Puppy Brain 🤪🐾

Their carer finds them all the time, standing on a stool to stir pasta they’re making, muffling their cries with a teddy bear or cleaning up their own scraped knees. And carer is trying to be patient, rushes in and tries to take over so kiddo knows they’re not alone and they’re being taken care of now.

“I tan do it…”

Dinosaur agere moodboard

you have inherent worth simply by being alive. you are not a failure or unworthy for struggling with your mental or physical health. you're just a human being in pain.

you are not a burden; you have a right to support, care, & community, and it is not your fault that this world isn't built for disabled & neurodivergent people.

your emotions matter. even if they're big, or "out of proportion" to other people. everyone experiences life differently, and you deserve people in your life that treat your emotions with respect & kindness.

you are doing your best. i believe you. you don't need to compare yourself to others, or your hypothetical best self. who you are right now, in this moment, is enough.

it's okay to struggle with change. it can be scary, stressful, daunting, and confusing. you're allowed to take your time in figuring things out. you don't need to have all the answers today. life is about experiencing, not being perfect.

i'm glad you're here. many more people than you believe are glad you're here. it's okay. you're okay. you may not feel okay, or may not be doing okay: but as a person - you're okay.

Happy world otters day!! Squeeekk!!

🌿 - Draw them a pretty picture or make a fun craft for them

👒 - Do they have a job? Make them a snack box or even a whole lunch! Always ask if they have any allergies!

Are they fictional? What’s a food both you and that character would like? That way you can still eat the food and it won’t go to waste :)

🌿 - Bake them their favorite cookies

👒 - Play doctors office when they’re sick! Make sure they rest while you help by doing whatever you can (make a simple soup, bring water, bring plushies, help clean up their room to feel less stuffy, etc!)

🌿 - Ask them how or what they’d like to play with you! They could have fun new ideas!

👒 - Make kandi bracelets or other kinds of diy jewelry for them

🌿 - Participate in a quiet activity together, letting you both recharge

👒 - Have a movie night in or a nice picnic in a place of your choice

🌿 - If possible, help them with a chore you know they don’t like

👒 - Buy a gift for them! Do they like plushies too? Or maybe there’s clothes, merch, or a video game they’ve had their eyes on?
