we were talking about cats in the vc today
sitcom
a sluge š
i dressed up and did my makeup tonight which has been a years long battle since⦠things, happened.
iāve been fighting more and more to reclaim the part of me that loves being myself and seeing my friends so happy to see me, and getting a message afterwards from someone telling me itās inspired them to try and be themselves more is just such a reward. i want to love myself, and not only does it materially improve my life to do so it improves the lives of those i care about.
itās very nice to know even if iām not doing it all perfectly im still doing it. and it makes it all better
my favorite video of all time ever
like I canāt stress enough that the desire to read every compliment you receive as insincere, mocking, or a secret sign of cruelty is going to poison you. You are not protecting yourself from delusion, youāre just hurting yourself because itās easier than believing that you might be deserving of basic human kindness!
