Teach your children to appreciate nature and love their bodies and most importantly, to keep an open mind towards things and people they don’t understand.

I yearn 4 curiosity + connection

furthermore once u stick the landing on the whole "being yourself" thing people respect you a great deal for it. not to mention of course how they then realize its possible for themselves, now that they have it tangible in front of them. it can happen here

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

u know what’s funny about growing up is i’m significantly less suicidal etc than as a teenager but im so deeply exhausted now lol and things feel so much heavier for everyone

would say idk what to do about but i kinda do i think (seek/foster (real) connection and support) im just tired. and i think of a case i read of this black lady who was so exhausted she passed in her sleep after posting about how exhausted she was on facebook like just days before. stuck with me it was heartbreaking. this whole thing isn’t sustainable. scared of being tired at this point
