some days you do big things and conquer the universe and other days you’re really proud of yourself for making a spectacular grilled cheese and not killing yourself but either way it’s all good
a very important post
this post literally just turned my whole day around
If you did something that made you really proud, it doesn’t matter what it is. You got out of bed, you interacted with people, you got through another day. Be proud of that.
And don’t be afraid to be proud of “tiny” things, either. Be proud you got out of bed! Was it difficult? Yes? Then be proud you did it! Nothing has a set difficulty level, for some people things are easy and for others they’re hard. As my therapist said, “Don’t ‘should’ on yourself.” Don’t tell yourself you should just get up and do things, or it shouldn’t be hard. If it is, it is, and that’s what you’re working with, so keep your expectations within your current capabilities.
This is it: this is your sign. You’re brand new, refreshed, empowered to change. Your calmer, softer times are coming. Your confidence, your happiness, your bliss, is arriving. Self acceptance is easier, and taking care of yourself is no longer a chore, but something you look forward to. You start to feel replenished – you’re *you* again – and the next chapter of your happier life begins now.
if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band
this actually made me cry with joy also one of them is eating noodles
It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*
Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”
Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)
Bringing this back. I think this video could singlehandedly bring about world peace.
yes must reblog again. unmute this. it makes me so happy. i’m crying! there’s one with a rubber ducky on his head! and another one juggling!! pass me a tissue sobs
Just a reminder in case your mind is playing tricks on you today: You matter. You’re important. You’re loved & your presence on this earth makes a difference whether you see it or not
Welcome to your 30s, where it seems like everyone except you has already done what they were supposed to do. You are still role-playing the responsible adult while also secretly playing with Toys R’ Us Lightsabres.
Welcome to your 40s. You might as well openly enjoy being who you’ve always been because at this point the people with a death grip on “supposed to” just seem kind of sad.
Welcome to your 50s! The people who did it the prescribed way have had time to get bored with it and start over. The people who were clearly screwing up and heading for trouble went there and came out the other side. Almost nobody’s that great-looking any more (except that one person that nobody would have predicted would be a middle-aged knockout) and almost everybody turned out both smarter and nicer than you expected.
(But would it kill young people to speak up and not mumble?)
IT GOT BETTER IT GOT BETTER !!! LMAOOOOOOOO OMG IT GOT SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER!!!!
