#Self-reminders

Today's mantra: Art is not content.

Content is to be consumed by as many 'users' as possible, measured and valued according to that measurement. Content is about numbers, statistics. Even when useful, content has a short lifespan and is meant to be replaced by a newer piece. It is single-use plastic, no matter how well packaged.

Content expects a transaction, reciprocity.

Art is transformational even if for one person only, and that person may be the creator themselves. Art is for human beings, and its value escapes any system of measurement. Art lasts forever, it is to be re-visited, re-experienced, re-lived endlessly. Art is not afraid of another art. It is the piece of fabric my great-grandmother used as a mantlepiece, and it is now a part of my jacket.

Art has no expectations. If you take something from it, it is only a byproduct.

Art is useless, and that is its beauty.

I must refuse to believe otherwise.

don’t be afraid to be proud of yourself or to give yourself a pat on the back for accomplishing ‘little’ things, or things that don’t seem like a big deal to others! if it’s a big accomplishment in YOUR eyes then you DESERVE to feel proud, full stop! don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise!

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

trying your best does not mean putting an unbearable amount of strain on yourself.

there is no such thing as being "behind in life" but it's okay to recognise that you missed out on some things whilst you were busy surviving

i’ve heard a lot of people say “don’t reach out to your friends first and see how many people will remain in your life. those are your true friends” and i get it. it sucks and it’s tiring constantly being the one to message first, to initiate hang outs but don’t take this so literally. some friendships require initiation. i have lost touch with so many people who genuinely cared about me and wanted me in their life because i stopped reaching out. it’s a hard pill to swallow but honestly some people just suck at it and it doesn’t mean they don’t love and value you. i’ve reconnected with some people over the past few months and it’s crazy how genuinely happy they are to see me and how engaged they are in the conversation. i just think sometimes we’re too harsh on each other & too quick to emphasize other peoples flaws and remove them from our lives but then we’ll all be alone and what’s the point of life then!!!!

#i ramble but idk how else to explain this #some ppl are just shitty at reaching out but they still love with their entire being #these belong to honeyy #reminders #gentle reminders #positivity #relationships #friendships #self care #5k #10k #15k #20k #25k #30k

shakes self NO YOUR ART IS NOT BAD!!! SO WHAT IF IT TAKES YOU A WHILE TO COMPLETE DRAWINGS!!!! AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAVING FUN AND TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY - EVEN FOR FIVE MINUTES - TO DRAW, IT IS OK!!!!!!

#self-reminders #going through it today and i don't want to be

[machineryangel]

another important thing to remember is 1) u can pick up any hobby at any point in ur life and get outstandingly good at it & 2) the project u've been working on & aren't pleased w the current outcome so far will not be your last. u will draw/crochet/paint/sculpt/write another piece, and another, and you will have many chances to be fully content w your craft. so you should cherish the joy of making art instead of worrying ab the results & think ab how lovely it is that we're all vessels for artistry and we can share the divine act of creation!!!!!

despite feeling overall much better, i still have my ‘bad’ days and i still struggle with a lot of things. but i know i’ll get through it. i know i will. i have hope that things will be great for me one day.

In case you are full of doubts while stumbling upon this post: You are more than your bad days. You are more than your sadness. You are more than these bad thoughts telling you that you have no purpose. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You are so damn worthy. Nothing and no one can ever take that away from you.

"go outside and touch grass" but about intimacy. go outside (to a lesbo club night). touch the skin of another dyke. you'll feel better
