just found out you can do more than one thing each day. i was just doing the one

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

oops I accidentally separated myself emotionally from everyone to avoid feeling any bad feelings & it worked but at the expense of my sense of connectedness and belonging

I don’t have a body…I am a body….I don’t own my body….my body is me

not 2 be fake deep but…capitalism commodifies everything, even the self. You think about your body as though you are outside of it. You assign a value to it based on how well it can help you move thru the world. I stand outside of myself saying “at least this body is still young, at least this face is still beautiful. These are things that will help me make it.” Your body becomes a thing. But the whole time your body has been you, and so you become a thing.

Before capitalism, there was religion and the idea that you are a soul trapped in an impur body. The body is an enemy you must fight against to be worthy of the afterlife. And you can’t wait to be free from it and die and become a disembodied soul. That is religion. It teaches you to dissociate and hate your own flesh. In other words, it teaches you to hate yourself.

thinking about that toni morrison quote that went to the effect of ‘you’re looking in your children’s face to make sure their face is clean and their hair is combed and they’re looking in your face to see love.’ because it’s saur true.
