Simping My Way Through Life

And Dom is just a sex man 🥺🥰

to everyone asking if what they went through was ‘really’ trauma: it was. if you feel you were traumatised by it, then it was trauma. there’s nothing more to it than that

We all have different experiences and it's always sad to see people devaluing the things they've been through and sometimes not seeking needed support because they're convinced it wasn't "that bad" and other people "have been through worse".

This!! 🙌🏻👏🏻 Your worth is not determined by how productive you are or how much you work. We have it drilled into us from a young age that we only amount to anything if we're working as much as we can and constantly busying ourselves. Rest and "doing nothing" is often penalised or frowned upon. I grew up witnessing a lot of internalised capitalism in my mother. I'd see my teachers or be alone more than I would see my mum, as she'd often be working 60+ hours a week and have left for work before I woke up for school and not getting home until the evening or night time. My mum could never, and still can't, bring herself to sit and do nothing - she hated having days off and resting, feeling miserable if she wasn't working or doing chores around the house with just sitting down and watching TV rarely being an option for her. This rubbed off into how she communicated with me and how she still does, if I'm not doing things she sees as productive I'm often shunned as lazy and worthless. Internalised capitalism is toxic and working through it and realising your value as a person is not linked to work isn't always easy but you'll feel much better when you do.

This is such a mood. I have so many things I’d love to say - the things that are so hard to keep to myself, taking away all of my energy trying to hide it. But I don’t know how I can even begin to say it all. I’m scared saying anything will just ruin everything. Maybe some day I’ll grow the strength to speak my mind.

Oh well isn’t this a mood 🙃

All. The. Damn. Time! 🙃 Gotta love living with a mental illness and chronic feckin’ loneliness whoop whoop 🥳🥳
