You have got to get it through your head that social media is literally pushing negative content to keep you engaged. Most people are not assholes! Not by a long shot! Most people do not look like those insane beauty standards they’ve pushed on us. Social media is a trap for your mind. It convinces you the worst is normal and the rare is common, until you forget what real life actually looks like. Of course, always be aware of your surroundings because unfortunately, there will always be crappy people, but this world is a lot bigger than your feed would have you believe.

my kink is being a meaningful part of someone’s life

How crazy is it that when it's warm outside, a lot of us feel uncomfortable showing our bodies? We hide certain parts of ourselves and overheat instead of wearing short, breezy clothes simply because we're worried about how we look. It makes me so sad that we care so much about what other people might think of us. So this summer, I hope you feel a little more at home in your body. I hope you find the courage to dress the way you want to. I hope you find peace in knowing that other people's opinions really don't matter. No matter what anyone says, your body deserves to feel the sun on its skin.

i cannot overstate how good it feels to watch older movies where the actors were still allowed to look kinda weird and not be conventionally attractive. like it is genuinely healing

life is hard but we still have hummingbirds
