Fishful Thinking

Kindness is a choice. Let's make it.

life is honestly too short to be embarrassed over anything that sparks even a little happiness in you

I think almost anything can move me to tears if my heart is open. Like it’s actually insane what can make me cry

People who cannot find beauty in every biome on earth are incredibly bizarre to me. "yeah this place is really beautiful but this place isnt :/". what the fuck are you talking about. start admiring that rock and that tree and that bug and that scrubby little plant and that weird animal and that extreme weather right now. im not telling you to go live there but please you gotta start enjoying all kinds of nature im begging you.

enrichment doesn’t have to be difficult/expensive/time consuming for most animals. usually you just need to find the right size of cardboard box

Stop delaying joy until life looks a certain way. You're allowed to be happy while you're figuring things out.

a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me

like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over

I think the concept of introversion may have harmed a lot of people, tbh

It makes it easy to make an identity of being scared. And it's easy to hear a loosely medicalized idea like "I am just fundamentally de-energized by social interaction, unlike other people, who aren't", and then dig in. And really you're just scared.
