there is no "wrong way" to be alterhuman. alterhuman is a unique and incredibly diverse experience for every being involved. no matter how weird or niche your identity is, you are valid. it doesn't matter if you identify as nonhuman, an animal, a concept, an object, whatever else; you are valid and your identity deserves to be respected.

fat people are beautiful and deserving of respect. your weight is not a measure of your worth. there are many reasons why someone may be fat, and many of those reasons are uncontrollable or hard to manage. there is nothing inherently wrong about being fat. fat people are not gross, ugly, or inhuman. fat people deserve to feel comfortable and happy with their bodies, and i have hope that you can feel like that one day.

to whoever needs to hear this: it's perfectly okay to take a bath over a shower. i know for us personally it helps us a ton with avoiding fatigue. for many disabled people it's the only option they have for bathing. if you choose to have a bath just for your own comfort, or to relax, that's okay, too.

there is no such thing as "bad art." your art does not need to be perfect or appealing to be good. you don't need to have found your artstyle yet to be considered a good artist. beauty is subjective and so is the type of art people enjoy. keep posting, and you'll find an audience eventually.

even doing small favors such as opening the door for someone can lighten a person's entire day. you never know what a stranger is going through, so it's good to try and be respectful. it's good to do good things for other people, even if it's something small. small favors are still appreciated by many. translating your negative feelings into something positive, such as spreading kindness, is a great coping skill.
