#ok to rb if you see this btw

[reveriecorridor]

i've been mulling it over in my head for a while but i guess i'll post on here and hope someone sees it lol

i've been thinking of making a single neocities for a coherent/easily accessible archive for everything dragalia lost we can possibly get our hands on (characters, minis, story in easy to read script, etc.) but the problem is i have very minimal (if non-existant) coding knowledge so... would anyone be interested in helping out?

the scope of what i'm thinking is kind of way too big for one person alone to tackle so. interest check pspspsps

#ok to rb if you see this btw #i dont even know how many dl fans would even be interested in this.... #you just got coconut mall'd #dragalia lost

Having thoughts, TLDR; explaining that Practicing Gratitude is just about learning to notice good things and retraining your brains focus area would be more helpful than simply saying "be grateful!"

I think a lot of the issue people have with being told to try like, gratitude journaling is that when people suggest it they never seem to give a good explanation?? Added to the fact that "self-care" and therapy terminology have been monetized, social media focuses on people's sanitized life highlight reels, and hashtag blessed out-of-touch influencers, and the frankly irritating Pinterest Perfect quotes and journals. I mean. There's just a ton to sort through there.

And like I've tried the gratitude thing!! And I know it's backed up by research!! But when you're in the depths and someone says something about being grateful, it is SO hard not to hear all the echos of "be grateful it's not worse", and the past shame of being cast in the light of "so ungrateful" when you're just having feelings and being upset about something, ya know?

But it finally clicked for me when I stopped using gratefulness language?? Because I also feel like that can be limiting, at least for me. The POINT of the whole exercise is to train your brain to notice good things around you, because obvs ur gonna be in a bad mood if all you notice is the bad!

Obvs it's taken a lot of work in a lot of areas to be at the point where I am, that life feels worth living more than not! But like, the more little good things you notice, the more it feels worth living. But like the gratitude language like I said just doesn't work for me lol

Especially like, the other day driving through the neighborhood I saw a woman going for a run, and she looked like she was struggling but also so determined!! And that was something that made me feel !!!!!! Like life is worth living and trying for!!

She's someone I've never met and may never see again, but seeing her living her life and trying made me want to keep trying too!

So for me trying to put that into a sentence for gratitude, it just takes the joy out I guess haha. "I'm grateful random neighbor was jogging"?? "I'm grateful I saw my neighbor jogging"???? It doesn't quite translate for me. But I could see it and focus on that feeling of fondness for a stranger, and inspiration to keep trying and that not everything is terrible all the time. Consciously focusing on something like that and letting it take up a big part of your day the way something bad might usually can feel really weird at first, but it's so nice once you lean into it??

#gratitude #mental health #mental illness #life is worth living #ok to rb #but keep ur negativity off my post plz and thx #btw goldkirk if you see this your 5 things a day gratitude posts are so good and important and inspiring #i just get hung up on the language of things sometimes bc i misunderstand things!! #and then when i figure it out and share what i figured out ppl are like oh thats what it was the entire time didnt u know? #and im like NO I DID NOT KNOW WHY WAS THIS NOT EXPLAINED CLEARLY #im so good at not knowing things i guess 😌 #ani rambles

this is going to sound really fucked up but i just need to say it i think.

I never realized that people could actually care. I always thought that the depictions of friendship in movies and TV shows were over-the-top portrayals, and weren't things that actually happened. This was then exacerbated by the fact that my entire life I always wanted people to just Know How I Was Feeling like they do on TV and I found out that that's Not How It Works. I always thought I was naive for caring so much about my friends and for doing nice things for them out of the blue, and I always resented myself for resenting my parents for not doing more for me as a child.

So when I got to uni, and my friends started caring about me and asking if I was ok when I looked sad and doing nice things for me, I didn't know what to do with myself. It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me in a long time. When I was staying with a friend, and she said that she left the window open in the room I was going to be staying in because I liked it to be cold when i sleep, I bluescreened. I didn't know how to respond. It is quite literally one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me. No one had ever paid that much attention to the things I liked. Every year on my birthday it was either a gamble if I would get something I actually wanted from my parents (spoiler alert: I was often disappointed) or I would just have to straight up tell them what I wanted. I got accustomed to the latter, and now I don't mind, but receiving two gifts from friends about languages this year made me realize that I could have it so much better.

And don't even get me started on online friends. I sort of thought that everyone was lying about them? Or that it was something unattainable, and reserved only for God's Chosen Favorites or something. But no, there are little people in my phone who care about me. They legitimately care about me as much as I care about them. I've been nervous to ask them about their well-being because I'm still nervous about being naive and getting a wake-up call that no one cares again, but after being told that they were worried about me when I overslept, I think i should know that I'm in the clear. And that's not even including all the times they tell me to go to bed when it's late, and when they ping me about things I may enjoy or things I was involved in.

All this is to say I guess that I'm touched that people remember my existence. It makes me feel good to be wanted. I will be eternally grateful to both my irl and online friends who made me realize that just because my parents or my friends from home didn't care enough to remember what I like or to go out of their way to do nice things for me, it doesn't mean that no one will. I need to step up and do more for you guys. I trained myself to push down my desire to help and check in with people because I thought I was betting on something that I'd never get in return, but now I know I can.

