Basic Fucking Kindness

socialization "if you are hiking in a group and waiting for slower people to catch up, dont start walking again when they do catch up, because then you got a rest and they didnt"

self compassion, socialization "being angry at someone who hurt you doesnt make you a bad person"

self compassion "i just saw this "you're not lazy, you only have a certain amount of energy and right now you are using it all to survive" "

body "not eating because i feel nauseous | feeling nauseous because im not eating dont get me wrong, this is # mood but try eating a piece of bread with salt"

mental illness "i want to upgrade my depression to the one that makes you create “Starry Night" and not the one that has you lay in bed and try and eat a bagel without having to use your hands. Van Gogh actually painted Starry Night while receiving treatment ina hospital for his depression. In fact, most, if not all, of his most successful paintings were done while he was receiving treatment of some sort. When he wasnt, he often couldn't bring himself to get out of bed at all let alone paint. A bit oversimplified perhaps, but the upgrade you're looking for is likely treatment"

self compassion, trauma "who you are becoming is more important than who you've been"

socialization, self compassion "important reminder: you get to decide who you give your time, energy and space to and you really dont have to feel guilty about it"

kindness, socialization "your level of education means nothing if you never learned any compassion"

(bigger pic for clarity)

plates, closet, therapy, trauma, healing, growth "therapist: you need to open up more me: i cant therapist: why not me: let me visualise it for you"

self compassion, intrusive thoughts "if courage isnt the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isnt the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it [..] by this same token, maybe goodness isnt the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to your moral ideas in spite of them"
