growth, healing, identity "we all have a bag. we all pack differently. some of us are traveling light. some of us are secret hoarders who've never parted with a memory in our lives. i think we are all called to figure out how to carry our bag to the best of our ability, how to unpack it, and how to face the mess. i think part of growing up is learning how to sit down the floor with all your things and figuring out what to take with you and what to leave behind"

invisible problems, chronic illness, mental health, socialization "people can be so quiet about their pain, that you forget they are hurting. that is why it is so important to always be kind"

body "reminder that you have the right to alter your body until you feel at home in it! whether thats clothes, makeup, haircuts, or more permanent things like piercings, tattoos, hormones, and surgeries! its your flesh vessel and you are the only one who should get to design it"

lgbt, discrimination "wow its almost like the oversexualisation of queerness is one of the reasons why asexuals, non-binary folks and aromantics are not seen as queer enough to be part of the community" [edit: the pictured text should be read as sarcasm]

mental health, masking, socialization, invisible problems, chronic illness, neurodivergency "i wonder what i should wear today... [...] i dont even need thee mask anymore, so i destroy them over and over again but somehow, they just come right back on"

body, adhd, neurodivergency "the stages of hunger while nd are"

growth, healing, socialization, boundaries "a little secret from a therapist: emotionally immature people will not respond well to your boundaries [...] your job is to mantain your boundaries despite"

abuse, trauma, self compassion "surviving your abuser didnt make you a better person"

trauma, mental health "your daily reminder that traumatised brains are literally physically different to a normal brain. repeated trauma and abuse has a severe, long term effect"

lgbt, labels, society "i think its actually cool and great not to have any especially specific descriptors for your gender and/or orientation. just do whatever you want. yeehaw."

Louder, for the people in the back