Thank you all, and I love you 💚

#uf this is a long one sorry 😅 #i put it under a cut so it wont clog up your dash #btw if you are an online friend and you do something nice for me #what you arent seeing is me squealing and crying and bluescreening before giving your message a heart emoji and possibly the 🥹 emoji #the 🥹 emoji to me is a dear friend #🥹 to me in the context of accepting nice things means that im basically already crying #i am so incredibly appreciative of you all #i will not stop saying it #and i need to say it more to my irls faces #if you know me irl and you see this expect me to tell you very soon that i fucking love you #and if youre an online friend and you have vagueposted about something happening to you since ive met you #you may or may not get a message about it (depending on how chicken i am) because i fucking care about your well-being goddamnit #idk idk idk i just #it still amazes me that this isnt fake #that you actually care #i keep thinking that ill say something wrong or whatever and ill lose it all #but in the back of my mind i know that isnt true #i should probably be telling all this to a therapist but therapy is expensive and posting online is free #there was something else i wanted to say but i forgor so ill edit and add it when i rember #ok to rb #long post #personal

[goldden-sunrise]

lmao honestly i dont really care and i cant do much about it but @ proshipper who "rewrote" my post you are an adult you have better things to do than steal posts of a teenager on the internet. i dont really care about mine tbh but i saw they did another one where they called the original writing "clumsy :)" and genuinely No if you think its bad write something yourself rather than just changing a few words in something someone else came up with.

#rambles #i personally am not mad about mine but seeing the other one made me just. eugh. please you do not have to criticise everything you see #ok to rb btw i doubt anyone will but like #its honestly just kinda funny. you are more than 10 years older than me its kind of pathetic that youre stealing my writing bc you cant #do it yourself

i don’t like the post going around that’s like “u need to eat vegetables even if ur autistic and it’s hard i promise u can find a way to prepare them that works!!!” it just feels . Bad. No hate to the person who made it bc that advice does work for some people, but when you’re specifically including autistic ppl who are more likely to deal with ARFID (like me) that sort of advice can come off as really patronizing and rude. eating disorders are not rational, and it typically doesn’t matter how the food is prepared . Some people just can’t eat certain things and instead of being like “you can do it i promise push your boundaries!!” I would instead recommend supplements to get the vitamins you need. also like—nobody *has* to be healthy. Like obviously if you are able to get the nutrients you need you should but in the case of people who *can’t* they are not lesser or just not trying hard enough; they are ppl who deserve respect and autonomy over their own choices. Idk just rubbed me the wrong way.

#i hope this makes sense again I’m not trying to be rude to the person who made the post it just made me personally a little upset #and to see some ppl i follow rb has been . eh #not super judging because it is probably good advice if you don’t have arfid/any other disorder that causes food aversion #but . ugh. yeah idk #ok to rb btw #bardic ranting #i think some of my feelings on this may be a bit misplaced bc having arfid means ppl give u this advice all the time and it can get tiring #to have ppl assuming u “just haven’t tried this one thing it’ll work i swear! #so again less of an issue with the post itself and more the common narrative of being weird to ppl who are unable to eat healthy food #arfid

You guys ever have blorbos you lost in the divorce. Like your ex was really into them so now you can’t ever think about the character without being reminded of the ex

#i noticed this fandom in general isnt that great at tagging a lot of common things like blood/body horror etc HSHDHJSHJ #kas talks #just bc its cartoony does not mean i want to see it i wish to Not See It #this is ok to rb btw if you wish to spread the word NDHNDH

[turtle-trash]

Ik that it’s basically my pinned post but reminder that the turtles are TEENAGERS. If I see anyone else who forgets that I might just break the no human s.kulls rule for my s.kull collection

[added dni bc. Of course I did why wouldn’t I]

#tmnt #rottmnt #<- I think those are the two main tags people go in #ok to rb btw #also before anyone asks yes I have a s.kull collection. I’m adding the period on the word so that it doesn’t appear in that tag or whatever #if you want to see them send me an ask n I’ll dust off my vc blog to post them #but that’s off topic for this post. the topic is how some of y’all seem to forget the simplest things ab the turtles #this was spurred bc I came across a article that was. gross #and I thought I might remind people

[kirbyofthestars]

honest to fucking god i have zero patience anymore if you make passive aggressive comments on art of interracial ships about “ew hets” or them being incompatible or better off platonic/familial i’m just gonna assume you’re racist and block you.

like. the thing is. i don’t see or receive these comments on any other kind of romantic art. i wonder why. (/sarcasm)

#brought to you by earlier today i saw someone comment ‘’i see her as his mother figure but’’ #on art of two characters of the same age getting married. #lorena.txt #ok to rb btw

[pennypalblorkposts]

i think its interesting that december has a unique error page when all other ones for wrong urls lead to just the gif of the dog sleeping and music in the back (im assuming so at least because i entered sans spam ham and spamton into it and it led to the same thing.)

#deltarune #penny posts #ok to rb #im just now catching up #spamton sweepstakes #btw mute the spamton sweepstakes tag if you dont want to see me talk about this

[antonblastdeluxe]

Just an fyi I will block you without second thought if I see you defend Mcpig and/or claim he was ‘cancelled’. Holding a white guy accountable for gross stuff he was clearly never held accountable for at the time isn’t cancelling, you fucking weirdos.

One of these days you’re going to blindly defend a content creator and lose a friend or worse over it. Is it worth it? Is it worth enjoying a piece of media ‘uncritically’? You can enjoy your media, the absolute least you can do is not defend some random loser who will never care about you defending him.

#kirm rambles ✨ #this is ok to rb btw just #ugh I’m still seeing ppl in the tag defend him and #you can shut up? you’re more ‘annoying’ than the people you claimed ‘cancelled him’ #you aren’t a real pt fan if you didn’t know the discord sucked btw /hj
