You don't need a reason to distance yourself from people. If they give you bad vibes then you deserve to honor that gut feeling and protect yourself. Even if they're not doing anything wrong or bad or even if they haven't done anything to you. You can just straight up not like someone, no context necessary. That's valid af and there's not enough emphasis on intuition and gut feelings. Yes, absolutely. Listen to your instincts.

Stop yearning so desperately for the next best thing that you forget to appreciate the present. Sitting in a brand new BMW wishing it was a Bentley, chasing some elusive end point, and losing the magic of today. You do not have to keep pursuing, acquiring, moving. There can be satisfaction in contentment. There can be satisfaction in the now.

"art is not about capturing PERFECTION it is about capturing HONESTY OF A MOMENT. because perfection does not exist but raw honesty and connection to this ever passing timeline does. we are here grabbing life out of the stream and holding it in our hands to cry out I WAS HERE." -Chuck Tingle

picking apart the comphet and cishetnormativity you've been taught is fucking HARD. plus it's frustrating thinking about how non of us asked to be born into instant ingraining of misogynist bullshit. but deeply rewarding as you become more actualized in yourself and your sexuality/sexual self. reading the lesbian masterdoc was a turning point in realizing I don't want to have sex or romance with men (or anyone subscribing to similar ideals).
I don't identify as a lesbian partly because I'm trans and agender, and partly just because "queer" feels much better as a label. but a lot of the masterdoc was still helpful and applicable to me. I can recognize that I want to prioritize sexual, romantic and every type of relationship with women, now. feels like a huge tension in me is slowly releasing.

Ok so I'm no philosopher.
Today I was sitting at my campus and I saw a woman, dressed in a power suit with her makeup and hair done with her shoes and socks off in the grass. That's a little odd, I thought to myself, normally grass-enjoyers are more of the "crunchy granola" type (I live in California). And I realized that I hadn't had my bare feet in the grass since I was a young child. Why? It wasn't socially common. But here I was, seeing this very professional looking woman enjoying the tactile pleasure of the natural world. "That's a good idea" I said to her, feeling a bit bolder than usual.
So I took my shoes and socks off and walked around in the grass. And it was delightful. And it was the best I felt in days. And I realized that I never would have had that delight if it weren't for this lovely woman who showed me, silently, passively, that she wanted to feel grass beneath her feet.
And it made me think about how we as a species lead by example. We aren't a hive mind, obviously. We have free will, but so much of what we do is informed by our peers. How we look to other. What's acceptable. What's expected. What's normal.
And it made me think... Of everything. Every time I've realized I want food when my friends do. Every time I've danced while at a party when there are others willing to do the same. Every time I've been the second person to laugh or talk or cry. Every time I've offered money to the homeless after seeing someone else do so first. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't want to be the only one.
And I think that maybe the one of the many reasons we have "i-pad kids" is because they're not being lead by example. We're on our phones, so are they. They don't know the pleasure of reading because we don't give them a reason to wonder.
The reason we may not have as much empathy and sympathy is because we're not used to showing it. The reason we have trouble talking about our feelings and wants and needs in social spaces is because we don't want to be the first one.
Because kindness begets kindness. Or, at least, interest begets interest, and when there's interest, there's a possibility for change. Inertia is the killer.
So read in public, read to your children, teach kids how to act and be around others. Foster empathy, charity, humility, tell people, especially kids, why it's important. Make it normal to be a nice person for the sake of it. Be public, smile at people, say hello to people, be yourself. Just be.
You might be the reason someone feels the grass beneath their feet, and smiles at you and wonders why they took so long to realize they wanted to.
That's how I want to live, anyway.

As someone who’s been on their healing journey for years, it took me until last year to realize I wasn’t really healing as deeply as I thought I was. Just isolating and avoiding triggers. The moment I truly faced those fears and triggers, things became so much clearer. 💭

my turn to jump on that hazbin theory train
I don't know if it's been suggested before - and it probably was, cause it's kinda obvious, so not claiming originality here. but.
what does get a person into heaven/hell? and why the fuck The Ultimate Dick isn't burning like he obviously should be?
I used to binge watch lucifer, and the whole business with self-actualisation that got angels risen/fallen seems like it could totally apply to hazbin universe at large.
there's no council or judge or omnipotent automatic system to decide that a person is worthy of heaven/hell. instead, once they die, humans go where they themselves feel they should go
because, in general? bad people are usually aware on some level that they are bad, or that they at least aren't good people. no sinner in hell (to my knowledge) is in denial about being an asshole, they revel in it, they know they deserve it, and even if they didn't believe in the afterlife when they were alive, they still felt like if hell was real they belonged there. and no one in heaven doubts their placement either, because they're (mostly) the mentally stable ones who knew they did fine in life and felt good about themselves.
why did Adam go to heaven? because he genuinely believed he deserved it. every once in a while there are psychopaths and narcissists that are so beyond the concept of remorse or basic self-awareness that they not just don't care how fucked up they are - they honestly don't even recognize any of their shit behaviors as such, and therefore slip through the cracks. and nobody looks twice, because they not just don't know to do so, they can't fathom that they would need to.
that also explains why people like Angel Dust, who I'd argue was a better person than The Dick Master even before his redemption, went to hell. not just cause Adam had much less opportunities to sin than Anthony, but because the latter was traumatized and convinced that he deserved eternal damnation.
that's how we get enough psychos in heaven to fill up the exorcist ranks and enough broken, desperate victims in hell to fill up the overlord's pockets.
that, or the entire theory is shit, there is an actual metric and Adam was a good person initially but went insane after thousands of years from sheer boredom like many of us probably would. idk, i'm not a lore expert.

Most people aren’t truly living…
They’re just existing.
Doing the bare minimum to get by.
No ambition…
No drive…
No enthusiasm…
No purpose.
Just floating through life.
People like that don’t win championships.
They don’t make a lasting impact on society.
They don’t contribute to anything.
…and nobody remembers them after they’re gone.
I bet since you’re reading this … you don’t want to end up that way.
You need to make the right choices on a daily basis that push you forward…
…and stop pushing everything off until “the timing is right.”
Life moves fucking fast.
Days turn into weeks…
Weeks turn into months…
Months turn into years…
…and if you don’t take action, you’ll end up looking back at your life with a massive feeling of regret.
Don’t just exist…
Live your life.
