Make It Count

hey bro, can you give yourself some grace? cut yourself some slack? maybe treat yourself with the same patience and love you offer to your peers?

please don’t forget you’re loved. anxiety lies. people care. you are loved. It’s ok.

Ok so lemme get this straight the boys get advertised their body weight in protein powder and girls are told to get by on uncooked foliage and I’m supposed to believe that the observed differences in gender are strictly because of sex chromosomes with no cultural influence at all uh huh sure hey buddy what kind of idiot

oh like how sarcopenia (muscle loss) and the associated osteoporosis effects women significantly more than men? and we dont really talk about why, we just assume its biological? like yes okay it has to do with estrogen but HAVE WE NOT COMSIDERED. THAT WOMEN ARE TOLD TO EAT SALADS. AND MEN ARE TOLD TO SUBSIST PURELY ON TOMAHAWK STEAKS. and then men are at a higher risk of cholesterol issues and heart failure in later age HMMMMMMM.

*feels my body get anxious for no reason* what is it boy, what do you see?

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

You can’t see people’s mental health be kind always
