the line between not going out as an act of self-care and not going out as a symptom of depression is but a gossamer thread
(via the greenest home)
it is COLD i do NOT want to get out of bed, i wish to REMAIN in my hedonistic slothful blanket nest and NEVER leave
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes
And yet never grows?
— The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien.
That’s so wild.
People have literally NO IDEA what they do in there. They don’t need their services themselfs. It doesn’t affect their personal life.
Still they think it’s their fucking business and that they actually “pro-life” when threatening to kill people.
Sometimes it is your fault.. Sometimes you don’t listen well enough, you’re selfish, you’re rude and you aren’t always right. Sometimes you fucked it up and tbh that’s okay. It happens, learn from it, apologize and keep it moving. Just because you fucked up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Don’t dwell on it
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
