Be Good To Yourself

I am demonstrably sad, and lonely, and full of fear. But there are other people who will hold my hand, who will point out the hawk overhead, who will give you That Look in a public place. The other day at a coffee shop a child said "look! It's snowing!" so all of us strangers went to go look out the windows. It wasn't the first snow and it won't be the last but wasn't it lovely, like that?

How wonderful to live in a world where birds and frogs both say beep! How wonderful to have an ocean of beautiful sharks with their dinosaur teeth! How wonderful the moon and her changing face, how wonderful the bees and their dancing to communicate, how wonderful shrimp and their forbidden layers of vision! How wonderful, you, and what you will give the world! The way we love things enough to spend entire blogs devoted to them? How people will let me explain my Pokemon team to them? How we will both jump at the scare in the movie, how we laugh so loudly, how it feels to give someone your baking? How wonderful to be alive. I am sorry for forgetting.

1. I would initially think "what the fuck" and be distracted from the anxiety. (Correct.)

2. The cold of the ice would shock my system, bringing me back to the physical world and reality, drawing my focus to the cold in my mouth, and keep my brain away from thinking "I'm panicking, I must be dying." (Correct.)

I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”

He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral

And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it

I’ll keep in mind that being perfect isn’t always necessary. I’ll get stuff done rather than obsess over getting things done perfectly.

When I get tired, I’ll rest or do something different. My level of physical energy will tell me when I’ve been doing too much. I won’t wait for an accident or illness to make me stop.

When I make a mistake, I’ll chalk it up to being human. Even if I think I’ve anticipated everything, there will be outcomes I don’t expect.

A birth chart can be divided into 4 halves: The Southern Hemisphere above the horizon [horizontal line] and the Northern Hemisphere below the horizon, as well as the Eastern/Rising Hemisphere to the left of the meridian [vertical line] and the Western/Setting Hemisphere to the right of the meridian. Marion D. March & Joan McEvers described the Horizon as the axis of consciousness while the Meridian represents the axis of power.

The easiest way to get a quick first impression of what a person is like is to look at how their planets are set up relative to these divisions - a lot of people will look at the “Big Three” for a first impression and while that’s legitimate, I think this is a much quicker and more straightforward way to get an overall idea of the person the geniture belongs to. As a side note, it is not a mistake that the hemispheres are switched in the flat wheel.

Northern Hemisphere [Houses 1-6]: The NH is associated with subjectivity, instinct, and privacy. People with a lot of planets in this half are naturally more inclined to be more private, prefer to work behind the scenes or stay closely connected to their work, favor one-on-one contacts instead of large groups and are more subjective. They relate things back to themselves quicker than those who have less planets in this hemisphere. They also don’t strive for public, widespread success and acknowledgement but are more content staying in their group and true to themselves and their roots.  Keywords: subjective, private, instinct and root driven, personal, introspective

Southern Hemisphere [Houses 7-12]: The SH is associated with objectivity, publicity, and outgoingness. People with the majority of their planets in this hemisphere are naturally more inclined to be objective, sociable and interested in collective and worldly affairs. They are more concerned with what goes on outside of their own life and do not feel such a strong need to relate things back to themselves and are interested by things even when they do not affect them personally. They are more motivated to move away from their roots and want more public acknowledgement and success than those with a preponderence of their planets in the lower hemisphere. Their reputation, status, and work usually matter a lot to them.  Keywords: objective, convivial, status/success driven, collective, extrospective

Eastern Hemisphere [Houses 10-3]: The EH is associated with self-motivation, free will, and action. People with a preponderence of planets in this half want to take full charge of their own life and are thus more self-motivated. They believe in action and free will, are independant and self-sufficient, but can also be less considerate of others in their call to action as well as struggle to follow orders. It is to be noted that these individuals do not possess more free will, but they tend to believe in it more and are more willing to take their fate in their own hands instead of being pushed around by their circumstances or other people. They also make good leaders. Keywords: strong free will, assertive, initiating/pioneering, detached, leadership, egotistical

They plant trees everywhere.

Ecosia updates you on their progress- not with annoying update notifications, but with a button you can click as you type up your search if you’re curious.

The tree count is shown just beneath the search bar.

It is an app too and only takes up 18.2 MB. That’s the equivalent of nine live pictures on your phone.

You can view your own tree count. Mine’s 2,475 trees. I have had the app for six months. Do you know how much acreage that is? It’s a heckin’ ton of acres.

I’ve been working on some memes for class.
