, becoming trustworthy and equal, not falling back into her old ways, never trusting or falling under thanos’ abusive influence and desire to make him proud, tony did that.

thank you natasha for showing us we don’t need actual powers to be superheroes

thank you for still being a great character even though the production of the movies always tried to sexualize you and pass the image that you were nothing more, always making you flirt with all the male characters. but we know you’re way more

natasha romanoff was pretty much the first female superhero i ever saw in a movie and this will always mean a lot

… is that it’s okay to use the things you bought.

Those crafting supplies you’re hoarding, USE THEM. MAKE SOMETHING! It’s okay if you mess up, the joy is in the creating.

That fruit you bought cuz it’s your fav and now you’re saving cuz it’s special? EAT IT. ENJOY IT. YOU DESERVE IT.

Box of paints that’s so beautiful all untouched… OPEN IT. PAINT SOMETHING.

For me there’s two factors that go into this.

Coming out of scarcity, it’s hard to buy a thing and use it up. What if there’s no more? What if that’s the only chance you get? I can’t promise even myself that won’t be the case. It might happen. Or something could happen to me and I won’t be able to use my craft mountain. You just gotta do it.

Believing I’m worth it. This one is harder. Years of abuse starting from the religious brainwashing of my childhood on through emotionally and physically abusive relationships as an adult have taken their toll on my self worth. Therapy and witchcraft have helped reclaim so much of that. But some scars are always gonna be there. And at times it’s hard to convince myself that I am worth having nice yarn, or nice fabric, or nice paints. That I am worth using the paper to draw and make mistakes because even though I’m not a great artist, it brings me joy.

Not everything I make has to be the equivalent of the Sistine Chapel. It doesn’t even have to be instagram worthy. It can just bring me some joy for the little while I was creating it, and I’m good enough for that.
