EVERY BODY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS

Everyone needs Laverne cox to come to their house and spit truth in front of the mirror

its ok. 

hey kids if ur parents are abusive, dont be surprised if they suddenly change all their behaviors when u finally move out, if they start acting very nice and never even allude to all those times Before when they were treating u bad. this is a form of gaslighting and if u plan to keep distant from them as an adult, this may well be the defining characteristics of ur interaction w/ them. it’s tough to navigate this, because u will almost definitely wonder: was i abused? listen… when u sit in ur own home someday, maybe w/ a loved one, and things feel good, and the past feels far away, ur abuse was not made up. ur parents really did those things, and whether or not u want to keep them out of ur life or form a new dynamic w/ them, that’s up to u. but never let them make u believe they were always good to u.

Holy fuck, this

Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.

When you get diagnosed or self diagnosed it is very common to start showing more and more symptoms. It isn’t that you are faking or doing it on purpose, it’s because you now don’t have to hide them and you’re expressing yourself fully in ways you though you needed to hide.

If you are reading this, 

you have survived your 

entire life up until this point.

You have survived traumas, 

heartbreak, devastation, betrayal

and different phases of life. 

But here you are …

You go motherfucker. 

You’re strong. 

You’re awesome.

A quick self-confidence boost and reminder that I drew when I was feeling scared with starting my own webcomic…

But I had to remind myself that the only way for me to get better…

Is to keep trying. 

Here’s hoping that you fellow artists don’t give up either; you can do it friend. I know you can.

I am crying right now (no, seriously). I needed this.

I need to remember:

- it is not my fault my if parents refuse to acknowledge or accomodate my mental and physical illnesses.

- it is not healthy or normal to keep negative feelings bottled up in fear of ridicule.

- I was not responsible for creating a healthy relationship with my parents when I was a teenager. It was not my responsibility to take care of them and their feelings at the expense of my own

- The worst thing I’ve ever done to my mom was to get on a bus and leave without telling her after she yelled at me until I was shaking with tears. She still makes me feel bad about it four years later. That does not make me a “problem child” (and that term is problematic in itself).

- it is ok to remove yourself from a harmful situation, even when the people causing harm are your parents.

- I wake up, I go to work, I drive home. I am living, I am breathing. I am doing my best and not hurting anyone. I am a good person. I am worth love and respect.
