also when fleetwood mac was like “can i handle the seasons of my life?”

I told someone today that they are important. It broke my heart when they told me "no one has ever told me I am important before." If no one has told you, you are important. You specifically, are important. Your existence matters. Your life matters. You are important.

Me when a man is actually charming: he's at minimum bisexual. don't lie to me

Honestly I especially support self-absorption in cases where someone comes from a negative, broken home life and has practically needed to be their own cheerleader to wrench themself out of whatever self-deprecating thought loops their family has contributed to. When all you’re taught is negative self-speak, when you grew up being constantly compared or verbally berated or told you’re not good enough, you literally need to go out of your way to outgrow that thinking. And I do think that starts with turning the lens on yourself, romanticizing your life, constantly affirming to yourself that you are worthy of space and time and whatever your heart desires. You literally have to constantly hype yourself up where no one else has. It’s quite literally necessary.

And yes, it goes without saying that founding confidence on a basis of action is invaluable to this. We should be doing that too. But when you were literally automated to diminish all the good and focus on all the bad, that takes mental reframing that we have to be very intentional about as well. Those things go in tandem with each other. That’s why I never find it cheesy when people are openly proud and sing their own praises. 80% of people were not raised to think this way, and had to instead really grow into it. I do truly find it necessary in the process of unlearning self-flagellation as your default.

being intuitive is just like... i don’t like this and no i will not elaborate
