Not a linear existence

As someone who has experienced depression since puberty, I have always secretly felt that I am broken and a waste of time– that good things in life weren’t for me, and I will never be of any real use to anyone.

Well, turns out all of that is made up.

So, please don’t waste your time and health like I have, and see depression for what it is: a misbehaving brain doing misbehaving brain stuff.

In order to heal, I learned through therapy that my self talk was TERRIBLE. I constantly told myself I wasn’t ENOUGH of anything; not smart enough, not happy enough, not thin enough, not GOOD enough.

So, here is my counter, self, and all of you reading this: You. Are. Enough. You’re not suddenly worth something once you’ve lost the weight, or got the job, or impressed your parents, no. You are enough right now.

I am sorry your mind has ever told you otherwise

BEKKATHYST SPRING 2017 GIVEAWAY

~This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Tumblr.~

Please read thoroughly before entering!

Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again; I have a giveaway for you all. This time I’m giving away a larger, more valuable item instead of many smaller items. 

You can find spheres similar to this one in my shop.

What you get:

This gorgeous amethyst geode sphere from Uruguay! Included is a little plastic sphere stand, not pictured. (This baby has a $120 value) 

Rules:

You must be 16 or older. (If under 18 you MUST have parent’s permission)

You must be following me, so you can get updates if anything about the giveaway changes.

Please check out my shop and if you’re interested, you can sign up for my email newsletter here. (Totally not necessary or required, it’s just an option!)

DO NOT tag this post as giveaway. That will risk the notes getting messed up, and this will be ruined for everyone. Please don’t argue about this- for some reason people have said really nasty and mean things to me over this.

Reblog this post to enter. Likes count, too. No giveaway or spam blogs. If you reblog on a side blog, let me know in the tags what the name of your blog is that you’re following me with.

Please don’t spam people with reblogs- you can reblog however many times you’d like, but please be courteous.

Each entry will be assigned a number and the winner will be chosen by a random number generator.

The giveaway ends Wednesday, May 24th at 6 pm Pacific time.

The winner will be messaged and must respond with their full name and address within 24 hours, or a new winner will be chosen.

[Please do not delete captions. Thank you!]
