getting better is like *absolves childhood me of guilt for things i was too young to understand* *forgives present version of me for not being compassionate enough to my younger self* and so on
Accepting your limitations when you have a chronic illness or disability doesn’t mean you’re lazy or pessimistic. It’s more than ok to acknowledge and respect the fact that there are things you just can’t do. Don’t listen to anyone who tries to put you down or make you feel guilty for saying “no” when you aren’t able to do something.
I read this post the other day that said “sometimes people pretend you’re a bad person so they don’t feel guilty for the things they did to you” and boiiii has that one stuck with me
FLINT LOOKS SO DEJECTED IN THAT PREVIEW. Silver is hurting his feelings and Flint seems scared that Silver will tell him that he’s done with him I’M NOT OKAY.
flint mentions silver as “the fourth member” of this club, as in gates, miranda and thomas. he blames himself for these, and silver is touching his biggest fear without realizing the full extent of this. his words area adding to flint’s guilt over thomas, guilt over miranda, and im so fucking glad they are talking about this cause flint needs to open up about all of it

#she’s bleeding out and her priority is still to mumble out words of absolvement#her defining personality trait is the guilt she feels for sins others made her commit#and she feels that guilt pressing on her all the time and she feels as though she’s the one to blame#yet she know how shitty she feels so she works her hardest to absolve everyone else of similar sins#things they were coerced into doing#did unknowingly#were brainwashed into doing#she makes everyone know that horrors they committed by someone else’s will are not their fault#yet she can’t do it for herself#sorry i’ll just be off crying (x)
All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.
a mutt! she’s a stinking mutt!
“I don’t believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don’t judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.”

People who say "you should be grateful that you don't have (insert another illness here)" to people who have any sort of chronic illness need to stop.
Stop making people feel bad. Stop comparing illnesses. Stop making people feel guilty. Just stop.
On hesitating to come out: “You think you’re in a place where you’re all I’m thrilled to be gay, I have no issues about being gay anymore, I don’t feel shame about being gay, but you actually do. You’re just not fully aware of it. I think I still felt scared about people knowing. I felt awkward around gay people; I felt guilty for not being myself.” — Ellen Page for Flare Magazine, June 2014
