you may regret your last conversation with your loved one. having those perfect final words is so rare. instead, bask in how you and your loved one shared the ability to speak nonchalantly to one another or that you were close enough to have argued. you and your loved one shared so much and no petty fight will ever take that away. forgive yourself.

It’s okay to make things easier for yourself! Use the accommodations, eat easy food when your spoons are low, clean in unconventional ways! Take shortcuts when you need to. You don’t need to constantly push yourself to your limits. It is okay to make things easier on yourself. In fact, please make things easier for you when you can. You deserve that.

We live in such a flawless, air-brushed world where all the latest trends and styles are flooded into our feeds every day. Be it beauty or fashion or decor (I get bombarded with beautiful clean artist studios and I have no idea where they fit their boxes of merch). So I just wanted to embrace the weirdness and ugliness a little! Our lives don’t look like those of professional influencers or people with social media teams, and that’s normal! We don’t need to strive for that!

No matter what your intrusive thoughts might tell you, there is nobody who can replace you. It’s impossible. You are completely unique, with your own thoughts, experiences, and personality. Nobody can replace you: it’s impossible. 🌱
- There is nobody in the universe who could replace you.

Regardless of:
- If your fanfic is nowhere near canon.
- If you wrote an AU
- If your characters aren’t totally “in character”
- If your fic gets 2 kudos or 2000 kudos
- If you’re just starting out on your writing journey or
- If you’re a published/established author who writes fanfiction to chill.
Your efforts are valid.
Your stories are valid.
You are valid.
The value of your fanfiction is based not on how close to canon you can get it, nor how much value (or lack thereof) content creators/show staff believe it to have, but how happy it made you feel to write it.

Many of us are part of more than one marginalized community. Most of us have also struggled to reclaim some measure of pride, dignity, and recognition in each of them.
Despite your hard work there will always be some people who choose to see and celebrate only one of these communities represented in you to the exclusion of the other(s).
It isn't your fault. You're not just pretending, or letting your communities down by not being recognised for who you are.
Someone else's refusal to acknowledge the complexities of life is their problem, and not something you can control.

No one else gets to tell you how to identify or what labels are right for you. You have the final say over your own identity.

There's something about the words "thank you for being you" that make me feel like all the small things I've done were not all for nothing. In this little life, I can at least be myself and spread kindness to those who cross my path.

"Get out of your comfort zone!"
Dude, I'm autistic; what is this "comfort zone" of which you speak? Sounds lovely; why would I want to leave it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we all just take a breath and remind ourselves that we can refuse to be referred to in a particular way without shitting on people who do like being referred to that way?
You can say you don’t identify as “queer” without demonizing the queer community.
You can not want “gay” being used as an umbrella term for you without taking it away from people who do like to use it for themselves.
You can hate being called “it” without taking it out on people whose pronouns are it/its.
You can be uncomfortable being called “they” without blaming people with they/them pronouns.
You can not like neopronouns for yourself without making that the problem of people who do like them.
You can dislike having terms like “joyfriend” applied to yourself without mocking people who’d love to be called someone’s joyfriend.
If you’re fed up with some kind of expectation that you ought to be okay with being called any particular term, then rage at that expectation, not the term or the people who like it.
