Knowing is half the battle. The other half of the battle is loving yourself as you work towards improvement. We don’t change overnight, so self compassion is necessary. Otherwise the pain of our imperfections could put us into denial.

Abuse seems to be both over and under utilized in current culture. It muddies the waters. Makes it difficult to recognize true harm that could prevent people from being loved and satisfied. Especially if you grow up with this, knowing what healthy love feels like is a mystery.

Panic is rising for many people in the US about prices rising due to #tariffs. #PanicBuying can be destructive. Make a plan and buy one extra thing a week. Let’s not recreate the TP crisis of 2020 or go into debt.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Please let your inner critic have the week off. Life is tough and anything you’re able to do is valuable. (You’re doing much better than you think you are anyway.)

It’s good to be informed and involved, but not all day. Take a moment to look around you in the physical place you are in. Find one pleasant thing. Does the air feel good in your lungs? Is there a bird or flower? Are you with someone you appreciate? Are you resting in a cozy place? Enjoy

If you feel awful, go to the doctor. Especially if you have insurance, just GO.
If you don’t have insurance, find a public hospital, reduced rate clinic. It gets worse if you wait (illnesses (mental & physical) and our system).

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay. It falls on 3/21, because people with Down syndrome have three copies of the twenty-first chromosome. This is the best Down syndrome PSA ever made and I want you to watch and share it. #WDSD2025

Two things can be true at the same time. It’s true there are some awful things happening in Washington DC. It is also true that millions of people in the US did their best to make the world a better place today. Thank you if you are one of them 🕊️

One of the greatest regrets dying people have is that they wished they'd been truer to themselves rather than living the lives people/society asked of them.
I think about that a whole lot, especially in this current situation.
It's not fame or money or work. It's self-acceptance.

there is no universal secret to creating. do what works for you. manifest those vibes. make a playlist. daydream. whatever. creating is tough enough. don't make it harder by forcing yourself into a method just because it works for someone else. just write. just draw. do you. you're doing great.

Music is saving my sanity! Yesterday I was filled with gratitude as I created a playlist, with some songs from before I was born. (prompted by fears about what will be lost in this #chaos)

For those who are considering ending your life -for any reason at all- please do not do it. The financial gain for your family, if any, is not what fam needs, m’friends. They need YOU. We do, too! Please keep the hope alive even if it’s tiny… it’s there! Stay with us, friends. ❤️🐮

The sun shining on my face can help with any bad mood. Remembering it will keep shining long after I’m around to feel it is liberating.
