While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

As I get older I’m starting to let go of the guilty urge to build permanent habits. Like, a while ago I decided I would start jumping rope every day. I did it for like three weeks and felt good about it. Then I got bored, because of course I did, because I’m a human person. So now I do a bit of kickboxing because that’s what I like now. The other week I cut all sugar from my diet, just for a week, to challenge myself. Now I’m back to eating sweets but I don’t crave them as much.

Growth is about stretching, trying new things, and setting small, realistic goals for yourself, not picking a “good habit” you’ve decided you will be doing always and forever from now on. That’s not discipline. That’s pointless self-torture and unhealthy resistance to change.

What’s good for you today will not necessarily be what’s good for you tomorrow.

Accidentally annoying someone doesn't make you a horrible person and you don't have to spend your whole life censoring yourself to prevent it from ever happening.

Temper: A Novel (2018)

In a land similar to South Africa, twin brothers are beset by powerful forces beyond their understanding or control in this thrilling blend of science fiction, horror, magic, and dark humor—evocative of the works of Lauren Beukes, Ian McDonald, and Nnedi Okorafor—from the author of The Prey of Gods.

Two brothers.

Seven vices.

One demonic possession.

Can this relationship survive?

Auben Mutze has more vices than he can deal with—six to be exact—each branded down his arm for all the world to see. They mark him as a lesser twin in society, as inferior, but there’s no way he’ll let that define him. Intelligent and outgoing, Auben’s spirited antics make him popular among the other students at his underprivileged high school. So what if he’s envious of his twin Kasim, whose single vice brand is a ticket to a better life, one that likely won’t involve Auben.

The twins’ strained relationship threatens to snap when Auben starts hearing voices that speak to his dangerous side—encouraging him to perform evil deeds that go beyond innocent mischief. Lechery, deceit, and vanity run rampant. And then there are the inexplicable blood cravings… .

On the southern tip of an African continent that could have been, demons get up to no good during the time of year when temperatures dip and temptations rise. Auben needs to rid himself of these maddening voices before they cause him to lose track of time. To lose his mind. And to lose his …

Hi 🥺 can you possibly list some black French Youtube channels you know ? ( they can be on any subject! It’s just already hard to find black Youtubers in English but finding them in French is 😅😅😅)

Hello,

I don’t watch much French content but I’ve heard of:

Gloria (Gen Z, lifestyle),

Hélène NK (black hair),

Crazy Sally (lifestyle, politics),

Yanissa (beauty),

Jeune Afrique (co-op),

Les Parodie Bros (comedy),

Edward Sad (queer, lifestyle),

L’InConfortable (podcast about race),

I recommend that you change your account’s language temporarily so you can search for keywords related to your hobbies (ex: if you’re looking for hair tips, search “Cheveux crépus’ and if you’re into politics and social content, ‘Traoré’ or ‘Misogynoire’). There are a lot of black content creators so I don’t feel super good about just giving you a small list, especially when I don’t know them. The suggestions will also be super useful.

Hope this helps! x
