And I've Been Meaning To Tell You

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

I love all handmade stuff, but before I started knitting, I always wondered why folks poured so much time and energy into making stuff that looks exacly like what youd buy at a store.

It very quickly hit me: store- bought stuff SUCKS. Handmade stuff RULES.

The kinds of stitches used, the thickness/ quality of yarn, even the dimensions of the item itself are just so shitty and cheap on mass- produced clothing. Once you know what youre looking at, you can see that its made to be worn and disposed of within a year. But that handmade brown sweater? That sucker weighs 3x what a store bought sweater weighs. Its softer, it has better stretch and even with messier seams, its STRONGER. It can survive a trathalon, a hop over a barbed- wire fence, and a minor nuclear explosion.

So hats off to all of the more stubtle fiberworks artists out there, your bulletproof crafts are magnificent.

When you look in the mirror, you shouldn’t feel the need to pick yourself apart and make yourself up with glitz and glimmer. You don’t need to be “hot”. You don’t need to be “sexy”. You don’t need to be “Cottagecore, Dark Academia, Coastal Grandmother, Clean Girl, Goblincore, Barbiecore, Weirdcore, Indie Sleaze, or Gorpcore Girlie”.

It’s okay to just be plain you.

No. You do not need 20 purses that match a niche aesthetic that you’ll only participate in for a month.

No. You do not need 15 Stanley cups.

No. You do not need an endless supply of skincare serums because TikTok convinced you that your skin isn’t glowing enough.

No. You do not need a wardrobe overhaul every season just to stay "relevant."

No. You do not need to live in fear of repeating an outfit or owning shoes that have scuffs and stories.

No. You do not need to master the 20-step morning routine that influencers swear by.

You do not need to turn your existence into a checklist of accomplishments, aesthetics, or approvals.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Whilst you nourish your body with exercise, slow yoga, nighttime body milk, adorn it with jewellery and sultry perfume, carefully drape it with clothes that fit… don’t forget to nourish your mind. Classical music, podcasts, brain games like crosswords, sudoku, mental math, art even if you’re terrible at it, gardening even if your plants never seem to grow, cooking even if you might burn the house down - embrace learning, embrace curiosity, and enjoy your own company. Be the best wife you could be to your own self first. Care for yourself, defend yourself, grow, teach, constructively criticise yourself; be the best parent you could be to yourself.

i can't stop making these

MANIFESTATION REMINDERS

your only job is to fulfill your desire in the 4d

repeating an affirmation for five minutes and then spending the rest of the day wondering where your desire is ISN’T manifesting or persisting (it’s just wasting ur time)

you should only ever seek validation from your imagination, if you want proof that your desire is here— check for proof in the 4d, not the 3d

you’re subconscious ALWAYS believes you, so when you complain about the 3d it believes that too

your outer world is just a reflection of your inner world so why bother being worried about the outer world if it’s only a reflection? If you want change, change the inner world.
