How To Be Mentally Strong

some people were asking for a actual and i can never pass up an opportunity to procrastinate so here’s just a couple of things i always need to remind myself of…now back to my paper :(

Positivity post for mentally ill & disabled people in school who

* Fail classes * Drop classes * Go to a lower level in class * Fail midterms * Can’t do homework * Have frequent breakdowns because of school * Fail finals * Take summer school * Skip days of school * Fail semesters * Push themselves too hard * Take a gap year * Can’t pay attention in class * Need accommodations * Have low GPAs * Give up trying * Drop out of school * Don’t get accepted into college

Academic failure doesn’t mean personal failure! School isn’t everything, and you aren’t a bad person if your grades are low. It isn’t your fault, and you don’t have to feel guilty about it. Your life isn’t ruined. It’ll be okay.

My laundry basket is self-loading.

please, keep writing. keep drawing. keep painting. please keep making your art no matter how many may try to push you down. the world does not have nearly enough artists. 

Here's my favorite drawings of 2023, wooooo! It's so fun to see all the different seasons represented. I'm curious, which of these do you like most?

Thank you for following along with my art this year! I feel so lucky that anyone connects with my weird little drawings. Your attention and kindness is very much appreciated. ♥

Here's to more growth in 2024!

there is no ‘right time’ there is just time and what you choose to do with it 

simple thoughts to turn your day around :)

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.
