#live for yourself

[happilyghostlyarie]

I like to dance.

I convinced myself I hated to because someone said I didn't know how.

I like to sing.

I convinced myself I hated to because someone didn't like my voice.

I like to talk.

I convinced myself I hated to because I'm quiet most of the time and that's what people see of me.

I like hugs.

I convinced myself I didn't because people said I was cold.

I'm forgetful.

I told myself I must have a great memory because people say I'm smart.

I'm disorganised

I convinced myself I shouldn't be because people say I look neat.

I can't fall in love

I told myself I eventually would because people say everyone does.

I don't want to sleep with anyone

I told myself I would have to because that's the way humans work.

I'm tired of living my life for other people. I'm tired fitting myself into their expectations. I'm tired of being told that parts of me need to change because they don't fit my whole Image. I'm tired of not being seen as 'human'.

I want to live for myself for the first time

I want to be happy for my sake if only for this life.

One thing that feels freeing is realizing that it's okay to do something that makes you happy after you've been taught to be ashamed of it or that it was wrong for some reason

I ran around on all fours a lot as a kid, and there were plenty of days where I came back with my hands black from the rubber ground on the play ground

My dad did not approve of this. I was yelled at, hit, and told that I was being punished for acting like an animal, and that if I wanted to act like one so badly they would leave me naked in the backyard (they may not have been serious about that last threat, but it still disturbed me to think about and still does to this day). It made me feel like it was something that was wrong and I should be ashamed of, and I never did it again for years

But I want to do it again, I want to run through the woods until I'm breathless, climb trees, and just do something fun. Now that I've stumbled upon quadrobics, I'm realizing that I can do that. I can be free of that shame and judgement and let myself be happy, and it feels so good to come to that realization.

I'm still learning to not care about my father's judgement, and it feels good to care less about whether I'm a disappointment to him or not. Hell, a part of me hopes to be as disappointing to him as possible, because if my unashamed joy is disappointing to him, then he can go fuck himself. A good father should always prioritize their child's happiness over what they think other people will think of them

I am a fatherless creature. I am not tied down by the judgment of an authority in my life. I live for me and not his approval

Even if I wasn't Therian or Otherkin I would still support anyone who is, because no one should ever be made to feel shame for something harmless that brings them joy and contentment in life, and I'd hope they were supported by the people in their life

If your personal standards are always dictated by what other people think of you, then your journey for acceptance is never over and you’re always going to fall short.

It's okay to break sometimes,

To rot in your room for a long time,

or to take a break once in a awhile.

We were never made to be strong for a long time.

Writing this cause I was thinking when time gets rough.

just talkn lol

but im also realizing as i get older that extrinsic things shouldnt be what ends up determining my own interests or intrinsic beliefs / thoughts. people who are so invested in your life to the extent that they are bithered by your harmless actions just make me sad. so mjch energy dedicated to hate for no good reason other than some twisted form of distinction.

who cares if agere is considered unorthodox if at the end of the day ot helps me cope, heal, and find peace ? it has postively impacted not only my relationship with myself, but the child that i once was.

who cares if the video games i play are "not real games" if i like them, enjoy spending time in them, and enjoy the calm it gives me ? theyr fun, and help me to slow down in a life that is so jam-packed wifh things.

who cares if kpop is cringe if i like the music, enjoy the connections i make, and can collect cute little knickknacks for the artist i like ? i dont even know whats cringe abt it honestly. its freeing to just embrace it atp

bcos at the end of the day, im the one who has to live with myself. no one else. so im going to pursue the careers im interested in, date the ppl i want to, cut my hair, learn guitar, and buy cute clothes.

its so sad that realize that everytime i do anything i am constantly and frantically seeking the approval of people who i dont even know most of the time. strangers, who will probably nvr remember me, who i myself will never remember at the bus stop, in malls, at the dentist. its so exhausting and miserable for me to go outside even, bcos i am performing for everyone. and im trying to lessen that.

ive been reflecting alot these days and i just feel like life is too short and new and weird to spend it being miserable. i have been miserable for my entire tween and teen years so far, i want to try and get better. if not for myself right now, then the kid i was, or the person j will be.

thats it lol i was just feeling wistful

as morbid as it is, you don’t know if one day, even tomorrow, you might not wake up.

if it was over, would you look back on your life and be content? or would you regret it?

every morning you wake up, remind yourself - live the life you’ve always dreamed about

#tell that person i love you #buy that cute shirt or silly mug #go to a place you’ve never been before #pick up that hobby you pushed aside #make your life worth living #live for yourself #live as much as possible #life #love #i love you #not a poem #poetry

If you think about it, No one can force you to do anything. No one can physically do that. So live for YOU, do what YOU want to do. One day all this will be over and it's not going to mean anything if you live life the way other people tell you to.

Let me admonish you, first of all, to go alone; to refuse the good models, even those which are sacred in the imagination of men, and dare to love God without mediator or veil. Friends enough you shall find who will hold up to your emulation Wesleys and Oberlins, Saints and Prophets. Thank God for these good men, but say, 'I also am a man.' Imitation cannot go above its model. The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it, because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator, something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's.

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Divinity School Address” (1838)
